9 Reasons Why 'Space Jam' Is the Perfect Film

Space Jam is the brilliant 1996 film where three amazing things merge into one: basketball, Michael Jordan, and Loony Toons. However, there has seemed to be a mix up on how good Space Jam actually is. Lately, there has been controversy surrounding Space Jam wondering if it really is as good of a movie as people remember it to be or if it's just the millennial nostalgia getting to us. People have been making claims that it actually isn't funny. That there's nothing unique or groundbreaking. The acting isn't great. But are those things true? Fortunately, I am here to tell you that Space Jam actually is as great of a movie as everyone remembers. In fact, this movie is actually better than everyone remembers and let me tell you why:

1. Great animation


If there is anything Space Jam is known for, it's the quality animation in tandem with real life humans.

2. Pure comedy genius

Everyone laughs at least three times during the viewing of Space Jam. This is a fact.

3. The dunk to end all dunks

Can you dunk with a monster on you? I didn't think so.

4. Michael Jordan is a good sport about his failed baseball career

No pun intended.

5. Romance

Name a better romantic subplot. I dare you.

6. Women empowerment

Lola is a badass woman who defies gender stereotypes while also retaining femininity and that's something no one can deny.

7. Great round characters

You really see the sides of characters you never thought you'd see.

8. Good sportsmanship

What's more heartwarming than good old-fashioned sportsmanship?

9. Bill Murray

Need I say more?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
