Hoosiers (1986)

 Yep I'd never seen 'Hoosiers'. Inspiring sports movie by the guy who would go on to make 'Rudy'. It's the early 1950's and unconventional high school basketball coach Gene Hackman arrives in small town Indiana, at first he rubs most everyone the wrong way but in time wins them over and takes his little team to the state championships. Considerd a classic of the genra, I can see how it would really resonate with some people; I liked it fine but I'm not who this movie was made for. Recently out of rehab Dennis Hooper plays a character who ends up in rehab. Based loosely on a true story. ***
