HCP Holiday Tournament

I just finished watching Glory Road and it is an awesome movie. I recommend it to all. So even though we are bogged down with sports, work and the holidays, I thought I would share my favorite eight basketball movies ever:
1) Hoosiers
2) Glory Road
3) Finding Forrester
4) Blue Chips
5) Hoop Dreams
6) Teen Wolf
7) Pistol: The Story of a Legend
8) White Men Can't Jump
But you know, me I couldn't leave it at that, so let's consider this the HCP Holiday Tournament to determine the best basketball movie ever. Perhaps in other seasons we will do other season specific contests (like best football movie during NFL Playoffs).
So here are the round one match-ups:
Hoosiers vs. White Men Can't Jump
Blue Chips vs. Hoop Dreams
Glory Road vs. Pistol: The Story of a Legend
Finding Forrester vs. Teen Wolf

Chris,

My first round picks:

Hoosiers run the clock vs. White Men Can't Jump, Hoop Dreams over Blue Chips, Pistol in o.t. over Glory Road and Finding Forrester in a rout over Teen Wolf.
