I seem to be stuck on the Dark weird and SICK stuff. This came to mind anyone see The anti war film "Johnny got his gun " I believe that METALLICA song and video is based on it, (ONE ?) Another I seen THATS NOT MY FAVORITE but is still a dark weird film."COOK THE THIEF HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER" some scenes in this make you want to AMERICAN BEAUTY, I had a 1970 Firebird loved that car!!!

BOXING HELENA- WEIRD,DARK AND SICK!!!

RIVERS EDGE -Disturbing and at times humorous. I think this one fits in this category SLINGBLADE- I love this movie one of my all time favorites the characters are so believable. I have others just can't think of any at this moment!

ESL cause Jacobs Ladder . Love the little 50's intro '"Like to do a old song for you right now" This could change in a hour or so, but at this moment SHOW OF HANDS! NO it's still EXIT STAGE LEFT.

John Goodman was in one about Babe Ruth called The Babe, I think. Also, Tommy Lee Jones played Ty Cobb in Cobb, I think. The Babe was mediocre, Cobb was pretty interesting. Ty Cobb was not a nice guy, that's for sure, and it was captured pretty well in the movie. My personal favorite baseball movie is the Hank Greenberg Story. A must for any true baseball fan. It's got interview footage with old teammates like Charlie Gehringer and Hal Newhouser. Greenberg had to overcome adversity of his own, being Jewish in a largely anti-Semitic environment. One of the interesting stories has Jackie Robinson colliding on the basepaths with Greenberg, and a silence falling over the park. Greenberg helped him up and told him that he was going to do just fine, and that he had been there and knew. Anyway, go rent it. Otherwise, I liked most of the movies mentioned in this thread, though it's been many years since I've seen a lot of them. I've heard that Tom Hanks' character in A League of Their Own is supposed to be based on Jimmie Foxx. I love that signature call by Uecker in Major League.. "Juuuuuuuuusssssstttt a bit outside!!" I loved Bull Durham. Pride of the Yankees was great. How could one not be a Lou Gehrig fan? Seeing the old time players in Field of Dreams was neat. If you build it, they will come.... Gotta see the Natural again. It's been too long. I heard that Bad News Bears is going to be remade, starring Billy Bob Thornton. Should be interesting.

I can think of two Woody Allen movies that should have made the cut, "Annie Hall " 1977 and "Manhattan" 1979

This was shown here in N.E. Ohio on local UHF station on saturday mornings. The only thing i remember of it was the dancing were wolf silhouette in front of psychedelic light images. It kinda remind me of a kids Rowin and Martin Laugh In.

I'd have to say Bull Durham is my fav baseball movie. The Natural and Eight Men Out are also personal favs...A guilty pleasure is Pride of the Yankees with Gary Cooper....though heavy on the tear-jerker side I immensely liked it for the subject; Lou Gehrig being one of those players from the past I'd wish to of seen play. I would also like to see a remake of this movie for today's audience. An underrated movie is Soul of the Game about the breaking of the colour line. I love the Chinese groundskeepers in Major League...."They're still shitty.." Definitely a classic baseball comedy! (Could do without the sequels though)

I apologize if this topic has already been discussed ! If not what's your'e favorite. I have several that i return to and still enjoy again and again. The ones on my list are . Bang the drum slowly (DeNiro) The Natural, Bingo Long Traveling All Stars (Pryor, James Earl Jones) The HBO film '"61" Great movie about Rodger Maris and the price he had to pay for beating Ruth's record. And a sentimental favorite of mine, Major League . Being a Tribe fan at the time this came out the Indians were still floundering in a decade of below 500 baseball this is all we had to cheer about,I'm serious! When me and my friends seen this at the theater every body had there Indians gear on and people would go crazy hi five and cheer like it was really happening. A sad and strange event.

But did you  know there were two more crappy Amityville movies?  This last one was not the sequel, original came out in 1979 followed by sequel in 82 called Amityville ll,The  Possession then Amityville lll in 83  AND THAT WAS IN 3D!!!    Just kidding about that last part. But this is fourth  movie and hopefully last.   ( Jodi a pig in first one ?) Actually there were more than that......though I never bothered with most of them....   http://www.imdb.com/find?q=amityville;tt=on;nm=on;mx=20 Good grief, that's the true horror of it all!!!!

I have this also , pretty good overall "YYZ" sounds like Itzhak Perllman doing a yiddish hoe down! Highly enjoyable, Also i always thought "Jacobs Ladder" would be good set to a classical arrangement. Like others on the forum i would like to see the music of RUSH with full orchestration.

Likes games eh? Knew she would! Likes games eh? She's been around abit,been around!
