Hoop Dreams Criterion Style

I really hadn't planned on make a top 10 list. The original plan was to write something to alert and inspire people to go out and buy "Hoop Dreams", which has finally been released on DVD after years of being unavailable for no reason. "Hoop Dreams" is one of the great documentaries of all time, and now it has been released by The Criterion Collection (For those not in the know, Criterion put out great DVD's of under-appreciated films). For those of you who have not seem "Hoop Dreams" seek it out, it is worth it. For those of you who love film and do not know about The Criterion Collection, seek that out too. This is pretty much what I was planning to write, but it just didn't seem like enough for an entire post, so you get the top 10 list as a special bonus at no aditional price.
