03.26.05Netflix Maybe it's because this is my first time seeing this, but I am not getting the whole greatest-sports-film-ever-made thing. A bunch of rednecks are sooo good that they even beat some (gasp!) BLACK KIDS!!! I dunno, I kept wanting Hackman to say more that one line over and over again... like coaching a team is as easy as saying "stay in the game" and making them run back and forth a lot. Maybe this is a case where all the now-cliche things sprang from this film, which when it was released was all fresh and new. Guess I missed my chance to be wow'd by this.
