Best Baseball Movie
This thread coincides with our "best baseball movie" poll. Tell us why the one you chose is your favorite. Or do you have more than one fave? Click on "Comments" to post!
For me, this is a toss-up between "Major League" and "Field of Dreams." It largely depends on what mood I'm in, but I'll go with the latter since I'd have to say it's just a better film. Which isn't to say, however, that "Major League" isn't hilarious.
I forgot about "A League of Their Own", probably because I've never seen it.
There's no crying in baseball!!!
I'm really torn between 3 movies: Major League, The Natural, and Field of Dreams. I think Field of Dreams might be the best story and overall film, since it's got that whole father-son thing, but I love Robert Redford (pick me out a good one, Bobby), and Major League kills me (yo, second base!).
Major League is perfect for Spring Training, and The Natural & Field of Dreams are ideal for September-October. At least, they seem so to me!
I prefer my baseball comedy a _little_ more grown up. Besides, what's not to like about a baseball movie you can get a lady to watch?
"Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic."
"Ooh, I've heard of stuff like this. "Yeah? Have you heard of Walt Whitman? "No. Who's he play for?"
"Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob."

I feel like a banker in this!
This guy is dead....well cross him off the list then.
Why isn't "A League of their Own" on the survey????? I LOVE THAT MOVIE -- and yes, for the baseball!

I attribute the absence of "A League of their Own" to phallo-logo-hetero-eurocentrism.
Or maybe it's just Rosie O'Donnell.
"Oh, I don't know. I've got a guy on the other line who wants a set of white-walls."
"I say, f--- you, Jobu, I do it myself!"
