post baseball and other sports kinos
>>223419913This film is only entertaining in you like i side baseball. Field of dreams and the sandlot are enjoyable even if you dont watch a single game of baseball.
>>223419913Field of dreams sucked ass
>>223419936>Field of dreams and the sandlot are enjoyableField of Dreams is saccharine schlockSandlot is literally a children's movie
>>223419936No, the scenes are cool regardless. like the phonecall negotiation scene for Rincon. Or first scene where Brad Pitt is trying to get more money out of Bobby Kotick
>>223419996You have no whimsy.>>223420034That is inside baseball! Its boring to anybody that doesnt watch baseball!
>>223420034thisyou don't need to get baseball at all for the point to come across

>>223419936I have never watched a single game of baseball in my life and I can easily sort Moneyball into my kino folder.
>>223419913Marty Supreme was genuinely the best time I had watching any sports movie. Electric atmosphere and helped I saw at the kinoplex
not much baseball in it but still
>>223419913How come the only good sports movies are about baseball? Soccer is too gay to make a movie about and no one really cares about hockey. Football and basketball have what? Space Jam? I really don't know.
>>223421261>How come the only good sports movies are about baseballbecause it's very easy to dramatize a pitcher versus a batter. it's a one on one duel, the game stops after every pitch so it's easy to build drama and tension in a movie, shit like that. lot easier than with a sport that has continuous movement and a running clock like soccer or whatever.
>>223420059I never watched a game of baseball in my life and don't know its rules
SandlotMajor LeagueBull Durham
>>223421261Never watched Slapshot, eh?
>>223421211This show sucks and so do the faggots who watch and quote it.
>>2234212611/10Football, Basketball, and Hockey have decent movies or better flavored to those sports. Though like this anon>>223421379 said, Baseball really lends itself to the drama and storytelling of a movie very well.
>>223421211This show is great and so are the connoisseurs who watch and quote it
>>223420620Damn, im hard from the tagline. Bet it got girls dripping.
>>223420629Was this comic sponsored by trump?

>>223421261>Soccer is too gay to make a movie aboutthen watch a funny gay soccer moviehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F920she_K3M
>>223420059>That is inside baseball! Its boring to anybody that doesnt watch baseball!Worst argument ever. I've never had a facebook, am I automatically supposed to find The Social Network boring too? What about Who Framed Roger Rabbit? I've never been to Toontown, should I find that boring? Or, hell, space! I've never been to space inb4 space is fake, am I locked out of all scifi forever? Don't be a retard, anon, it's unseemly.
>>223422786One Outs specifically is gay or all anime?
>>223422745Live in Cleveland.It's great.
The Natural is the only baseball kino worth talking about.
>>223420059>>223419936I don't watch baseball and I enjoyed Moneyball.
>>223423021just that particular combination of post and anime and timing; probably has a bunch of "pitcher and catcher" references among bishonen/adonis looking characters with ball caps.
>>223421261Remember The TitansThe Longest YardInvincible The Waterboy
>>223423021>>223423453One Outs isn't gay but the blonde guy is kinda of a mary sue.
>its knucklepuck time
>>223423379Oh I'm familiar with living in Cleveland. A damn shame what they did to the Indians & Jacobs Field...
>>223419913Europeans love shitting on The Super Bowl etc but cannot make a damn soccer (haha) movie to save their lives.
>>223421791idk was it?
>>223422913lmao
>>223423453not really no, all the characters are just amazed at how impossibly smart the blonde guy is
>>223423565Yeah. Used to have season tickets.I still call it the Jake. When they bent the knee and changed the name, I completely stopped watching.
>>223419936Nonsense. The only bad point of this movie is the very end when his daughter's singing "You're a loser, dad," over and over. No fucking idea why the editors put that in there. This is not some arthouse black comedy.
>>223424740its quirk chungus shit>teehee GET IT shes calling her dad a LOSER because his team lost and you're not supposed to call people losers so its like subversive or some wubba lubba dub dub reverse unoaaron sorkin is a faglord and so is bennett millerfincher isnt much less gay but he wouldve made it better
>>223424652>I still call this stadium from the 90s what it was called in the 90slol, millennials, folks; keeping the trad alive
Pratt getting the homerun is a beautiful moment, finally made me feel that romanticism of baseball
>>223425517This movie never went anywhere making the conclusion feel shallow.
>>223425562I thought the point was that Austin Butler stopped running from his problems and got all his enemies killed instead
>>223425726Everything was too circumstantial, the story never really came together.
>>223421379I don't buy it. There's barely any cricket movies, never mind decent ones, and that game has the same batter/pitcher dynamic.
>>223419913Not American or Japanese, so I'm not big on Baseball but Moneyball was pretty good!
When my Phillies fail to make the playoffs in the next couple days after having a 5 games lead just a week ago, it's gonna be kino sports comedy.
>>223426125Bollywood has a fuckton

