I’m a baseball fan. Being bias, for my favorites I’d go with Field of Dreams, Bull Durham, For the Love of the Game, Major League, The Natural, and don’t forget Eight Men Out. Other unmentioned gems (baseball or otherwise); The Longest Yard, Dodgeball, Bad News Bears. And, WOW, too many to mention. However, baseball bias aside, I do hold Hoosiers high on the list. Reading Carson’s article and thinking about all the sports movies that I love makes me want to write one.

The fest will host its second 'A League Of Their Own' reunion softball game on Sunday, featuring Davis and a handful of actresses from the film, including Megan Cavanaugh (Marla Hooch), Ann Cusack (Shirley Baker) and Anne Ramsey (Helen Haley). I'll be doing the call for the game, which will be included in next year's 25th.

To hell with “least likely to get noticed!”. Just to complement to number 8: I remembered a great movie that’s totally around Basketball (because in fact it has nothing to do with basketball, other than the main character being a basketball referee), the one with Billy Crystal “Forget Paris”, where he meets a woman in the French capital while traveling to get his dead father’s body to the US Although it has nothing to do with Basketball, you got some great scenes involving the game, and the whole sports universe surrounding the love story between the two, which works great in that case. Worth checking, it’s a really funny movie with that late 80’s, early 90’s vibe. Excellent points. A thought to add: A key aspect to a movie is that it can bring us into unique and interesting worlds we have never visited.

Basketball was everything in Indiana in that era, something that was ingrained in its soul, part of its identity. You feel that in this movie. Bull Durham does it well also by bringing us into the bus filled world of the minor league ballplayer. If someone has never been to Indiana, after watching this film you come away with a tremendous sense of not only having been there, but even of having grown up there.

An incredible accomplishment for a film. Download free joss stone discography rapidshare downloads. Pretty slim, unless you’re Tyler Perry! In all seriousness, yeah, you got a point. And it’s a shame. To set up a Mexican-American drama like “A Better Life” (which was terrific), it seems like it has to be one of those inside jobs. You’re the writer-director with connections to producers and a star attached and you take it to the studio yourself.

And even then it’s hard. Which really stacks the odds against you if you’re an amateur. But I also see so many scripts by amateurs where they list the race of the character and in the grand scheme, it doesn’t really matter what they are. It doesn’t bother me, but I’ve heard readers remark that it “pulls them out of the story” for whatever reason. No need to do that if it’s easily avoidable. Pretending not to be racist may be part of it.

But as you state, a non-white non-male protagonist has been perceived to have an affect on how far your movie can go. I’m not sure if anyone has done any in depth study on that, but anecdotal evidence seems to bear it out. Then again, domestically speaking, the majority of actors are white. The majority of American’s are white.

And they spend more on movies than any other race, with Blacks and Asians bringing up the rear. So it makes sense I guess that most roles go to White’s, for better or worse. Like I said, I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, just the way it is. Fortunately, the ever-increasing importance of international box office is starting to change that. Coach Carter (Hoosiers crossed with Stand and Deliver) was another basketball movie that many of these rules apply to, although in this case the coach wasn’t in need of redemption(?) like the coach in Hoosiers. Also would you consider the subplot in Hoosiers with Dennis Hopper as the alcoholic that the Gene Hackman made and assistant coach a save the cat type moment? When I think about it there were a lot of characters that I was pulling for to succeed, the coach, his love interest Barbra Hershey, the alcoholic assistant coach, Jimmy the great player who wasn’t playing, the short untalented basketball player, the alcoholic’s son, the town, etc.

I guess that goes to giving all your secondary characters a flaw to overcome. Most definitely a save the cat type moment. Everyone in town is fed up with the drunk, most of all his son who is also on the team (two characters with flaws evolving around the same problem.). The coach also feels shunned by the community, so the drunk is really the only ally he might have because he sees the potential. Then he gets himself thrown out! That is faith.

He threw the man into a dramatic pressure cooker of a situation and what happens? But his son HELPS HIM by recommending a play! Two flaws getting wrapped up in the same dramatic situation done the way it’s meant to be: A character with a flaw put in a situation that directly tests that flaw. There’s an old saying ‘One of the most exciting days of your life is your first day on a movie set. One of the most boring is the second day.’ An extra is just one step above a prop or scenery. So we were all dressed, coiffed and plopped into the stands for the big final basketball scene.

Then all the complicated business of shooting a movie commenced. And most of that business isn’t filming. Rehearsing, blocking, sound, lights. Question: Why doesn’t the Director of Photography ever smoke? Answer: Because it takes him 3 hours to light anything. Keep in mind that we had ten actors on the court, swirling around like a ballet and it all had to look good on film. Takes a lot of practice to get that right.

