Without a doubt, Field of Dreams. It doesn't get any better than one.

Honorable mentions: For Love of the Game, Eight Men Out, The Rookie, Bull Durham, Cobb.

Someone else mentioned Soul of the Game. I just saw this for the first time last weekend. It's wasn't a blockbuster, but its worth seeing.

A League of Their Own
Major League
Field of Dreams
Bull Durham
Soul of the Game
Baseball by Ken Burns
Sandlot
Eight Men Out

Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
A League of Their Own
Eight Men Out
The Sandlot

Bull Durham - the conference on the mound is hilarious. "we're dealing with a lot of s#€t!".

I'm also a fan of Cobb, accurate or inaccurate, it's a great movie.

The Final Season starring Rudy (Sean Astin) was a good one also.

Great line in "Modern Family" episode that aired last night.
Q: "What did we learn from "A League of Their Own"?
A: "That there's no crying in baseball?"
Reply: No, that Madonna can't act."

A League of Their Own is my all time favorite. Just so many great lines and Hanks is terrific. "Wow! Avoid the clap... Jimmy Dugan" "That's good advice."

"It Happens Every Spring"

Bang the Drum Slowly.

Thanks Eric! When Moonlight Graham's name appeared on the scoreboard at Fenway, I got chills-and still do! Phenominal part of the movie. Take care!

Field of Dreams for me.

Sister-in-law: Ray, You don't even rotate your crops.
Ray: What's a crop?

A few years ago I sent away for a Field of Dreams coffie mug with the corn field pictured on it. When you put coffee in the mug the players appear and come out of the field.

NICE!! Do you happen to remember where you got that from? I would love to own one!

EDIT:
found it :)

Bang the Drum Slowly was a good one. Does anyone remember the name of the card game they played and what the name was short for? (Random trivia)

Steve,
Can't remember nor can I find the site. I'll keep looking.

*61

Too many,
 

The Natural
Field of Dreams
Pride of the Yankees

As an adult:
Ken Burns' Baseball
Moneyball

As a kid:
Rookie of the Year
Ferris Bueller
Angels in the Outfield

Regarding Ferris Bueller, I realized a life-long dream last year. While in town for the Chicago National, I went to my first Cubs game. The first words to come out of my mouth when I sat down were "Heeeeeeeeeeeey Batter, batter, batter, batter, swing, batter. He can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit, he can't hit, swing, batter." I can't wait til next year!

You name, I'll watch it - if its got baseball in it...

Pastime (1990) is a superb baseball movie. Seek it out.

61 and Sandlot

For me:

The Natural
Damn Yankees
Bull Durham

the card game in Bang the Drum Slowly was Tegwar. The game had no rules (the name of the game had something to do with this)

Tegwar: The Exciting Game Without Any Rules.

Glad to see that I am not the only one to retain such important facts. Most times, I can not tell you what color the shirt I am wearing is without peaking, but movie trivia and baseball stats from half a lifetime ago still fill my head.:D

League of Their Own
Field of Dreams

The Natural, hands down...though Moneyball is my new favorite film. Can't go wrong with either, really.

I was also shot at Milwaukee County Stadium. I almost went to be an extra during the shooting. I should have done it. But I was only 17 at the time.

Hi Ted--

I've seen The Stratton Story several times. The actor who played the scout who found Stratton was also the Wizard of Oz.

Barnstorming
 

Always wished I coulda barnstormed, guess that's why Bingo Long is my favorite picture.
James Earl Jones was quite a hitter in this flick, but what other movie(s) will you find him slugging the ball?

'The Great White Hope' - though he played the boxer Jack Johnson, he suited up as a hopefully anonymous Negro League player to evade police. He wasn't actually shown hitting a baseball in that roll, but if memory serves, he swung a bat in response to questions of how he would defend himself.

James Earl Jones
 

In the Sayle's movie Matewan I believe Jones plays baseball while waiting out the coal strike.

No one mentioned Brewster's Millions yet with Richard Pryor and John Candy?

"There's no crying in baseball!"...League of Their Own followed by Sandlot. 42 was good also.

Some of these baseball movies that have been mentioned are real classics. There are 2 movies nobody has mentioned: Safe at Home which starred Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris & The Pride Of St. Louis, which was story about Dizzy Dean. However, The Pride of the Yankees has to be the the #1 classic, since the Babe starred in the movie despite a great performance by Gary Cooper.
