Hoosiers
In 1986, David Anspaugh's Oscar-nominated "Hoosiers" played all the clichés of the classic underdog sports movie: the unorthodox coach (Gene Hackman), his brilliant but drunken assistant (Dennis Hopper), the teacher (Barbara Hershey) trying to stop the best player from going out for the team, the doubting players who conquered their fears. Inspired by a true story, "Hoosiers" had a predictable outcome, but nevertheless I was a kid mesmerized and inspired by their victory. And I'm sure I wasn't the only one who cried.
