Sports movies are capable of making even those who don’t like movies watch them; because it draws them into a world they know. The wonderful world of basketball has been reproduced on screen, numerous times, but what are the ten best basketball films,
10. ‘Space Jam’
OK, it’s not the best movie ever made, but it is a lot of fun and something the whole family can watch and enjoy.
9. ‘Like Mike’
Again, a goofy family film, but it is the secret dream of most children and we can all relate to that.
8. ‘Love and Basketball’
A unique view of two basketball teams, a male team and a female team. The story involves the romance between two members and how it affects their game.
7. ‘He Got Game’
We get to learn that Denzel Washington, while a great actor, is not a basketball player. However, real NBA player Ray Allen’s performance, on and off the court, is worth watching.
6. ‘The Air Up There’
The first real example of how sports culture moves from one country to another and picks up popularity.
5. ‘Above The Rim’
While the storyline is overdone, high school student with big dreams, the basketball scenes are fast-paced and exciting to watch.
4. ‘Blue Chips’
The world of college basketball, need I say more,
3. ‘Hoop Dreams’
A documentary that is filled with hard work, sweat, pain, tears and a lot of dreams. A must see movie for all basketball fans.
2. ‘White Men Can’t Jump’
Great pairing of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. Great drama and good basketball scenes.
1. ‘Hoosiers’
Actual basketball strategy, great performances, good story. Watch it. Enough said.