And the worst of it, the last scene on the last day, 2AM on a school night, the director insisted that the final basket had to be a swish. Nothing but net. You can imagine how long that took. A one time, difficult experience but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. “There are no other truly good basketball movie” This is going to put a major dent in my tough guy image, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Robby Benson basketball flick One on One (1977). “Henry Steele is a basketball phenom at his small town high school, but when he matriculates to a big city university on a scholarship, soon realizes that he has few skills outside the sport.” When I was growing up, this film was always playing on the tube the ending where Benson ‘sticks’ it his coach is still a classic in my book.Plus, Robby Benson was sorta the Justin Bieber of the ’70s.;-).

That statement about there being no other good basketball movies caught my eye too. Maybe I’ll have to re-watch some of them to see if they’re worse than I remember, but I recall liking some of them quite a bit. I remember loving “Blue Chips,” with Nick Nolte as a college coach whose program is sinking into murky depths with corrupt recruiting practices. I rather enjoyed “He Got Game” too, although I suspect that one hasn’t aged well (what with a lot of Spike Lee’s stylistic choices that just seem silly to me now, not to mention questionably casting an NBA player as the co-lead because I guess the basketball scenes needed to work more than the acting needed to work). I watched He Got Game again on HBO last week and it still holds up. My biggest beef was the whole subplot between Denzel and the hooker.

The scenes did nothing for the plot, only minimally fleshed out Denzel’s character by adding another dimension to him, and still somehow seemed to command 30 minutes of screen time. Ray Allen’s acting was wooden to be sure, but to me it still worked. The only scene I cringed at was the first time Denzel walks into the apartment Jesus shares with his little sister.

Ray Allen clunks his way through that scene. My bro and our friends would watch Blue Chips all the damn time in Jr. High and H.S., back when we all thought we were going to the NBA. Still an awesome movie IMO.

He Got Game too. I also liked Coach Carter and Glory Road. They were somewhat cliche, but still entertaining to me. It’s funny you mention the terrible acting by NBA star Ray Allen in He Got Game. Blue Chips had some real NBA/College players in it. Shaq stole the show, and Penny Hardaway was convincing as well.

Bobby Hurley and Calbert Cheaney were on the court but they did well in their b-ball scenes. Few other players/coaches were in it too. That’s one of the things I liked most about it. Maybe Spike saw that and thought he could pull the same thing off.

He had a bunch of real life players and coaches in HGG, but they were all pretty bad actors to me. Even on the court. Well, I’d have to re-watch to be sure, but I suspect those players in Blue Chips weren’t particularly good actors. They were used in a way that played better, though, because they were mostly playing unemotional phony kids. It’s one thing to take someone who can’t really act and ask them to play a kind of cold, wooden, unemotional kid taking part in the phony recruiting process (hearing pitches, receiving praise, while they coldly wait to hear how much cash the school will give them, and what kind of car they’ll give their mom and what kind of tractor they’ll give their dad).

It’s another thing to ask someone who can’t act to have to face off against an actor like Denzel Washington in emotional scenes about a kid confronting his abusive father for stealing his childhood and killing his mother. Like I said, I still liked it and thought it was a good movie. I just suspect it’d be tougher to watch all these years later now that I’m arguably more critical and less forgiving about certain aspects of films.

Could one of the reasons sports movies are Box Office kryptonite be the fact that they lose two of their four quadrants even before hitting “FADE IN”? I’m referring of course to the female audience. Even a Spurs girl like me who’s crazy about soccer, couldn’t sit through “GOAL!” I used to think it’s because I have zero interest in American sports, but Moneyball almost made me give a damn about baseball. The cop-out compromise would be to make it a rom-com or thriller with sport playing only a supporting role (there’s reason ‘love’ comes first in.Love and Basketball. Honestly I don’t know how someone who appreciates the writing and execution of “Bull Durham”can see “Major League” as anything but the lame, pandering piece of crap it is. I don’t have the ability to enjoy both. And I’m not entirely certain the ability to shut off the part of the brain which Bull Durham caters to in order to enjoy “Major League” is a great trait to have.

I mean I suppose it’s good in that you can enjoy a wider range of movies. But from a discerning standpoint, I find it problematic.

I don’t like movies which just aspire to silliness I guess. Unless its Marx or Zucker Brothers, or Mel Brooks but even he doesn’t get a free pass.

Robin Hood Men in Tights compared to Young Frankenstein? There is no comparison. Good is good.

Crap is crap. It’s not necessary to shut off any part of one’s brain.

It’s merely going in with the right attitude. Plenty of people have enjoyed the Three Stooges over the years.

Count me as one. Major League requires a similar appreciation.

