I think this is the best baseball movie ever made. Here's my top 5:
1) Bull Durham
2) Major League
3) The Natural
4) Bad News Bears (original)
5) Eight Men Out
I think Field of Dreams is amazing, but I don't really consider it a true baseball movie (it's about one guy building a baseball field, instead of an acutal baseball TEAM).

Cobb is NOT one of the worst baseball movies, Tyrus Raymond Cobb WAS just like the character Tommy Lee Jones portrayed. He was also the 1st member elected to the hall of fame and hit .400 6 times, no one has ever even come close to that.

i must be the only one who thinks the exploding lights at the end of the natural was just hokey....

5. Moneyball
6. Major League
7. 61*
8. The Natural

I feel the need to point out that these are my favorites, not the ones I think are truely the "best". Although most of these(Major League,Benchwarmers,and moneyball would not, obviously) would be on that list the order would be different. I also would like to point out I'm not a big fan of Bull Durham(I find it average at best. Less about baseball and more about 2 ball players trying to get the same ego-centric WHORE)
Also I certainly consider Field of Dreams a baseball movie, more of a baseball movie than Fever Pitch(which someone put on their list), Fever Pitch isn't a baseball movie, it's a movie about a Red Sox fan.
Current kick: Scream
Though I disagree with some choices on your list I didn't mind the post until I read this line "ego-centric WHORE"! The misogyny making such a comment is just to much. Grow up FFS, she didn't sleep around with lots of men, she even states in the movie that she is "100% monogamous during the baseball season".
Why is it that a woman that is sexual and have multiple partners is a whore but a man is a stud?
