Favorite All-Time Basketball Movie?

[Guest STL10]

Mine would have to be Space Jam just because it reminds me of my childhood, and it has my favorite player ever Michael Jordan in it.

A close runner-up for me would have to be Blue Chips though.

Mines white men can't jump. Lol. Actually that's like my top 3 movie overall. I know it's lame but I love it.

But seriously...Space Jam and Coach Carter. Hoop Dreams is up there too.

[Guest STL10]

I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for this, but I thought Coach Carter was a terrible movie.

 

I thought it had terrible acting, was a bit too racist, and had too many meaningless scenes.

 

Just my $.02 though...

Space Jam. I probably saw it like over 50 times as a child.

Coach Carter was one of my favorite movie of all time

[htown11]

Good choices from everyone, I have a few.

 

1. Space Jam

 

- MJ and cartoons no better combo, I watched this so many times as a kid, the soundtrack is pretty sick also.

 

2. Hoosiers

 

- Classic story.

 

3. He Got Game

 

- Surprised by Ray Allens performance, Denzel is one of my favorite actors of all time.

 

4. Finding Forrester

 

- Great story, excellent direction and script. Sean Connery and Rob Brown make a great duo in this one.

 

5. The Basketball Diaries

 

- Good acting interesting story.

 

6. Blue Chips

 

- Really aggressive movie, different from the rest because it exposes something that is a very realistic problem, and uses real players to do it.

 

7. White Men Can't Jump

 

- Again great duo, good comedy and some really entertaining street ball.

 

8. The Sixth Man

 

- This movie is hilarious, I watched this a 100 times as a kid. Having a ghost help you win games is not always satisfying.

 

9. Above The Rim

 

- Gritty, Tupac... enough said.

 

10. Like Mike (nice cameos)

 

- Corny as hell, but what kid doesn't dream about playing in the NBA and who doesn't want to be like the greatest? The movie is way to corny but the cameos are cool. So many NBA players makes it worth the watch if you are an NBA fan.

 

11. Celtic Pride

 

- Hilarious movie, if you think you're a die hard fan, trust me these guys push the bill. What would you do to help your team win a championship? Kidnap the other teams best player maybe lol.

 

12. Eddie

 

- Imagine being "honorary coach" for one night, and then acquiring the job permanently.... what puts it over the top is the real players and arenas used again.

Coach Carter, He Got Game and Hurricane Season.
