The ceremony of the vision quest is one of the most universal and ancient means to find spiritual guidance and purpose. In practicing cultures, a vision quest is said to provide deep understanding of one\u2019s life purpose. That sums up this movie, my favorite sports movie to watch, anytime, any place. A rite of passage through the art of high school wrestling is what we have here. Unlike some of my other favorites, there is not a lot to say about this film. Everything is first-rate, including the dialog and the sports action. Add a great Madonna song, Linda Fiorentino, and a first-rate supporting cast, it is a cult classic for wrestlers and other sports fans.\u00a0 Modine looks the part of a high school athlete, yet he was quite older than the 18-year-old in the film.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0 <span style=\"color: #8d2424; font-size: large;\">The clip below sums up what sport is all
