Indiana's movie is...

Hoosiers


When Coach Norman Dale (Gene Hackman) quips, “Welcome to Indiana basketball” in 1986’s Hoosiers, he might as well have left off the almost redundant “basketball.” Of a state that’s known for its feverish sports fandom, the Massachusetts inventor of basketball himself, James Naismith, was once quoted as stating that “basketball really had its origin in Indiana,” and indeed the sport has become inseparable from the identity of the state. So, naturally, we had to pick the inspirational and iconic David Anspaugh (who also directed the similarly themed Notre Dame football flick Rudy) film about a small-town high school hoops coach who transforms his ragtag team into unlikely state champions. Inspired by true events, the film was shot on location in various places throughout the state, capturing the intensity of “Hoosier Hysteria” and highlighting the region’s natural beauty during the Fall and Winter seasons.
