Favorite baseball movie
-
The Natural. Saw it in the theater when it first came out, and it's still my favorite after all this time. A distant 2nd would be Major League. More recently I really liked 42. It was good but not great.
-
Remember the Titans
-
-
The Sandlot, Bad News Bears and Rookie Of The Year.
-
I realize am in the minority but I liked Major League II better than the original and there is no Major League III in my book.
-
My favorite is either major league or field of dreams, depending on whether I wanna laugh or I'm feeling sentimental lol. Unpopular opinion: Bull Durham is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, baseball or otherwise. I don't get how it always winds up on best of lists.

Well if you played minor league ball, it might hit home a little bit more. I was playing in the Carolina League the year it came out in 1988. Played many times at that exact ballpark. They had filmed summer scenes the winter before. Notice the cold air fog when guys would breathe. I believe it was released in May 1988 and the stands were packed once the movie came out. It was like a carnival there. Lots of fun. I loved the scene when the guys needed a night off so they flooded the field the night before. When I watch Bull Durham now, its like a time capsule back to 1988.
