Product: A League of Their Own (Widescreen Edition) [VHS] (1992)
Rating: 5.0
Truly a classic!
This movie came out when I was 9 and it's been a fixture it my movie collection ever since. There are so many memorable moments, some filled with sheer hilarity, others that are quite touching. The acting is great, the story is good, and this is by far one of my all time favorite performances from Tom Hanks. In addition to the immortal line "There's no crying in baseball!", there is a large selection of quotable moments from many different characters. I'm not even a big baseball fan, but for some reason I've always loved baseball movies. Perhaps there is an innate fun and big-hearted nature to the sport when you use it as subject matter to frame a story. Films like this and Sandlot, and Field of Dreams, and Rookie of the Year have always had special places in my memory because of the fun and humor they inspired.
