Hoop Dreams

A really neat documentary. Especially since I was going to Marquette at the same time part of this movie was filmed. . I thought it was a very real portrayal of an interesting subculture – which is what many good documentaries are. I remember that people thought this got snubbed at the Oscars. I have to ask, how many people actually saw the movie that won? Sure Hoop Dreams was good, but how do you know it was “the best” unless you’ve seen all the competition? It’s simply a documentary that many people saw. There are a lot of decent documentaries out there.
