Starring: Robbie Benson, Annette O'Toole, Janet Hayes
Henry Steele is a high school basketball superstar in his small town, but when he gets a scholarship to play at a big time college things take a turn for the worst. Whether it's that the other players are better than he though they would be, or no one's giving him a chance, Henry is barely surviving. The coach is a nice guy though. He asks Henry to give back his scholarship and get the heck out. Henry of course sticks it out and when the team loses many players to injuries and foul-outs, his number is called. The kid puts on a show scoring, passing and making the winning basket. Now the coach lets him know that no one will bother him about his scholarship. My boy Henry lets the coach know where he can put the scholarship, "All the way up, with a red hot poker."

9. Space Jam (1996)
Starring: Michael Jordan, Wayne Knight, The Looney Toons
The one and only movie on the list with animation. Wow how did I put Space Jame this low? MJ kills it. Bugs, Daffy and the gang are fantastic. And there is a wonderful small role for Bill Murray. So after an evil cartoon decides he needs the Looney Toons to spice up his amusement park, he sends big gooney monsters to kidnap them. Bugs convinces them to play a basketball game to determine their safety. After the monsters take the talent from Barkely, Ewing, LJ, Mugsy and Shawn Bradley, the Toons call upon MJ to help them beat the Mon-Stars.
Favorite Character: Bill Murray
Least Favorite: Mr. Swackhammer
Quotes: "Never trust an earthling," Bill Murray.
"Well I may not be very tall...but I'm slow," Stan Podolak.
