My favorite scene was when the coach noticed how the team was in withering awe of the massive state championship stadium, and he reduced it to the fundamentals by having them measure the height of the hoop...the exact same height of the hoop in their home gym...and that was all that mattered.
I’m from Indiana, and when I was a young lad, my grandfather took me to see this in the theater. It was packed, and we had to sit in the front row and ... it was incredible. Good times.
Haven’t heard if he’s sick but he’s getting up in the years and been retired for a while. Hate to see these legends go. Sean Connery recently and really dread the day Clint Eastwood goes. But they leave us with some great movies anyways.
“Remember the Titians and Coach Carter are both good films.” *Remembers that Ryan Gosling is in Remember the Titians* “Remember the Titans is a great movie actually.”
@@christofferjenzen78 Remember The Titans wasn't terrible at all...but even so it came years before Coach Carter?And the characters you're referring to has completely different roles in their respective films? Genuinely can't work out if your comment was meant to be a joke.
@@benzo9059 Well,preordained movies with Denzel as the Good Guy....im so sick of Them so sorry,i despice Titans. But yeah,i thought it was a little funny,my illogical metajoke and youre the only One who caught it.
When I played basketball in high-school, our coaches,as well as some others in our county allowed us to travel to Indiana and play a couple seasonal games in Hoosier gym. One of the coolest experiences.
Thanks for shining a light on this nearly perfect film! I remember back then seeing Dennis Hopper on an Entertainment TV show; him watching the live Oscar nomination announcements at his home. He looked more confused than pleased. "Blue Velvet" had come out in '86 as well and EVERYONE thought he could get nominated for his portrayal of Frank Booth. I agree with the academy- his acting was much more resonant and nuanced in "Hoosiers".
The fact that this movie was based on a true story baffles me. This team overcame insurmountable odds to claim victory. Their story is well-known in the state of Indiana and reminds us to never give up regardless of odds against us.

Hoosiers was shot in my hometown in Indiana. Students from my high school were the extras in the crowd scenes. They came in for a week and did hair and costumes for everyone. It was such a memorable experience. I saw Star Wars at the Avon theater shown in this film. And basketball was still king there in the 80s! I’m sure it still is.
Great movie, but man does it make me feel all gross and creeped out afterwards. There were parts that were hard to watch, but there was some terrific acting (Norton). It would make for a very interesting review.
This is my dad's favorite movie. He grew up in a small farm town in Indiana, so seeing this film for the first time meant a lot to him. He even named me after the character Rade Butcher, though he thought the kid's name was Rafe, hence my name being Rafe. Funny story, great film, also the music is fantastic.
Hey Chris, when will we get your review on “Judas and the Black Messiah”? If you won’t be reviewing that movie, I genuinely understand; but I’d really love to hear your thoughts about it.

I was hoping you would do this one. One of the first sports movies that had me hooked and emotionally invested. It’s also one of the first movies I realized my dad had good taste in movies lol. Great movie
I rate "Hoosiers" as the third best sports movie ever. Second? "Moneyball." And first, a movie few Americans have ever seen, "The Miracle of Bern" (Das Wunder von Bern), about a football obsessed boy in Essen, Germany, his relationship with his father just returned after 10 years in Russian captivity, and Germany's upset win in the 1954 World Cup.
@@christofferjenzen78 As far as I know no one, other than fans of the losing team (Hungary), was "upset" about the result. And BTW, the subject of this video is sports movies, not axe-grinding over history.
Does anyone miss Gene Hackman in movies? I feel so weird that his last movie is Welcome to Mooseport and Jack Nicholson’s is How Do You Know. Such whimpers to go out on.
This is just one of those movies that tugs at your emotions and heartstrings..in ways that most movies cannot. i think the nostalgia is part of it, but the display of human emotions and real human problems....is something we can all relate to, cuz we've all been or had known someone in our life like the Coach, shooter, jimmy or barbara hershey's character....this is an all time great classic, not just for sport films, but of all films. i give it an A+
"Go run the picket fence and don't get caught watching the paint dry!" This is probably the most complete performance from Dennis Hopper. He was incredible.
