Favorite Baseball Movie

Baseball by Ken Burns.
I know it's cheating... As it's a documentary, and about 20 hours long.
Still an absolute essential watch for any hardcore fan, and one of the best docs ever made -
I'll also put out 61*
Great movie about Maris and Mantle. Aaron Eckhardt plays a perfect Mantle in this -

No love for The Scout ?!?!? Peak Brendan Fraser. Joking
1A. Field of Dreams
1B. Bull Durham
1C. The Natural
1D. Major League
1E. For Love of The Game -
Hardball, thats why my team name is Kekambas every year
-
For love of the Game probably has the best baseball footage, but I don’t remember loving the movie on the whole. I do really appreciate that Costner is a legit ball player. One of my pet peeves is baseball movies with actors who have clearly never held a bat or thrown a ball in their lives.
I’ve read that a lot of big leaguers thought Moneyball was a joke, but I really liked it.

The Natural, or Field of Dreams.
and although not completely about baseball as a horror fan I do enjoy the Battery for the most part.
-
If you have never seen it, Fastball is a good documentary type movie. Talks about Ryan, Feller and how they measure a fastball now.
-
I liked Mr. Baseball
-
The Naked Gun
-
Trouble With the Curve
-
moneyball
-
Lots of good ones on here already, I would add Pride of the Yankees and Cobb.
-
Another one I do like is Bleacher Bums, I own most of the movie that were mentioned.
-
I used to like Bang the Drum Slowly, but the guy playing the lead is a root.....
-
For the Love of the Game (1999 Kevin Costner) is awesome because of the way they pitching is shown. Check it out.
Bull Durham I love too.
Has anyone seen the documentary The Battered Bastards of Baseball? So good. I think it's still available on Netflix.
