'''''Hoosiers''''' is a 1986 film about Indiana high school basketball. [[Gene Hackman]] stars as Norman Dale, a former big-time college basketball coach who comes to tiny Hickory, Indiana to coach Hickory High's very tiny basketball team. Hackman must overcome his own troubled past, win over the skeptical Hickory townsfolk, and get his players to believe in themselves. In his spare time he romances Barbara Hershey.
''Hoosiers'' was added to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2001.

* [[The Alcoholic]]: Shooter (played by [[Dennis Hopper]]).
* [[Ate His Gun]]: Narrowly averted off-screen. After Shooter fell off the proverbial wagon ''hard'' one night, during which time he'd humiliated Coach Dale and the entire Hickory team during an important game of theirs, he was later found by Coach Dale and his son, unconscious in a field somewhere with his rifle, having apparently passed out before he could use it on himself. They take him to the hospital to dry out, where he recovers, earning his son's respect for the first time in the process.
