I always enjoy the slow-mo winning play of Major League.

I've gotten jaded in my old age. The football ones are just so cheesy to me now. They all have to have elbow to the head, flip tackles on every play, airborne defensive linemen, ankle breaking cutbacks on every run, etc.

It is SO hard to make a realistic sports movie. Seemingly every single athletic scene has to be amped up to an 11.

And bunt. And throw. And swing.

Pedro had a decent swing. Vaughn looks like he actually pitched before. Everyone else looked like actors trying to play sports.

You know, the sound the ball makes when it hits the bat? It was like music to me. You know, the smell of the grass . . . it was first unnecessary thing I ever done in my life and I fell in love. I didn't know the unnecessary could feel so good. You know, the game was meaningless but it seemed to mean everything to me. It was useless, but perfect.

Tim Robbins in Bull Durham looks like a cartoon of 1920's pitchers.

The Hansen Brothers in Slap Shot. The big fight before the National Anthem and then the ref eyeing them during it.

This thread reminds me..it's so weird to know or be friends with someone that doesn't watch movies. Can't quote or reference anything!

When I got my first DVD player, I bought 2 movies to start my collection:

Hoosiers
Rudy

Both have endings that even to this day (like 2 minutes ago when I watched the Rudy ending in this thread), make the room a little dusty.

I laugh so hard every time Hanks plunks Stilwell and screams with delight.

The scene in The Rookie when Dennis Quaid calls home and tells his family he finally made it to the majors always brings out the sports mist.

Come to think of it, the first time he runs out to the field does too

Lesser talked about but still great lines/scenes:

League of Their Own - The Hard is What Makes It Great



Bull Durham - Respect the Streak



For Love of the Game - Clear the Mechanism



Field of Dreams - People Will Come



Bull Durham - Here Comes the Deuce..

I love the tone and facial expressions of Hanks when Dottie returns after that clip - "Have a little trouble with the bears, did ya?"

Favorite mound visit line, "I want to announce my presence with authority":

"Avoid the clap" - Jimmy Duggon

Pitcher/Catcher dynamic in Bull Durham was so great. The mound visits are some of my favorites.

For Love of the Game, hard to choose between all the great scenes.

I'll pretty much see any Kevin Costner baseball movie -- don't care if it's about dogs playing wiffleball

Not my favorite, but the scenes in Foxcatcher where DuPont tries to wrestle. They are chilling and cringe inducing.

The fact that this scene hasn't been mentioned yet is beyond me...

Since you posted that, I'll push the "Sports Movie" thing with this...
