Again, if you look at, there's a list of basketball movies on Wikipedia.

The only one that I would recognize before this was The Absent-Minded Professor.
Timothy DealHOST
Oh, wow.
Nick HaydenHOST
Okay.
Brian KuiperGUEST
This would have been nominated in the best black and white cinematography category because they split them into two separate categories at the time, black and white and color.
Brian KuiperGUEST
So this movie would have been up against The Hustler, The Absent-Minded Professor, which I think we can probably kick out.
Brian KuiperGUEST
for this movie.
Brian KuiperGUEST
The Children's Hour, Judgment at Nuremberg, and One, Two, Three, which is a film I am not familiar with, but I have chosen Freddie Francis shooting The Innocents from 1961, which to me is probably maybe the most beautiful black and white film ever made.
Lucia WilsonHOST

It was also the biggest hit of the year, but it was also a very good year for Walt Disney, who had three of the top ten hits of the year, with the Parent Trap 101 nominations and The Absent-Minded Professor.
DennisHOST
Wow.
DennisHOST
All of which actually had hit remakes in the 1990s.

You know what? The thing about this is that it's not a good movie.

No, it can't be, right? Like, there's no way it is.

October 19th, 1989, Epcot expanded its future world offerings with the grand opening of the Wonders of Life Pavilion.
Nick GarciaHOST
Sponsored by MetLife, the Golden Dome Pavilion introduced the classic and stinked attractions like Body Wars and Cranium Command.
Nick GarciaHOST
And that is what I have for this week in Disney history.
JoniHOST
I like that segment.
LizHOST
1.5 speed.

Alright, so the top five films of 1961 are number five, The Absent-Minded Professor, number four, The Parent Trap, number three, El Cid, number two, The Guns of Navarone, and the number one film of 1961 was West Side Story.
ErinHOST
Best Picture Oscars? Judgment at Nuremberg? The Hustler? The Guns of Navarone, Fanny, and West Side Story.
ErinHOST
We have done a bunch of films that came out in 1961.