Best sports movie ever! I remember my sister showed this to my dad who was a history teacher and a basketball coach. Nothing ever affected him as much as this movie did. He was a teen in the late fifties and one of the top players in the state of Ohio. What got him most was seeing the players playing at The Butler Field house on the type of court he used to play on. I am not a sports fan and even this film ranks high on my list. Absolutely inspiring. That score and the actual Indiana scenery makes this movie.
This is one of those movies that completely captures the feel of high school basketball from any time pre 1995ish. As some one who grew up in a small town, I can relate to the intensity and pagentry of supporting our team. This movie represents it perfectly. Other great movies that capture high school life perfectly are 3 O'Clock High for its anxiety in a bully situation and Dazed and Confused for its weekend and summer small town night life.
This is one of my all time favorite movies! I grew up in Indiana where there are 2 seasons-basketball season and waiting for basketball season. Although the screen writer took some liberties with the story he did really capture the essence of what diehard basketball fans are like in Indiana. Especially with Dennis Hopper‘s character, Shooter. I have met many like him over the years, even have a few in my own family. Great review, thanks.
Not just an excellent sports movie, an excellent movie period. My favorite scene is when Dennis Hopper is visably nervous to lead the team and his son gives him a hint to call the game-winning play.

As you mentioned, this is a movie with a lot of heart. I’m a millennial who doesn’t particularly care about sports, but this is still one of my favorites.

Because many of my friends were in this movie, I was invited to attend the first ever showing of the movie in it's finished cut. The official premier was later that evening. Thirty seconds in I turned to one of my friends (Dave Casey, second from the left at 2:24) and said, "I like this already." I spent most of my life in Indiana, was in attendance at the State Finals in Hinkle Fieldhouse, the building use to shoot the State Final scene, when my high school played for the championship in 1967 (we lost the final game), and covered many basketball high school basketball games as a sports writer and photographer, and many state finals as the photographer for the state high school athletic association for 20 years. While some aspects of the tournament were not included in this story, the feel of high school basketball in Indiana, and how the game was played back then, is spot on. It took about eight years to get my second wife to agree to watch this movie with me. After that, every year she insisted we watch it again. I have the two DVD collectors edition of this, which includes deleted scenes. There were some scenes deleted to reduce running time from just under three hours, that really do help the tell the full story, particularly more about the Barbara Hershey part and what became of her character.
I really love this movie. I like to think that the discussion regarding the final play in the movie was the writer's internal monologue trying to decide who should make the final shot.
What I appreciated about viewing Hoosiers for the first time was how predictable the films is yet how much it draws you into the story. Even though you know what the outcome will be in the climax of the film, you are still surprised and cheering along with Dennis Hopper in full extasy. I've list count of how many times I've watched this film.
and the best lex luthor ! ..gene is a great actor.. the french connection, superman ,narrow margin, unfrogiven, the firm, crimson tide, extreme measures, absolute power, antz, heist..
Despite its success and nods, this IMO has gone off the radar for some years and its due to its formulaic story, but IMO this film has heart and soul. the score, Hackman’s and Hopper’s performances and then comes the last shot of the film, OMG... I was in tears. The heart and soul of films of this period has all but evaporated. Cannit wait for your review of Raging Bull
My central Indiana high school was called off for three days so we could all go be extras in Hoosiers. I got to run on the court after Ollie sinks the underhand free throws. It's a ridiculously sentimental movie, but it's the only one I'm in, so I'm thinking it's pretty much a masterpiece.
