1) Hoosers
2) Semi-Pro

6) The Absent-Minded Professor
7) Baseketball
8) Coach Carter
9) White men Can't Jump
10) The Harlem Globetrotters On Gilligan’s Island

Nice list wdleehi.  If we're going with Globetrotter appearances I'd have to put their visits to Scooby Doo ahead of Gilligans.  The Futurama Globetrotters episode is one of the funniest things I've seen too.

White Men Can't Jump definitely belongs on a legit list - forgot about that one.

"Eddie"


and "Forget Paris"


... end of discussion



Honourable mention:



These movies... along with the aforementioned "Juwana Man" (also known as "The Life and Times of Brittney Griner") are films that transcend the medium, imho.

Because that one was an actual movie.  (Made for TV)




I do love the sleepy Globetrotters almost losing the game in Scooby Doo.

Yeh, I forced myself to watch that one recently. People need to stop going to  Wil Ferrell movies so he'll start learning some new tricks.

Air Bud is a classic Jeff, too bad they made like 8 more after the first.
