FRIDAY FAMILY FILM NIGHTFriday Family Film Night: BULL DURHAM reviewIn which Kid 1 joins me in reviewing BULL DURHAM (1988), from writer/director Ron Shelton. The film centers on the minor-league baseball team, the Durham Bulls, where veteran catcher Crash Davis (Kevin Costner) is assigned to mentor Ebby Calvin LaLoosh (Tim Robbins), a talented but wildly undisciplined pitching prospect. Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon), a local baseball groupie who chooses one player each season to initiate and educate, selects the young pitcher, leading to a complicated love triangle involving Crash.

Mark's MoviesBull DurhamThis is it. This is the pinnacle of baseball movies. As it is the pinnacle of baseball movies, it is the pinnacle of sports movies. Not in a sports way but in a movies way. This, like THE SANDLOT (which you listened to that episode, right? It's back in season 2 or whatever), has no big game. It's about more than baseball but baseball is both the frame and the delivery mechanism. Baseball teaches us about life so often--as a sport where succeeding 1/3 of the time is hugely successful will--and it has more than just baseball. This is BULL DURHAM.