Chris, grew up in the Director's hometown. I'm a bit younger than him, but family's well known. His father was a very good photographer and had a studio for many years that was a staple of the community. Being from there and growing up there, I can tell what is true. Hoosiers care very much about high school basketball. This is not a generalization it Was and to a lesser Is a religion. Since they introduced Class systems to sports there by population, the State Tournament has lost some of it's luster. But the period of the movies setting, when the film was made, and when I went to High School, it was a free-for-all. Just getting out of Sectional, for a small school was a Huge deal. This movie is the most realistic basketball non-documemtary film I have ever seen. It's depiction of Indiana small community life is absolutely on point. We Hoosiers Cherish this movie with a sense of place and Pride probably matched by no other. Thanks for the reveiw, and folks, if want want to see a movie about Indiana as real as sugar cream pie, this is it. Small caveat, one of the player actors was one of my good friend's brother, and one of the refs his father and my Junior High Basketball coach, and a great example for us players. Had a major positive influence on my life, and I'll never forget him. Please, enjoy this film.
I remember watching this movie in one of my classes in high school (can't remember which subject it was for, honestly). But the teacher for some reason never finished it. You are convincing me to finally do it. :D
This movie is soooo good! I bought the DVD back in 2004 when I was in the army and barely in my 20's. It moved me as much then as it does now, and the special features section contained lots of cool interviews with my favorite being the director explaining just how goddamn hard that final, winning shot was to film. The kid couldn't make it for shit, he missed over and over and over. and Gene Hackman was sending his assistant over to suggest moving closer to the basket. The director felt it was a bad idea and that it would any remaining confidence the young actor had left at that point. So boom, the kid finally makes it, and the director had zoned out a bit and forgot to actually ensure everyone knew what to do if the kid did, in fact, actually make the shot! Fortunately, everyone did what was needed and what we see in the movie is everyone basically genuinely reacting when they rush the kid to life him up in celebration. I mean, you couldn't ask for things to play out any more heartwarming than this!
Watching it now for about the 5th time. Inspiring and full of ❤️. Some good movies with the same theme followed over the years, but this one stands out. Hackman, the boys and especially Hopper were outstanding. A+
For years my grandpa was Dennis Hopper’s right hand man. In fact, my dad’s godfather is Dennis. I was able to meet him a few times when I was too young to remember, but every once in a while I’ll sit down with my grandpa and watch some of Dennis’s best movies. Easy rider, blue velvet, Hoosiers, true romance. My grandpa, a filmmaker himself, made a documentary about his time with Dennis called “Along for the Ride.” That documentary cemented Dennis as a key figure of my family. I would give anything to meet Dennis again just for a day.
@@NeverSaySandwich1 I mostly agree, but I do see some potential in season 2. They still have time to turn it around and I’m willing to give them one chance
Can you review: -News of the world with Tom Hanks -The little things with Rami malek, Denzel Washington & Jared Leto -Willy’s Wonderland with Nicolas Cage
@@WhirlingMusic The movie liners say he stars in the movie. Without spoilers, you're saying he's not in the movie even though it says he's the main star?
I've never seen the movie, I remember people talking about it, but I thought yeah" Gean Hackman Superman...Yawn, but you give it an A which is something you do very rarely and now I will go give it a watch, Thank you, Chris.👍
Chris: "Every time I watch the film, I am on the verge of tears for almost the entire runtime..." Me: cries at Pixar movies, E.T., Remember The Titans, etc. Also me: "Honey, I have a new movie for us to watch..." Seriously, even though I'm an 80s kid, I never got around to seeing this movie. Hearing you say it's this moving is a huge recommendation, I'll make sure to check this one off this week.
@@c.h.y - just watched it tonight! It was a good movie, worth my time. It didn't make me cry. ;) It was very much an 80s movie, and it felt "dated", but if I had seen it at the time it probably would have seemed totally normal so I don't mean that in a bad way. I can easily see how someone who saw it in their childhood or teenage years would identify heavily with it. The soundtrack was surprisingly "synth-y" for a Goldsmith score. Gene Hackman is one of my all-time favorite actors so it was a treat to watch something "new" from him. The sports footage, especially in the finale, was impressive. I agree with Chris about the romance; I wish instead it had spent a little more time getting to know the players. I love how in Remember The Titans you really get to know the players in lots of little ways, and I didn't find that here. But, this was clearly Hackman's movie, he carries it on his back, whereas RTT is more ensemble-based, and I was invested in the characters from start to finish. Nice work from Dennis Hopper. Thumbs up!