>>223419913good movie, just too long.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UJFqn8UV64<3
>>223419913summer catch with Biel, you know, for reasons
>>223419936Not really. The more you know about professional baseball and particularly the A's at that time the more the movie will annoy you. It was made for people who only have a passing familiarity with the sport.
>>223419913I liked Draft Day, and I don't care that there is no football played in it.
>>223427164I liked it too.
>>223421261There's tons of great racing movies.
>>223427164That movie is so fucking retarded it actually crosses over into being entertaining.
>>223427145>>223419936What this anon said. If you were a big baseball fan at the time the movie makes you mad because it neglects to mention the A’s had three Cy Young caliber starters under the age of 25 (Hudson, Zito, Mulder). I remember the fourth starter was a solid pitcher as well. Their pitching rotation was better than the best money could buy and it’s an afterthought.
>>223427234This is the best way to put it. It goes so far over the line into absurdity that it circles back to watchable.
for me it's...major leaguefield of dreams sandlotmoneyballthe natural61*
>>223427353<3
>>223421261Soccer hasn't reached the popularity until recently. The show ted really well, then you have Reynolds show that also did pretty well.
who else here /mlb/?

>>223427725Just you talking to yourself you spamming baskintranny faggot. You’ve literally ruined any discussion of American sports on /sp/ to the point everyone has gone elsewhere or rarely posts.
>>223427798cum shitter kek
>>223427776>Green Street HooligansI wouldn't call Green Street Hooligans a soccer movie, though I did like it.>Shaolin Soccer...I liked it for it was, I can see how someone expecting to watch a soccer movie might be disappointed.>Bend It Like BeckhamNever watched it all the way through, feels like a kid movie.

