Great movie. Also, overlooked is Fast Break with Gabe Caplin and a YOUNG Lawrence Fishburne.
One on One with Bobby Benson (All the way with a red hot poker)
Amazing Grace and Chuck. Sort of political but hey Alex English!
Hoop Dreams. B/c as I have stated before my alma mater gets a BRIEF cameo!
White Men Can't Jump - Well because I cant!

OK - it's not a basketball movie, but "The Temp" was shot here in Portland (1993) and in the movie, there was a school basketball game. What's the connection? My brother-in-law, Jim, was a P.E. teacher at the school where the game was shot and he played a referee in the movie as an extra. He didn't receive any screen credit, however. Oh yeah, he called an over-the back and a couple of reaches.

"The Basketball Diaries". Very dark and depressing, but an excellent movie. One of maybe 3-4 movies that I thought Leonardo DiCaprio was actually good in.

Even the Movie Title is Officiating-Oriented
Stripes, which featured the scene of that eager, budding pre-military candidate shooting hoops against the wall in his apartment right before he throws the ball out the window and the guy on the street throws it back inside through the other window.
And don't ever call me Frances.

Inside Moves.
David Morse runs a bar after knee injury, beats Perry Sylvester (also of FastBreak) in pick-up game, gets chance to play for Warriors.
John Savage is in it too. Barry Levinson directed.