I'm so glad you reviewed this Chris, I love this movie! I would give this a A- only because they use the same 15 shots over and over again for the basketball action. As a basketball fan this drove me nuts, I also wished they could have used actors who actually knew how to play basketball. On a minor note looking at this with 2021 glasses, it funny that at the end, the enter white Hoosiers team had to beat the all black starting line-up to win the state championship!
This is my favorite basketball movie of all time, I first saw this when I was living in China in the late 80's, kinda odd given that I'm a Maori, Polynesian minority from New Zealand, anyway I was connected to the stories and characters, I watched this all the time until the VHS tape wore out
..gene is a great actor.. the french connection, superman ,narrow margin, unfrogiven, the firm, crimson tide, extreme measures, absolute power, antz, heist
I live near where the high school gym scenes were filmed. My dad volunteers there on Saturdays and has helped with events where they have showings of the movie.
a great review as always, Chris. still thinking of your video a month ago about you leaving the Jehovah Witnesses, and hoping your doing good and that your having a great day. Been on your channel for a while , and all the stuff you make is really awesome. Can't wait to see the next review- cheers and a good day to you!
I've been studying Jerry Goldsmiths work on Alien recently for a project and... Jerry Goldsmith is really legit. Like really, his name deserves to be as known as Williams or Zimmer or Morricone, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around some of his chords and progressions. A master.
Hey wonderful review. Question what are your thoughts on the alternative daily wire movie production movement and will you be reviewing the movie run hide fight and the new one with Gina coming soon?
I was waiting for this one. I know it's not sports but I'd love to see you review Mr.Holland's Opus as it fits right in here and I immediately thought of it. Keep up the great work.
The blossoming romance in this movie reminds me the one in The Great Outdoors with John Candy's son going after the southern local just for two nights before going back home. John Hughes was a legend regardless.
In the U.K., It was called Best Shot in the eighties. Never understood why I never rented it. I worked in a video store, loved Gene Hackman films and anything with Jerry Goldsmith scores but the basketball side must have put me off. I may have to finally give it a Mooch!
I've been clean and sober for just over eight years and this is one of the top five show/movies. I recommend to my friends trying to get clean and sober. This is Dennis Hopper's top movie in my opinion after Super Mario Brothers of course LOL JK
My favorite scene was when the coach noticed how the team was in withering awe of the massive state championship stadium, and he reduced it to the fundamentals by having them measure the height of the hoop...the exact same height of the hoop in their home gym...and that was all that mattered.
I’m from Indiana, and when I was a young lad, my grandfather took me to see this in the theater. It was packed, and we had to sit in the front row and ... it was incredible. Good times.
We should all appreciate the hell out of Gene Hackman while he's still alive.
Don’t make me cry yet

Worked with David Anspaugh on a production of Spring Awakening in 2018! A great director of screen and stage 🙌🏼
Literally didn’t know Chris liked hoops this much, loving the basketball focus recently.
As you mentioned, this is a movie with a lot of heart. I’m a millennial who doesn’t particularly care about sports, but this is still one of my favorites.

Because many of my friends were in this movie, I was invited to attend the first ever showing of the movie in it's finished cut. The official premier was later that evening. Thirty seconds in I turned to one of my friends (Dave Casey, second from the left at 2:24) and said, "I like this already." I spent most of my life in Indiana, was in attendance at the State Finals in Hinkle Fieldhouse, the building use to shoot the State Final scene, when my high school played for the championship in 1967 (we lost the final game), and covered many basketball high school basketball games as a sports writer and photographer, and many state finals as the photographer for the state high school athletic association for 20 years. While some aspects of the tournament were not included in this story, the feel of high school basketball in Indiana, and how the game was played back then, is spot on. It took about eight years to get my second wife to agree to watch this movie with me. After that, every year she insisted we watch it again. I have the two DVD collectors edition of this, which includes deleted scenes. There were some scenes deleted to reduce running time from just under three hours, that really do help the tell the full story, particularly more about the Barbara Hershey part and what became of her character.
