Funny movie. And I was thinking of it recently when watching "Blades of Glory." But not quite among the all-time greats.

I would add Slapshot.

Good list. I had forgotten about "Eight Men Out" and "61*" even though I own the latter. I always pause when "Major League" is on cable (and there's a new DVD edition out soon).

Don't get me wrong, Rocky and Raging Bull were great movies, but the baseball movies are the best to me. Bull Durham or The Natural have to be the best sports movies ever made, IMO. Million Dollar Baby deserved a spot as well. Also, as an Indians fan, Major League has a place on my list as well. Other omissions that at least merited discussion: 61*, Eight Men Out, and Seabiscuit (if horse racing counts).
