    I loved Baseketball.

    First of all; Viktoria Silvestedt (Playmate of the Year)

    Second and third of all; The Bob Costas and Al Michaels appearances were hilarious.

    Hear, hear. The trailer hitch scene never fails to crack me up.

    No love for The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh?
     
  3. The book Basketball Diaries and the song People Who Died were written by the same guy. Not sure if you knew that.

    For some reason, I remember it used to air on Channel 53 (Pittsburgh reference) on Christmas Eve/Early Christmas Morning.

    Tons of love from me.

    Sorry Chef. I recall someone telling me that BASEketball was "one of the funniest movies you'll ever see."

    I chuckled a couple times. I liken BASEketball to "Saving Silverman."

    Yeah. I did. Jim Carroll/Jim Carroll Band... Autobiographical...
     
  9. Except Saving Silverman has funny moments.

    Space Jam at seven? Wow. I thought it's at least a Top-5 selection.

    Agree that Glory Road and One on One should be on the list.

    But no love for Eddie, Rebound, or Juwanna Mann?

    What about The Sixth Man? That movie was inspiring.

    And I love BASEketball. I think it's hilarious.
