...Irresistible....HOOSIERS is about as sweetly unself-conscious as a film can be...

Hackman is wonderful as an inarticulate man tense with the struggle to curb a flaring, mysterious anger.

The kind of corny and manipulative pic that makes me glad I'm not a basketball fan.

Immensely enjoyable....For those viewers who have dreamed of sinking that last big shot, or get misty-eye when their favorite team wins it all, HOOSIERS will look like a masterpiece.

...It's as engaging, as modest, as utterly American and as thrilling as the true-life story it's based on...

Description by OLDIES.com:
Nominated for two Academy Awards, this triumphant tale of a high school basketball teams' long-shot attempt to ascend to the State Championship is filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense and breathless excitement! Featuring "fast-break cinematography that catches the pace of the game" (Washington Post) and intense, heart-rending performances from Gene Hackman, Barbara Hershey and Dennis Hopper, Hoosiers is rated one of ESPN's and Sports Illustrated's top-ten sports movies of all time.
Hackman is Norman Dale, a basketball coach whose checkered past has led him to a last-chance position with a last-chance team. Made to feel unwelcome by squad members, an icy fellow teacher (Hershey) and townspeople who nearly have him fired, Dale perseveres with a gritty demeanor and an unwavering passion for the game. But winning over the team is only half the battle in a world where small-town teams can end up playing big-time rivals ... and a downtrodden outsider can rouse the pride of an entire county. As "a well-made slice of Americana" (Leonard Maltin), Hoosiers "scores big" (Washington Post)!
Product Description:

Academy Award Nominations: Best Supporting Actor--Dennis Hopper, Best Original Score.
