Title: A Hoosier speaks on HOOSIERS...
Review: I remember watching HOOSIERS in an Indiana movie theater on its first day of release. As a high school student athlete, I played ball in some of the gyms that were used during the filming. So it is a little hard for me to be objective.The VHS copy of Hoosiers I bought several years is ago was always fun to watch, but until I saw the widescreen DVD, I'd forgotten what a beautiful film it really is. The movie is loosely based on, or inspired by, a team from tiny Milan (MY'-LUN) that won the Indiana state championship in 1954. In fact, one of the players from that '54 team has a minor role in the movie.With an Oscar-nominated performance by Dennis Hopper as "Shooter", HOOSIERS may be what basketball fans, even those not from Indiana, will enjoy watching as much as I do.
