Best Baseball Movies?


Twins Video

Hey all,

 

I just got done watching the Twins-White Sox matinee, and stumbled upon Cody Christie's post on best baseball movies. It's kind of hidden in a larger link post, so I thought I'd draw the conversation out a little. Cody posts a link to the IMBB Top Ten Baseball Movies: http://www.imdb.com/list/x9dmZYfeX4w/

 

Their list draws quite a bit of criticism on the IMBB site, with movies like "Mr 3000" and "Fever Pitch" in the top ten.

 

Cody's top five:

 

  1. Bull Durham
  2. Sandlot
  3. Major League
  4. A League Of Their Own
  5. Field of Dreams

 

Here's my top ten:

 

1. Field of Dreams

2. Sandlot

3. Eight Men Out

4. Bang the Drum Slowly

5. Fear Strikes Out

6. A League of Their Own

7. #42

8. Bull Durham

9. Major League

10. For the Love of the Game

 

Honorable Mention:

11. Bad News Bears

12. The Rookie

What about "Mr. Baseball"?

 

That was an all-time classic. Tom Selleck was robbed that year (93 or 94) of an Academy Award.

 

It haunts me to this day.

I loved Mr. Baseball. Accept!

 

Here is my top 5:

 

1. Field of Dreams

2. Major League

3. Moneyball

4. Little Big League

5. Eight Men Out

 

Rookie of the Year is very watchable too. I also may be the only person on the planet who really enjoys Major League 2.
