Yet another list…

December 27, 2007

Film critic Richard Roeper’s best and worst baseball films of all time:

Best
(In order of preference)		 Worst
(In alpha order*)
The Natural The Babe
Bull Durham The Babe Ruth Story
Field of Dreams The Bad News Bears Go to Japan
Bang the Drum Slowly The Fan
Pride of the Yankees Fear Strikes Out
Major League Major League: Back to the Minors
  The Slugger’s Wife

* because the author says at some point, awful is just awful.

From 10 Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed & Other Surprising Movie Lists, Hyperion, 2003.

These have been culled from Roeper’s lists of all-time best and worst sports movies. There have been a few additional baseball films since this book came out. At the risk of speaking out of turn, I would venture to add The Rookie to the “best” side while some might put the remake of The Bad News Bears in the “worst” category.
