Summary: one of the two best sports movies i have seen!
Review: a great basketball "docudrama"! this is a story that many basketball enthusiasts outside of new york city may not have heard, but the comparisons to nyc's great players of the time give the story context and validity.

for basketball fans and everyone else, it's an eyeopener to how a few wrong moves can bring down even the most talented individual. i was completely enthralled in every scene and reccommend this movie to anyone who is interested in basketball or sports in general.

Summary: one of the best !
Review: After watching almost every basketball movie ever released i would have to say that this is one of the best. The combination of beleivable and realistic basketball scenes combined with such a heart-breaking and moving story line really draws you in. It is perhaps the best film at portraying how such magical talent can fall to the pressures of conruption on the street.

Summary: best basketball history video
Review: before i watched this dvd i didn't know who the goat was but i will never forget after. this movie shows the rucker league back int 60s, and how it got started. but most importantly it teaches you about earl the goat. hands down the best player to ever play the game of streetball, he might have been the best to ever play the organized game, but this movie just shows u to never take things for granted and never let opportunities pass by, and please never do drugs. BEST b-ball movie ever made!!! HANDS DOWN. u need to see it

Summary: Inspiring
Review: Earl Manigault was perhaps the best basketball player never to make it into your living room. He used his talent to dominate the famous Rucker Park league in New York City. Sadly, every time he found himself on top, another challenge and temptation awaited him. Will he choose to live as a has been, or save the playground where he became a New York legend?

Summary: "Goat is great"
Review: Great story about a boy who just loved basketball so much and tried to find his dream to be the best that he could be. A well written story about a true character and many other true characters of basketball history today. A great written life story of the "Goat" and the obsticles that he had to face within his life. Can never go wrong with this movie...

Summary: Remember the first time it was shown on HBO
Review: I remember when HBO debuted this movie, I was looking forward to it for a month. I remember I would watch this movie over and over again everytime they showed it, I was only 12 years old, and I would always turn away when during the heroine scenes (the dude with no hands), I still do that in movies today... I hate seeing needles... Anywho, this movie was good, a good sports movie, and it was the first time I ever saw Don Cheadle in a movie, he's cool

Summary: Excellent movie!
Review: The Cheadle brothers teamed up to play the role of the young and adult Earl Manigault. Supporting actors (Don cheadle, James Earl Jones, Michael Beach, Clarence Williams III, Glen Turman, Forest Whitaker, Kevin Garnett, the producer himself Eriq La Salle, and many others) were great as well. I'm a fan of 'believable' movies and this one really pulls you in. Eriq La Salle struck gold on this one and played a heck of a role himself! This movie will leave you with a sobering outlook on how fragile and valuable life truly is. I like it so much that I have it on VHS and I just orded it on DVD. It's a must have!

Summary: The Best Basketball Movie
Review: This movie lives up to the hype of Earl Manigault and his legendary ability! Don Cheadle does an excellent job portraying "The Goat" and the supporting cast were excellent. It is the best basketball movie I have ever seen because it is the greatest basketball story ever told! He got Game, Above the Rim were entertaining, however this movie is real as it is based on the facts of a man's life. The movie shows the good and bad times, and does not make a commercial, happy ending to please the viewers. Most movies don't follow a story truthfully, usually changing certain parts to please the audience - not this one!!

Summary: "The Goat"
Review: This movie realy, it showed life as earl manigault very well. It explained life in Harlem, and what it was like as a boy living their. It showed an epic battle between the basketball star and drugs. I rate it a 5 star movie because i am a real true basketball player and fan. This movie realy inspired me to work hard and not get caught up in that drug mess----------peace
