Title: Earns the Title of Classic
Review: This movie defines the genre. There are no cliches in it; it created the cliches that lesser filmmakers use now when they make sports movies. This movie gets you jumping up off your seat at the end every time you watch it. You want this little David team to beat the big, bad Goliaths so bad you can feel it. This movie is not just about a little team that beats a big one; it works because it humanizes each player on the "little" team, and so we cheer when each one rises to the occasion to overcome his particular short-coming: the shorty, the preacher's son, the son of the drunk, the doubting Thomas. Hooray! Hooray! Let's watch it again!
