This one - "The Natural," the only one that gets the mythology of the game, which is what it's all about.

While I have always enjoyed The Natural, my favorite is Bull Durham. It's even funnier than Wilford Brimley talking about farming.

Brimley was awesome, but I've always admired Richard Farnsworth as the understated sidekick who clearly and quietly understands and supports his manager, and who quietly advises his boss as needed. The following scene, where Red awkwardly tries to make conversation over a get-to-know-you dinner with Hobbs was also awesome. Both men played their roles to perfection.

He's great. His is so much a great supporting role that if you don't look right at him, he is just part of the mosaic. If you watch this scene a couple of times, you can see that his character has heard this rant a hundred times, and you're right there with him, and he's trying to get Pop to do something to get him and the team out of that rut.

Wilford Brimley's best scene, bar none, in any movie he ever did. He just knocked the cover off of the ball.

That was cinematic brilliance. Willard Brimley love that guy

Wilford Brimley stole this movie. A brilliant combination of irascible, angry, and cantankerous. But the way he goes from disliking Roy from the beginning to warming up to him to flat out admiring him is one of the best story arcs in the movie. Pop Fisher is ranting at the beginning of this scene about how "I shoulda been a farmer" not realising that the guy who just walked into the dugout with a trombone case is the epitome of the midwestern farm boy.

One of the greatest sports movies ever made and this is coming from a guy that doesn’t even like baseball.

The same happened with James Earl Jones, delivering the greatest baseball speech in movie history as Terrence Mann in Field Of Dreams, although Jones isn't a baseball fan. He also played Leon Carter, based on Josh Gibson, in The Bingo Long Travelling All Stars And Motor Kings ! and was excellent at it.

Perfectly cast, wonderful film

make this whole movie free! Its old.

This is just a GREAT movie in every way!!! In my to 25 All Time! (BTW - do not read the book - EVER! You know how everyone always says, "the book was better!" this is THE exception to that rule! )

The book had a darker ending, definitely not Hollywood. Is that what you are worried about.

Good filmmaking Bob 😅

Phil Mankowski was on the Knights.

Hinkle did in fact “come on” and batted .426 the rest of the way to lead the NL with 126 RBI’s and vault the Knights from 8th to 7th. Let’s get serious: the Angels couldn’t get to .500 with Trout and Ohtani. If one great player was all it took to make a team great, Indian Bob Johnson would’ve participated in several World Series.

Field of Dreams is not a baseball movie. Bull Durham is a movie about the love of the game, and for that reason alone, it is probably the best of them all.

While field of dreams is a superior film in many regards, this is the better “baseball” film. This film is the legend, the dream, the magic of baseball. This is the embodiment of why baseball is what it is. It’s the myth, baseball’s odyssey.

I can’t say I disagree with anything you just said. “Kinda weird” is exactly how I describe For Love of the Game.

You forgot The Sandlot. From 1984-1993 was a sick baseball run.. The Natural, Bull Durham, Eight Men Out, Field of Dreams, Major League, The Sandlot. Even had movies like Rookie of the Year, Little Big League, and Angels in the Outfield. Not to mention Naked Gun had a big baseball component.

47 year old actor pretends to play 19 year old pitcher who strikes out another 47 year old actor pretending to be a 35 year old best player in baseball. Then the 19 (but really 47 ) year old gets seduced by an older woman, who is actually ten years younger than the not really 19 year old. Worst casting in a sports movie ever.
