Default Favourite Baseball Movie

I just finished watching the '94 hit Little Big League. While that is definitely not my favorite of all time, it got me thinking. There is a lot of good baseball movies out there.

Even though this site revolves around hockey, there is quite a few baseball fans on this site. As per the title, what is everyone's favorite out there?
Right now, I'm trying to think of what my all-time fav is, and just can't pick one...



MODS: should this be in the other sports forum?

Bull Durham no question is head and shoulders above the rest. 8 Men Out though is also very good, as is Field of Dreams.

61* is very under-rated.

Field of Dreams and Sandlot are about a tie for me.

Visiting the actual Field of Dreams location is pretty disappointing though, as its a little too commercialized.

Major League, but also that one where one of the kids from American Pie ended up becoming the closer for the Twins. Daniel Stern was in it and he`s usually funny....MVP or something like that.....Hosengardner

Rookie of the Year.

It was the Cubs.

It was Rowengardner.

I looked it up... this isn't from memory.

Sandlot is the only other baseball movie that comes close to Bull Durham.
