As popular as the NCAA Tournament is, it's amazing how few really good movies and TV shows focus on the game that inspired it. Seriously, start naming football and baseball films. You can go on for hours,[url=http://erectiledysfunctiontalk.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=324959]ay ban sunglasses Under difficult circumstances,[/url], right? Now try to do the same thing with basketball. Trust me, it won't take long before you're scraping names like "Juwanna Mann" off the bottom of the imdb barrel.
Still, some quality basketball DVDs are well worth viewing during those key pauses from bracketology. Consider the following elite eight suggestions.
"" (PG,[url=http://www.zasyxx.cn/E_GuestBook.asp]wholesale[/url],[url=http://minerva.iscientia.net/shop/mkbags.html]michael kors bags for sale[/url], on DVD and Blu-ray), has all the cliche montages and soaring emotional moments one expects from a Disney sports movie. But it deserves credit for compellingly telling the story behind a historical 1966 moment: the first appearance of an all African-American starting line-up in an NCAA championship game. "Glory Road" also stands as one of the rare Hollywood films to capture some of the excitement of March Madness,[url=http://www.mompes.com/index.php?site=gallery&picID=40]cheap baseball jerseys Redskins’ defense holds up its end of the bargain - The Washington Post_1_3[/url],[url=http://www.asji.info/rayban-sunglasses.php]ray ban sunglasses[/url], as it follows the Texas Western Miners through a series of victories that lead to that climactic Big Dance finale against an all-white Kentucky squad.
Many consider "Hoosiers" (PG, on DVD and Blu-ray) the gold standard of basketball movies. Personally, I think it's a tad overrated. (Exhibit A: the distinctly 1980s-era score,[url=http://www.fjcxbjbsh.com/pages/authetnicnfljerseyschina.html]cheap mlb jerseys[/url], which sounds completely absurd as the soundtrack for a comeback story set in the '50s.) But because I'd like to avoid receiving hordes of angry e-mails from Indiana basketball loyalists, I will concede that it's strong enough to be included here,[url=http://www.tztzx.com/images/michael_kors_bags.html]cheap michael kor handbags[/url], based on the presence of the always exceptional Gene Hackman. By the way,[url=http://www.orsidelhi.org/images/MLBjerseysChina.html]cheap mlb jerseys[/url], if you crave a quality selection of DVD features, go with the two-disc collector's edition of "Hoosiers," which offers more extras (including a making-of documentary and deleted scenes) than the more recent, but comparatively skimpy Blu-ray release.
If "Hoosiers" isn't the greatest basketball movie of all time, then what is? Easy. It's "Hoop Dreams" (PG-13, on DVD), the immensely moving, epic 1994 documentary about a pair of inner-city Chicago friends struggling to raise their prospects on the court and someday make it to the NBA. This isn't just the finest basketball movie you'll ever see, it's one of the finest documentaries ever made. _________________ ray ban sunglasses |
