This list of basketball movies in a previous thread may help with people making up their minds:

Basketball Movies

I don't know if I can narrow my choice down to just one movie. I love Hoosiers, White Man Can't Jump, The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault, Coach Carter and Above the Rim for various different reasons.

Glory Road for me!
Can't believe no one has mentioned it yet.
I love the fact that it is based on a true story.

The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh, starring me of course. Nothing comes close.

How is this even a debate? I agree with Sam...Hoosiers is above and beyond better than those that followed (Glory Road and Coach Carter ect.). The late Dennis Hopper's perforance alone makes this movie.

Hoosiers by a mile. Loved Hoop Dreams, but Hoosiers is an all-time classic.

Glory Road and Love and Basketball! Most basketball movies I've enjoyed. Have to agree though that Hoosiers is a classic.

Go man Go the original black and white movie

The story of Harlem Globe Trotters

A rare classic all basketball nuts should watch. It hasn't been on TV for over 30 years I think, I wish to get a copy
