Pride of the Yankees is still the best Baseball film in my opinion and it was based in fact anyway.
it happens every spring
Should have included a League of Their Own. Close second to the Natural.
Barry in Canada
voted for The Natural but surprised 8 Men Out got so few votes ... the baseball scenes are realistic and the story is straight from history
The best ice/snow movie was "Dr. Zhivago," not even listed!
C'mon guys...Field is my favorite movie of all times. I drove out to Iowa twice to see it. I remember the first time I saw it, it was such a shock, I almost couldn't catch my breath at the end. No contest here!
"The Pride of the Yankees" was the best Hollywood 'Treatment' of a baseball story. It came across better as a love story than a hard-nose baseball action movie. What really turned me off about this film was the way Lou Gehrig's, "Luckiest Man on the face of the Earth" speech was so shamelessly twisted and mutilated. In real life, this phrase did not come at the end of his speech. But Hollywood did it that way to make for a typical, run-of-the-mill tear-jerker ending. There was an incredibly courageous and dignified life after baseball for Lou Gehrig that, had it been included in the film, would have shown even far more greatness in this man than the sugar-coated fluff offered up in "The Pride of the Yankees." It was with incredible courage and dignity that Lou and Eleanor Gehrig lived out the last months of his life.