>>223419913The Blind Side
>>223419913Rookies the Movie: Graduation. The soundtrack was so good.
>>223420262Underrated
Perhaps the best sports movie ever made.
>>223430200not even close. pretty forgettable actually desu
>>223430236You're a fag.
>>223430246no you are. the black sox is an interesting story but eight men out is boring as hell.
>>223421700FAGGOT
>>223430381Retard
>>223430506explain why eight men out is the best sports movie ever made
>>223430598Because it's not ultimately about baseball. Baseball is lame and gay and you're a dumb amerigoy if you watch it. FACT!
>>223430622>Fun things are fun.>Abraham Lincoln, 1861
>>223419913It's a really tragic epilogue to the movie that the rich teams (Yankees, Giants, Dodgers, Red Sox) copied the moneyball strat to win the World Series, meanwhile Oakland fell behind again to such an extent that the team was forced to leave Oakland without a single trophy and now they play in a minor league ballpark in Nevada, awaiting a proposed proper stadium in Vegas that might never be finished. That being said, it's really annoying that this movie ignores the fact that the A's had legit star players in their lineup to begin with. The movie makes it look like Beane took a AAAA team and turned them into a contender, it totally ignores that their rotation was fucking phenomenal. Also, does the movie even mention Tejada? I don't remember him at all, half the film was about Chris Pratt playing the scrappy converted 1st baseman who hit a pinch hit homer. Granted, Tejada later got a massive suspension for steroid related shit, but you can't leave that out of your heroic team's story if he was you star shortstop. It would be like telling the story of the '09 Yankees and omitting A-Rod.
>>223423408'the natural' book is very interesting. the movie adaptation is very different and kind of flat.
>>223420629birds don't suicide into windmills, whales don't get beached.if anything kills birds its glass that's too clean
>>223421261>How come the only good sports movies are about baseball?i would say the fewest good movies about a sport are about baseball.
>>223427206Yeah
The entire second half of this slapstick comedy takes place during a six-day indoor bike race. It's like "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" with corny sight gags. Joe E. Brown plays a Sandleresque jerk.
>>223430622IAYC
>>223424783>quirk chungus
>>223430766>the team was forced to leave Oakland without a single trophysource?
>>223419913Went to the Mets v Nats game last night. It was really fun. 30000 people were at a completely pointless game
>>223430976The A's currently play in Sacramento, and are approved to move to Las Vegas if/when a new stadium is built there. They never won the World Series in Oakland.
>>223431011based
>>223431078they won 4 championships in oakland. they even threepeated in the 70s.
>>223431011The Nats are a lot like the Rockies. The team sucks, but there are so many transplants in the city and the stadium has a nice vibe so they can still draw big crowds.
>>223419913there ain'ti checkedto be fair americans (and japanese) don't need any movies, they can just go to the game and have some peanuts or hotdog and talk to their cunny bunny in a baseball cap>>223419936I liked this movie since it came out and only last year I actually encrypted how that game is played (ironically by playing it)
>>223431190You know that I meant after Moneyball, don't be a dick.
>>223431144Those are great seats
>>223419974Guess you had a good relationship with your father or never cared about him. That movie absolutely kills my dad because his dad was barely a part of his life. And in turn it kills me because I really do love my dad and know how much his dad hurt him.
>>223431200There were a ton of Mets fans there and since it was Friday a bunch of hot girls were there all dressed up which surprised me
>>223431225I really didn't. you said they left Oakland without a trophy which is false. it's all good tho.
>>223431251I mean from what I remember of my miserable college years in DC, there wasn't exactly a ton to do most weekends. Wouldn't surprise me if the coeds started going to baseball games.
>>223430766It really emphasizes the utter corporate soullessness of American "sports" that it's a regular practice for teams to just up and relocate to the other side of the country. Thanks a lot fans, but fuck you and bye!
>>223431737>>223430766>asshole PSH was the actual heromany such cases
I love baseball and I hate to report moneyball might be the best despite not being a good baseball movie. There just aren't any good movies about baseball that are also good movies. I haven't seen the Tommy Lee Jones Cobb film but of all the classics I found most of them boring. A league of their own is comfy I guess>>223420693I agree soundtrack was so incredible
>>223432159you didn't like major league?
For me it's Ping Pong.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04aZ3zbSR98
>>223423408Thank god I was scrolling for way to long to see this mentioned
>>223419936first post WORST post
>>223420693Why was this forgotten so quickly? I genuinely believe it’s one of the best movies ever. It’s the best movie in the last 10 or so years
>>223432410No one cares about jewish bullshit
>>223431362Dc social life is incredibly stuck up and stifling compared to all the other places I've lived
>DON'T YOU WANNA BEAT THOSE BASTARDS?!?!>.....It's a shame /tv/ usually goes no further than the "jews, spics, niggers" line, there's so much more heart to this one>>223431011The pointlessness of baseball is one of its best qualities. I've come to conclude that enjoying the game is really an exercise with being okay with one's existence. It's not for escaping the troubles of life, but facing up to them. I pity soccer fans going off about "passion", I just see it as frantic desperation.
>>223432410First off, I didn't think it was that good.Second, Marty is a very unlikable character.
>>223432329This is great.If someone is considering watching this, don't let the animation fool you, it's an art style not bad animation.
>>223432615It's definitely a contender for one of the greatest anime ever made. A shame that so many people won't ever watch it because "it's a cartoon" or because the art style is unique.
>>223432615>>223432774Maybe I'll give it a shot, but this art style is repulsive
>>223430853Yeah I felt the film was a bit flat as well, how did the book differ?
Bad news bears, the set up, the champ, football in silents is more fun, with minimal bulk. Wc fields playing billiards (parlor trick but still a sport)
I might be the only person on Earth that liked 'Major League II'. Most of the criticism is that it was predictable having the players let their success go to their heads. Yes, that's a predictable outcome since that's human nature, especially for people in their position. Not everything has to be extremely novel to be a worthwhile story. The character growth to overcome their egos was worthwhile.
>>223419913For me, it's One Outs
>>223434410I kinda like it just because of the familiar characters, but it's not a great movie.michelle burke a cute.
>>223430381i never understood this grotesque stadium food trend. Who the fuck is actually ordering/eating this shit. Is it really for the girlfriends to post on social media?
>>223419913This fell flat for me because they didn’t even really do anything that special. Like they got eliminated from the post season instantly. There were probably better comeback stories in baseballs history but instead they went with these losing homos who will never win a World Series ever again
I don't really mind any sports but soccer is just so incredibly feminine and gay that it bothers me to watch it.
>>223424783For me this last scene ruined an otherwise fantastic movie.
>>223427296That's not the point, retard. They had to think outside the box to replace free agents that they couldn't outbid teams like NYY and Boston. Those pitchers were also drafted and developed by the A's. You must have been one of those people who thought the moral of the story was "OBP is the most important thing in baseball". My dogs name is Zito btw, fuck you.
>>223436266To expand on this, the impact of Moneyball (for better or worse) has been shown by the fact that the absolute richest teams (Doyers and Yankees) hired away all of the executives of broke teams like the A's and Rays and put them in charge of everything. Stuff like the shift (which is gone now, at least), launch angle, launch velocity and other niche stats have taken off in the past decade.

how do we feel about the benchwarmers?
Not a baseball movie, per se, but one of the greatest baseballs on film.
>>223421261There's a good cricket film (documentary) called The Edge (2019).
Imagine the stank.
>>223432251Totally forgot about that one. As a brewers fan this is the best movie possible, weird as I just watched it a few months ago again and it holds up. This is actually the answer

>>223439890whomst, then?
>>223419913Watched this a second time last night and I still don't get why people like this movie so much. It felt too long, i didn't care about Brad Pitt's daughter, and I didn't care about the team.
>>223441236dunno, but he was distractingly too old and fat at the time. maybe gandolfini.
>>223434410>>223435777I think what bothers me about it, is how it's set the next season from the first. Should have been like 5-6 years later, like how it was released, and things would have made more sense. And done more with the story.>michelle burke a cuteIndeed, this, Coneheads, and Dazed and Confused she was peak.
