"Field of Dreams"

Can't watch the scene in which he has a catch with his dad at the end without tearing up. Visited the actual field in Dyersville, Iowa. Was driving across country with a buddy and stumbled across it. You could rent a bat, ball, and a couple gloves for a few bucks. Very cool, though my friend couldn't hit a ball if his life depended on it, so I ended up standing in the outfield by the corn with my glove, while he stood at home plate with the bat and swung and missed about 35 times in a row.

"The Natural"

Love the batting practice scene with the home runs ricocheting off the empty seats in the distance.

"Bull Durham"

Great flick. Trey Wilson (the manager) was a heckuva character actor, it's a shame he died so young.

"Major League"

"How's your wife and my kids?" Great line, spoken by one of the only real baseball players in the movie (Pete Vuckovich)

"Take Me Out to the Ballgame"

A 1949 Gene Kelly/Frank Sinatra musical set around the turn of the century. The baseball scenes aren't too realistic, but they're fun.
