With opening day this weekend and the promise of alot of baseball movies on cable this weekend its only fair to name off you're favs.

Mine will always be Major League 1 and 2. Harry Doyle's dialogue in both movies are just classic...


YouTube - Jack Parkman 'Shimmy'

The Sandlot
Major League 1 and 2

Brewster's Millions - technically not a baseball movie, but John Candy's role as the catcher is priceless.

i like most baseball movies...
which is interesting considering how much I don't really like the sport.

Major League 1 & 2 without doubt is the cream of the crop. Followed by Bull Durham and 61*.

The worst is For The Love of the Game. Whoever made that movie should be kicked in the ass.

I'm actually milling around in one of the crowd shots for that movie filmed at Fenway (I have no idea whether it actually made the movie or was left in the cutting room, but I'm claiming movie star status regardless.)

Really? This seems to be a popular answer around here so I guess I am in the minority but i thought the original was great. I thought the 2nd was awful.

Only movie that I would add that I don't think was mentioned yet would be the original Bad News Bears.

the 2nd one was good. Close to the original, with some interesting additions. Rube, the new catcher was quite funny and Soreno and the Asian worked very well together. Now the third one, "Back to the Minors" was a catastrophe. Sadly, I'll actually watch it though.

As awful as it was compared to 1 and 2, it has its moments. I would also watch it any day of the week.