To this day, Hoosiers is still one of my favorite movies of all time
Agree
I really love this movie. I like to think that the discussion regarding the final play in the movie was the writer's internal monologue trying to decide who should make the final shot.
What I appreciated about viewing Hoosiers for the first time was how predictable the films is yet how much it draws you into the story. Even though you know what the outcome will be in the climax of the film, you are still surprised and cheering along with Dennis Hopper in full extasy. I've list count of how many times I've watched this film.
I didn't know Lex Luthor was a basketball coach, I need to check this out!
Gene Hackman was a coach in this dude
Tony Stark I understood that reference
and the best lex luthor ! ..gene is a great actor.. the french connection, superman ,narrow margin, unfrogiven, the firm, crimson tide, extreme measures, absolute power, antz, heist..
Despite its success and nods, this IMO has gone off the radar for some years and its due to its formulaic story, but IMO this film has heart and soul. the score, Hackman’s and Hopper’s performances and then comes the last shot of the film, OMG... I was in tears. The heart and soul of films of this period has all but evaporated.
Cannit wait for your review of Raging Bull
My central Indiana high school was called off for three days so we could all go be extras in Hoosiers. I got to run on the court after Ollie sinks the underhand free throws. It's a ridiculously sentimental movie, but it's the only one I'm in, so I'm thinking it's pretty much a masterpiece.
From "The Last Dance" to "Hoosiers" in a short amount of time. Great basketball centered choices, Chris!
No pun intended, right?
Chris, grew up in the Director's hometown. I'm a bit younger than him, but family's well known. His father was a very good photographer and had a studio for many years that was a staple of the community. Being from there and growing up there, I can tell what is true. Hoosiers care very much about high school basketball. This is not a generalization it Was and to a lesser Is a religion.
Since they introduced Class systems to sports there by population, the State Tournament has lost some of it's luster. But the period of the movies setting, when the film was made, and when I went to High School, it was a free-for-all. Just getting out of Sectional, for a small school was a Huge deal. This movie is the most realistic basketball non-documemtary film I have ever seen. It's depiction of Indiana small community life is absolutely on point. We Hoosiers Cherish this movie with a sense of place and Pride probably matched by no other. Thanks for the reveiw, and folks, if want want to see a movie about Indiana as real as sugar cream pie, this is it. Small caveat, one of the player actors was one of my good friend's brother, and one of the refs his father and my Junior High Basketball coach, and a great example for us players. Had a major positive influence on my life, and I'll never forget him. Please, enjoy this film.
I remember watching this movie in one of my classes in high school (can't remember which subject it was for, honestly). But the teacher for some reason never finished it.
You are convincing me to finally do it. :D
I'm curious if Chris will cover Rocky and/or Raging Bull at some point.
Raging Bull to me is the best sports movie ever specifically because it’s not a sports movie in the strictest sense.
God be my witness I was only just yesterday thinking about this movie quite randomly. Love your reviews Chris, keep it up.
"It's God and Basketball" as someone from Indy, I can attest that is very true.
Another Perfect Spot on Review! "Hoosiers" is a Classic and the musical score is Movie Perfection!
This movie is soooo good! I bought the DVD back in 2004 when I was in the army and barely in my 20's. It moved me as much then as it does now, and the special features section contained lots of cool interviews with my favorite being the director explaining just how goddamn hard that final, winning shot was to film. The kid couldn't make it for shit, he missed over and over and over. and Gene Hackman was sending his assistant over to suggest moving closer to the basket. The director felt it was a bad idea and that it would any remaining confidence the young actor had left at that point. So boom, the kid finally makes it, and the director had zoned out a bit and forgot to actually ensure everyone knew what to do if the kid did, in fact, actually make the shot! Fortunately, everyone did what was needed and what we see in the movie is everyone basically genuinely reacting when they rush the kid to life him up in celebration. I mean, you couldn't ask for things to play out any more heartwarming than this!
