That makes pizza the perfect match for this celebrated documentary, even if you’re not a deep-dish fanatic. Hoop Dreams takes place in Chicago, a city that’s notoriously proud of its deep-dish pizza. It’s garnered critical acclaim, earning not only the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the 1994 Sundance Film Festival, but an Academy Award nomination for its editing. In the end, however, the film grew into a feature-length documentary that chronicles the players’ often rocky pursuit of basketball stardom, highlighting heavy issues that continue to stimulate insightful discussion-race, class, education and more. It’s a modest beginning that reflects the humble origins of its main subjects, William Gates and Arthur Agee, both Black high school basketball stars recruited into a notable (and mostly white) basketball program. Hoop Dreams was originally planned as a 30-minute PBS program. Lunchables Turkey & American Cheese 8.9oz

Teen Wolf is an ’80s movie through and through, so why not compliment it with popular ’80s snacks? Think Cool Ranch Doritos (they dropped in ’86), Bagel Bites (which debuted in ’85) and Lunchables (they hit the shelves in ’89).

Perhaps not what you’d expect to see on a “best of” list, but it’s a singular flick that’s heartwarming enough to warrant your attention. Fox as Scott Howard, an unremarkable high school basketball player on a less-than-stellar team whose life (and basketball career) is turned upside down when he discovers that he’s-you guessed it-a werewolf. It’s an oddball coming-of-age comedy starring Michael J. More than a decade before Space Jam hit the silver screen, Teen Wolf set the standard for ridiculousness within the world of basketball-themed media.

Watching with an adult crowd? Crack open a bottle of Elysian Space Dust IPA to round out the night. Don’t be afraid to add other Little Debbie classics, too-hard to go wrong with Zebra Cakes and Oatmeal Creme Pies. Who better to save the day? Pair With:įor an appropriately celestial treat, stock up on Little Debbie Cosmic Brownies before you dive into this wonky classic. Luckily, one basketball hero still has his skills intact: the recently retired Michael Jordan. The Looney Tunes then challenge Swackhammer’s alien henchmen (the Nerdlucks) to a game of basketball to avoid being whisked into space, only for their otherworldly adversaries to steal the talents of Earth’s finest basketball players.

Swackhammer (an alien theme park owner voiced by Danny DeVito) needs a new attraction for Moron Mountain (his theme park), and he decides the Looney Tunes are the perfect fit. This blockbuster’s plot couldn’t get stranger. For many, Space Jam is just that, which is why we’re mentioning the obvious choice first. Sometimes, the best way to recover from a difficult moment (read: watching your team flop) is by immersing yourself in something that’s familiar and comforting.