There’s nothing problematic with enjoying both the Three Stooges and Citizen Kane. There’s nothing problematicor threateningabout enjoying Major League and Bull Durham. I’ve seen several Hitchcock movies, and I am basically a fan. But I had never seen Vertigo until recently. And WTFit’s garbage.

That’s a bit strongly stated, but it’s not a good film. The first half of the film draaaaaaaaags. And no, I am not one of those people that requires bombs and other noise induced adrenalin.

It draaaags because nothing remotely interesting happens. I mean the mystery with the woman is interesting, but the film stretches a penny into a dollar.

The second half suddenly picks up, but it’s so convoluted and contrived for the life of me I don’t understand how any logic wielding human is not offended. Butthat’s the movie game!

Very subjective. Hoosiers is a great film for sure; but would it get made today? Who knows; and if it did it would most likely suck.

A League Of Their Own Script

Probably have an alien invading basketball team (keep the geeks happy). Didn’t read the article as I’m not a fan of articles discussing ‘tips’ and such, but if it helps people that’s a good thing (do we really need another sports film – we’re into biopic sports flicks now: thinking Lance Armstrong who has two in development: LOVE YA LANCE!!!) – Hate to be a stickler, but this article starts out with a basic grammatical error: ‘I’ve been feeling bad since’ It’s BADLY. A common error. I wouldn’t say Major League is complete garbage.

Sure, it is ripe with cliches but it’s still enjoyable because of the cast. And who can honestly say they expected Jake Taylor to bunt at the end? Having said that though, I 100% agree with you about Bull Durham. Best sports movie ever. Have you ever listened to Ron Shelton’s DVD commentary? If not, it’s worth listening to on a boring Saturday afternoon.

He explains almost every story decision he made and the efforts he went through to make it unlike any sports movie ever made to that point. I think an interesting trick for Suggestion #1 (emphasizing characters over the sport) is that you can kind of accomplish paying proper respect to the sport by just having a character be the one who places the sport on a pedestal. The movie itself doesn’t have to be a love letter to the sport, but you can still have a character kind of write their own love letter to the sport within the movie. Case in point: I’ve had a number of baseball-loving friends come to me and kind of sheepishly recommend “For Love of the Game” to me, saying they were surprised how much they liked it. Now, as a movie, it really strays away from the sport quite a bit. It’s more of a story about the romance/pursuit between a ballplayer and the single mother he falls for.

The story has a lot of things going on outside of baseball (and in fact it kind of makes the game a sort of a villain, because it’s the game that is keeping the ballplayer from being able to join the woman in building a new life together). But what sucks the sports fans in is that the character places the game on a pedestal. So while it’s not a movie about the majesty of the sport, it still pays its respect to the people who see it that way because it features a character who sees the game that way.

I seem to recall being a fan of the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh when I was younger (but haven’t seen it in probably 25 years). I also thought Rebound: The Legend of Earl “The Goat” Manigault was pretty good, but that might appeal more to basketball fans than a general audience. I think one of the issues with basketball movies is the height of the players. A lot of the movies focusing on the professional level don’t feel authentic because the players aren’t as tall as an NBA player. Perhaps that’s one reason why Hoosiers is more successful – high school players don’t need to be tall. As far as non-basketball movies, my nieghbor growing up was a huge fan of Amazing Grace and Chuck (with NBA star Alex English). The story focused on a little league player quitting his team in protest of nuclear weapons (I ask you, is there a more compelling goal for a script than global nuclear disarmament?).

I remember thinking at the time that my neighbor had questionable taste in movies, and judging by the 29% score on RT, I don’t think I was far off. Hey, Francis, my remarks were not directed at anyone, hope you didn’t take offense. I began being intrigued by the reincarnation angle.

But like I said, they stretched a penny into a dollar. An example is that scene where he follows her in the car to the department store. What was the G-d damned point of dragging that out? I think the idea was to create a sense of the world pressing in on him, but it doesn’t come off. There’s no tension, risk or danger, so it becomes a pointless drive through the city. Yes, the story becomes dark and tragicbut convoluted.

I found it impossible to buy into the plot. It was like some crazy uncle at dinner telling a story that no one believes and everyone is trying to be polite. That’s possible, since I went in knowing where the film ranks.

But after I watched the film, I looked it up and found that critics at the time the film came out said pretty much the same thing. I went into Citizen Kane knowing the high regard for the filmand my expectations were more than met. The power of that story blew me away. But I won’t be watching Vetigo again.

I’d rather go for a root canal. I think the people that like that film are film school teachers looking for certain very technical things.

They’re so absorbed in it that the can’t see the overall picture, which is one of a lousy story. (I did not give you the down arrow.).
