Baseball Movies

[Chris Daddy Cool]

I'm trying to build my collection of baseball movies. What other good flicks am I missing?

61
Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
League Of Their Own
Little Big League
Major League
Natural
Pride Of The Yankees

I'm looking to get Angels in The Outfield and The Sandlot next. Any other glaring ommissions?

There was a sandlot 2?

[Chris Daddy Cool]

Mr. Baseball

[Evan]

Does it suck as much as I'm guessing it does?

[Chris Daddy Cool]

the original sandlot was cool.

[Evan]

Yea, I love that movie. I would be shocked if I didn't hate the sequel though.

Although true, any of these pwne Angels in the Outfield.

[PokerGodess]

Little big league is one of the best movies of all time. What would you do if you were 13 and pwned the twins?

Also there are film versions of Damn Yankees...

[chaas4747]

Glover's gotta be proud he made this.

[swede123]

Check out The Rookie, with Dennis Quaid. Based on a true story, it's a pretty straightforward kids/family movie, but I found it enjoyable anyway.

[MrWookie47]

I'll cast a second vote for the Bad News Bears.

[Rick Diesel]

Although not that great overall, there were still some funny parts in Major League 2.

[chaas4747]

Kelly Preston should be added to the hottest chics over 40. http://i.imdb.com/mptv1.gif

[heavybody]

" Fear Strikes Out", the story of Jim Piersall and his mental breakdown...Anthony Perkins, Karl Malden.

[jakethebake]

The Kid From Left Field is a great movie! The original (1953), not the remake with Gary Coleman.

[Chris Daddy Cool]

i got it for 3 bucks.

best
money

ever.

There's a movie called Cobb I think. Also, one that starts President Reagan as I think Christy Mathewson or is it Grover Cleveland Alexander. I thought the baseball scenes in For Love of the Game were well done.

what's the point of writing 'pwne' if it's longer than own? or did you just think owne is spelled retardedly?

[M2d]

didn't Freddie Prinze Jr. do some swill about the cape cod league?

Summer Catch -- a below average movie (mildly entertaining) but did have a great bar scene where one player on the team professed his love for fat chicks. Also the chick in the movie was pretty hot.

Jessica Biel. 20 seconds before this thread gets jacked with Biel pictures.

[thirddan]

a league of their own is a good movie...

also, major league 2 /images/graemlins/smile.gif
i think there is a movie called "Cobb" with tommy lee jones but not sure if its good or not...

[fnord_too]

Comrads of Summer (or something like that). I think this was an HBO movie. (Not really a glaring ommision like "The Bad News Bears," but I got to the thread late and all the good ones were taken.)

[2005]

obv b/c itz c00l3r

[2005]

Cobb is less about baseball and more about how much of an [censored] Ty Cobb was. It's kinda slow, but it's interesting at least.

[2005]

Soul of the Game

It's about the Negro Leagues(Satchel Paige, Josh Gibson, Jackie Robinson)

[youtalkfunny]

I thought I was the only person in the country who liked "Cobb".

IMO, another must-see is "It Happens Every Spring". It was made in the 30's or 40's. Some professor is working on a way to magnetize wood. He accidentally stumbles upon a solution that REPELS wood. Put some on a baseball, and it's unhittable.

Stupid premise--gets even stupider when the professor tries to keep his invention secret, and protect his anonymity on his way to winning 30 games--but it's still worth watching once. Even though Ray Milland knocks Tim Robbins off the top of the "Best Actor to play a pitcher who throws like a girl" list.

[Justin A]

Depends on how extensive you're looking to make your collection. Brewsters Millions has some baseball content. Ken Burns Baseball is excellent, although it's like a nine volume set. There's also the Scout, which isn't very good. I've never seen Damn Yankees, but I think it's considered a classic. One more that comes to mind that I've never seen is The Fan.

I am pretty sure that Comrads of Summer the game ends in a tie and the umpires (the guys in charge) decide to just take everything.

Its the f'king American pastime so unless this movie is about Cuban baseball then it is probably called Boys of Summer

I forget who stars in this but we had a hugh laugh about this movie during a home game once.
