No 'Bull'

"Bull Durham" doesn't deserve its place in the pantheon of great sports movies. Or so I thought. Then, I reviewed the 20th anniversary release of the baseball romance and changed my mind. Totally. Check out Donne Tempo for the breakdown of the new disk release. The extras, for a change, are worth your time.

You're damn skippy it's a great movie. It's a romance set to sports-- not a sports flick. But it is one of the purest baseball movies out there. Tope four baseball movies of all time: Bull Durham, The Natural, Field of Dreams, Major League. In that order. God I love spring.

Major League was far better than it had any right to be, but don't forget "Eight Men Out." That's another beaut. But the funniest baseball moment remains Leslie Nielsen calling strike three on a hitter before the ball crosses the plate in "The Naked Gun." Great stuff. Nielsen in his prime.