Fan of Stuckmann's work from Dourados, Brazil.
You should review Color of Pomegranates. It's a masterpiece of cinema.
Gene Hackman what a career. The rare actor that flips from leading man to character actor.
Watching it now for about the 5th time. Inspiring and full of ❤️. Some good movies with the same theme followed over the years, but this one stands out. Hackman, the boys and especially Hopper were outstanding. A+
For years my grandpa was Dennis Hopper’s right hand man. In fact, my dad’s godfather is Dennis. I was able to meet him a few times when I was too young to remember, but every once in a while I’ll sit down with my grandpa and watch some of Dennis’s best movies. Easy rider, blue velvet, Hoosiers, true romance. My grandpa, a filmmaker himself, made a documentary about his time with Dennis called “Along for the Ride.” That documentary cemented Dennis as a key figure of my family. I would give anything to meet Dennis again just for a day.
Can you review “Raised by Wolves”, the sci fi tv show that came out last fall? PLEASE I need to hear your critique on it
It started off so strong, but man the last episodes were garbage and ruined my interest for season 2
@@NeverSaySandwich1
I mostly agree, but I do see some potential in season 2. They still have time to turn it around and I’m willing to give them one chance
@@theRedneckqueenofTacticoolness The reveal that she was pregnant with a flying snake was 🤦
@@NeverSaySandwich1 Thanks for saving me half a day.
@@deathsdoor07 I recommend you watch The Leftovers instead
yeah! I thought I was one of the few people who rated it on IMDB. So go give it a 10 everyone, this film needs our help
*Fun fact: You’re first until you refresh.*
Unless you're actually first. I am.
I love that Chris will review nearly anything. I completely forgot I saw this one years ago until I saw the upload
Can you review:
-News of the world with Tom Hanks
-The little things with Rami malek, Denzel Washington & Jared Leto
-Willy’s Wonderland with Nicolas Cage
Strange how he hasn’t reviewed these already. Probably busy with other things.
Most interested in Willy's Wonderland. Any crazy Nic Cage flick is a must. Little Things was a borefets.
@@manuelper
Nic Cage wasnt even in the movie. He doesn't even talk so yea. Could be played by your uncle. Wouldn't change the movie
@@WhirlingMusic The movie liners say he stars in the movie. Without spoilers, you're saying he's not in the movie even though it says he's the main star?
@@manuelper
Yeah take it literal why don't you
I would be interested to see you review “Friday Night Lights” great football movie.
Thanks Chris I just watched this one because of your review! Glad you are reviewing more sports films like you said you wanted to do.
Chris Stuckmann is a blessing.
I wanna hear you talk about I'm Thinking of Ending Things!
I've never seen the movie, I remember people talking about it, but I thought yeah" Gean Hackman Superman...Yawn, but you give it an A which is something you do very rarely and now I will go give it a watch, Thank you, Chris.👍
So glad to hear you give some love to Remember the Titans. The number of people I hear dump on that movie blows my mind.
Chris: "Every time I watch the film, I am on the verge of tears for almost the entire runtime..."
Me: cries at Pixar movies, E.T., Remember The Titans, etc.
Also me: "Honey, I have a new movie for us to watch..."
Seriously, even though I'm an 80s kid, I never got around to seeing this movie. Hearing you say it's this moving is a huge recommendation, I'll make sure to check this one off this week.
Let us know your thoughts :)
@@c.h.y - just watched it tonight! It was a good movie, worth my time. It didn't make me cry. ;) It was very much an 80s movie, and it felt "dated", but if I had seen it at the time it probably would have seemed totally normal so I don't mean that in a bad way. I can easily see how someone who saw it in their childhood or teenage years would identify heavily with it. The soundtrack was surprisingly "synth-y" for a Goldsmith score. Gene Hackman is one of my all-time favorite actors so it was a treat to watch something "new" from him. The sports footage, especially in the finale, was impressive. I agree with Chris about the romance; I wish instead it had spent a little more time getting to know the players. I love how in Remember The Titans you really get to know the players in lots of little ways, and I didn't find that here. But, this was clearly Hackman's movie, he carries it on his back, whereas RTT is more ensemble-based, and I was invested in the characters from start to finish. Nice work from Dennis Hopper. Thumbs up!
