I've found many,many questionable choices on Gene & Roger's Top Ten Lists dating back to 1969. While I'm in agreement about 70% of the time, they have on occasion ( both) picked some real stinkers IMHO. I agree with your thoughts on " Hoop Dreams" as well.Good , but not great.I think a lot of their( Gene& Roger's)enthusiasm for this movie was due to the fact that it dealt with two high school stars from the Chicago area.Add two Chicago movie critics and bingo....you've got the year's best movie.
