Terrific Film. However.... A compelling feature film COULD have been made that hewed entirely to the facts of Milan High School's historic state championship.

A memorable film with Gene Hackman. A great story of a school basketball team. Color image quality is excellent. The option of audio to other languages is an added value to this DVD. I am satisfied with this purchase. The seller has been quick and efficient.

For a long time basketball has been "the" sport in Indiana. The movie Hoosiers tells the story of a small Indiana town that despite being small it overcomes adversity to beat a goliath team. Not only that, but the scenery and subjects are true-to-life. Being from Indiana I love the opening scene filmed in the fall at harvest time - it is iconic. A great film to take in on a cool fall afternoon.

The extras are great. The included cut scenes answer questions like - how did Buddy get back on the team - and how did Coach Dale and Myra Fleener appear to "suddenly" get to the point of sharing a kiss. The only thing I wish was included was a director's cut - where all the cut scenes are incorporated back into the movie - instead of just viewing the standalone cut scenes.

Excellent movie for anyone who loves basketball, Indiana, or Cinderella stories. The acting is excellent and it is a great story of a time in Indiana when the high school state championship was not divided into classes. This is the story of a very small school taking on a huge school. Great story.
