1-liner, Baseball, Movies April 13th. 2009, 4:30pmThe Natural: Because there just aren’t enough baseball-movie lists floating around the web. No real surprises here, other than the fact that the world is ready for another great baseball movie. (Paste Magazine via Fark)

??? How about the fact that the best baseball movie of all time isn’t on that list..Bull Durham
April 13th, 2009 at 4:47 PM
Yeah, no shit. Bull Durham was boss.
And I know 61 wasn’t/isn’t that huge, but it was a good movie.
Watching The Natural’s home run at the end of the movie always gives me chills.

can’t say pride of the yankees is worthy of top 10.
bull durham should have been there, *61 was really good.
hate it when lists don’t count down…anticlimactic.

youngstown must be a girl.
Here’s a forgotten baseball movie that’s actually quite good. Long Gone, starring William Pederson, Dermot Mulroney, Casey Shemshanko and Virginia Madsen, oh and Larry Riley. It was an HBO movie from the early, early 80’s, and you never see it anymore. It was about minor league baseball. Interestingly, in the movie, Teller of Penn and Teller had a speaking role.

Bull Durham is 100% a chick flick.

Whenever my friend Billy gets drunk I get to him to do the no crying in baseball quote, he does the whole thing better than Tom Hanks.
Also I think Daniel Stern makes Rookie of the Year. “I wrap the cake up in my vomit bag, and Voila!… Breakfast! “

i can’t even begin to respond to this ignorance..

I’m not saying it’s not a good movie, or even a good sports movie, just that it’s primarily for girls to watch and enjoy, more than for guys. If you’re in a room full of people, watching Bull Durham, and a guy has the remote, he’s gonna change the channel, and the girls are gonna groan.

Bullshit.
“You guys. You lollygag the ball around the infield. You lollygag your way down to first. You lollygag in and out of the dugout. You know what that makes you? Larry!”
“LOLLYGAGGERS!”
“Lollygaggers.”

I really hate Susan Sarandon, also Kevin Costner, and I have very little liking for Tim Robbins, except for Shawshank and the Hudsucker Proxy. Plus, it’s all romancy. Romancy.
Watch my movie. In it, Virginia Madsen is about 22. That at least should make it worth it. Plus, if you’ve never seen it, it’s a sports movie you’ve never seen.

Amen.

ill check it out Dirt, might need to netflix that bitch though.

It’s not like the movie’s tagline was ‘A Major League Love Story in a Minor League Town’ or anything.
Whats that? It was? Oh.
April 13th, 2009 at 5:45 PM
Don’t get me wrong though, I love Bull Durham. But it’s a romantic comedy through and through.
April 13th, 2009 at 7:19 PM
I’m with dirt – Bull Durham is a chick flick. Nothing wrong with liking romantic comedies, though. Yall don’t have to be so defensive.

i thought it was a baseball movie with some small town whores sprinkled in.

Gotta give credit to Tim Robbins for playing the dumbass/retard role to perfection. You never go full retard. Pretty bad movie though.
