The Joy in HOOP DREAMS

William Gates was supposed to be the star, and I guess he was, but every time I've watched it over the years I've fallen in love a little bit more with Arthur; watching how his face is lit up playing his (and everybody else's in that gym) hero Isiah Thomas is the happiest I've been for another human being since Casey Affleck doing that triumphant lap around the car to the passenger seat at the end of Good Will Hunting and when that guy in Love Actually stumbling into a total sex party with the three absurdly hottest women in Milwaukee. Just a really beautiful moment I'm grateful was caught forever on film.
