League of Their Own
Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna star in this major-league comedy from the team that brought you BIG. Hanks stars as Jimmy Dugan, a washed-up ball player whose big league days are over. Hired to coach in the All-American Girls Baseball League of 1943-while the male pros are at war-Dugan finds himself drawn back into the game by the heart and heroics of his "all-girl" team. Jon Lovitz adds a scene-stealing cameo as the sarcastic scout who recruits Dottie Hanson (Davis), the "baseball dolly" with a Babe Ruth swing. Teammates Madonna, Lori Petty and Rosie O'Donnell round out the roster, taking the team to the World Series. Based on the true story of the pioneering women who blazed the trail for generations of athletes, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN is "a home run."
Natural
Nominated for four Academy Awards®, including Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography in 1984, and considered by many to be one of the greatest sports films of all time, The Natural is an inspiring fable of determination and redemption.
From acclaimed director Barry Levinson, and featuring an all-star cast, including Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, Glenn Close and Kim Basinger, The Natural follows the epic journey of Roy Hobbs. A once-promising ballplayer on his way to stardom in the big leagues, Hobbs finds his dreams shattered when a mysterious woman and a silver bullet end his career prematurely. Sixteen years later, Hobbs, armed with his childhood bat "Wonderboy," finds himself coming back to baseball, joining the roster of the lowly New York Knights. Can Hobbs overcome physical pain - and nefarious around him - to lead the Knights to the pennant?
