Hoop Dreams

“Hoop Dreams, another great documentary, one of the great documentaries of all time about one of the great sports. Basketball is more important to me than most things in my life and I think what this film does so purely is it gets in touch with our collective human longing to make something meaningful out of this life. It's a film about our essential needs as human beings to be a part of something bigger than ourselves, to try to follow the image of a dream.”

“Hoop Dreams. This is a hell of a picture.”

“Hoop Dreams. I’m given to superlatives, but I think it’s the best sports movie ever made. I think it’s the best movie of the ’90s. I think it’s the best Chicago movie. Can’t lose with Hoop Dreams.”