I'm so glad you reviewed this Chris, I love this movie! I would give this a A- only because they use the same 15 shots over and over again for the basketball action. As a basketball fan this drove me nuts, I also wished they could have used actors who actually knew how to play basketball. On a minor note looking at this with 2021 glasses, it funny that at the end, the enter white Hoosiers team had to beat the all black starting line-up to win the state championship!
This is my favorite basketball movie of all time, I first saw this when I was living in China in the late 80's, kinda odd given that I'm a Maori, Polynesian minority from New Zealand, anyway I was connected to the stories and characters, I watched this all the time until the VHS tape wore out
Gene Hackman hated Wes Anderson too. I think the guy is a good actor who doesn't always see what the director sees.
I hate Wes Anderson's movies...don't know if I would hate the guy or not, though.
..gene is a great actor.. the french connection, superman ,narrow margin, unfrogiven, the firm, crimson tide, extreme measures, absolute power, antz, heist
This is one of my favorites from when I was a teen. I’ll have to watch it with my hubby and son this weekend. Thanks!
Hey Chris, I would love to hear a full review on Nomadland. It just got released digitally.
I live near where the high school gym scenes were filmed. My dad volunteers there on Saturdays and has helped with events where they have showings of the movie.
I would like Chris to review Cool Running
Are you gonna review Judas and the Black Messiah 👀

One of my all time favs. Miss Jerry too. That solo horn at the beginning of First Blood makes me cry every time.
You know it's gonna be a positive review when Chris starts speaking fast.
a great review as always, Chris.
still thinking of your video a month ago about you leaving the Jehovah Witnesses, and hoping your doing good and that your having a great day. Been on your channel for a while , and all the stuff you make is really awesome. Can't wait to see the next review- cheers and a good day to you!
Thank you Mr. Stockman Rudy’s one of my favourite sports movies of all time did not know that Hoosiers was directed by and written by the same people
Chris, my man, when are you going to review The Sandlot? Hands down the greatest baseball movie ever.
Hoosiers and Rudy are two films that made me cry so much. Such good films
He should review Rudy, Remember the Titans and Miracle!
I've been studying Jerry Goldsmiths work on Alien recently for a project and... Jerry Goldsmith is really legit. Like really, his name deserves to be as known as Williams or Zimmer or Morricone, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around some of his chords and progressions. A master.
"This is just me being Nitpicky" Finally a reviewer who can admit it!
Love the vid as usual, U da best .
Yo chris you been busy for a while?
Classic! Grew up watching Hoosiers all the time. Love this movie.
Hey wonderful review. Question what are your thoughts on the alternative daily wire movie production movement and will you be reviewing the movie run hide fight and the new one with Gina coming soon?
Dennis Hopper is one of my favorite actors of all time.
The movie review nobody wanted, even in 1986. Thanks Chris.
I was waiting for this one. I know it's not sports but I'd love to see you review Mr.Holland's Opus as it fits right in here and I immediately thought of it. Keep up the great work.
The blossoming romance in this movie reminds me the one in The Great Outdoors with John Candy's son going after the southern local just for two nights before going back home. John Hughes was a legend regardless.
Thanks for all the reviews! Love them. Have you not reviewed the Fargo seasons??
In the U.K., It was called Best Shot in the eighties.
Never understood why I never rented it.
I worked in a video store, loved Gene Hackman films and anything with Jerry Goldsmith scores but the basketball side must have put me off.
I may have to finally give it a Mooch!
I've been clean and sober for just over eight years and this is one of the top five show/movies. I recommend to my friends trying to get clean and sober. This is Dennis Hopper's top movie in my opinion after Super Mario Brothers of course LOL JK
Since we’re doing older movies, would you be able to (in the near future) do a review on Metropolis?
