Hoosiers had a really good score by Jerry Goldsmith who also did Rudy.

It’s probably my favorite sports movie of all time

Two of my favorite movies of his are Uncommon Valor and Behind Enemy Lines.

Stil want to know how Buddy got back on the team.

When I first saw it years ago I thought the same thing. Evidently there's a directors cut that ties a lot of loose ends up. I'm going to have to watch that version.

French Connection was one of my dad's favorite movies. I never watched it all the way through until this weekend. Gene Hackman is an all timer, as is Al Pacino.

She was 38. He was 56. I know a lot of couples with that spread.

That was irl, but she seemed younger in the movie. Anyway, they didn't look like a couple. It didn't move the plot. Might as well have gone full 80s and showed her bewbs in the locker room.

Coach should have gone after the mom. She's the one who made the move to invite him over for dinner.

After going 4 on 5 you think Buddy had to beg?

The one kid came back because his dad dragged him back and made him apologize to the coach and ask for his spot back. Was that not Buddy?

That was Whit Butcher.

I'm pretty sure I own this dvd, but I don't remember ever watching these deleted scenes.

At least have of these would have made it an even better movie.

That was awesome. Did you know that the school this movie is based on is only 10 miles west of Cincinnati?

The one thing that bugged me was the whole "no school this small has ever gone this far" vibe. Basketball was only like 20 years old at that point. Maybe 30. It would be like someone saying that about a volleyball team today. I know, trivial. But it always made me think they were stretching it too far.

Has there been any more info on this?
