As far as "Bull Durham" goes I vaguely remember seeing it a long time ago. I just read that Sports Illustrated called it the #1 sports movie EVER MADE. I must have been smoking something when I saw it, because I BARELY remember it. I would definitely place the Bball movie "Hoosiers" above it. And really there must be some more recent sports movies that are better than the BOTH of them......even maybe "Butthead and Beavis Do Lacrosse".
.......Oh I just thought of a REAL movie.......it was about a foreign film about a women's soccer team in IRAN.The plot was something like ....the girl's mother didn't want her to show her legs or else she would NOT get a good husband or some such nonsense. The plot was thin and hokey, but somehow it worked out to a good movie. Actually, I have seen several good movies from Iran and that surprised me. I have even seen a good series or 2 from Pakistan, strangely enough. One was about a detective......very good!
.,.,..Oh, and I just thought of another good (and old) movie that I think was better than "Bull Durham" and about as good as "Hoosiers". That would be that old movie with Charlton Heston where he is an AGING quarterback who tries a last-minute QBack sneak into the goal line. He gets hit really real HARD. Then in the last scene the camera shows blood coming out of his ear. Not a Doctor, but that is BAD. And I like that TYPE of ending.....like did he die or not ??????
