Did it win the Trophy for you?

excellent sports movie.
Hackman is, as usual, terrific and Hopper is unexpectedly great, as well.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Very good. But not as great as I'd been lead to believe by many.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Chup.

My thoughts exactly.
I saw it once a long time ago so I probably should give it another look one of these days -- but I just don't remember it in the glowing 'among-the-best-ever' tones that many people use.

[Guest Edgy DC]

More the invocation of the look, style, and pacing than anything special in the script.

I like your linked gallery.
The Kent Falls pic brought back nice memories.
Thanks,

Saw Hoosiers as a sneak preview before it was released to the general public.

There were no expectations so as a result it just blew my socks off.

[Guest Edgy DC]

That's always cool. One of my teachers at college, a Christian Brother not easily manipulated, caught Field of Dreams, as a sneak preview, without any expectations, and came back drooling.

I loved it, growing up in Ireland and not knowing anything about basketball over here it still struck a cord,it was that kind of movie, plus it was small town America which was not something we would see in Ireland a lot.
