The critics didn't like "For Love of the Game" too much, but I think it is one of the three or four greatest baseball movies ever made. Something for everyone.
This feels like the most aimed at adults G rated movie I've ever seen. Secondhand Lions is another movie that definitely plays different when you get older but a true classic.
Dennis Quaid is such a phenomenal actor along with everyone who is in this movie.. this one definitely hit me deeply…. The love theyvall have for each other
As a Rays fan I had a definite interest in this movie, but unfortunately, Quaid really wasn't interested in the role other than it being work and largely mailed in his performance. Extremely disappointing showing from him.
@kenkonwick6660 You obviously never played baseball beyond the age of 12, or you'd know that Bull Durham is the most realistic baseball movie of all time.
Hi guys. Jim played his 1st game at 35 yrs old. Dennis was not in Field of Dreams. The real life Jim Morris actually has a cameo in the movie. He is in the credits as Tampa umpire #2.
I think y’all will love “McFarland, USA” and “Miracle”. Both are true stories… one an Olympic greatness with Kurt Russell and the other a cross country movie with Kevin Costner. I’d bet you both LOVE them both. Hope all is well.
Similar to Jim Morris' wife pushing him to remain in baseball, when Nolan Ryan was with the NY Mets at the beginning of his career, he was not doing well and thought about quitting, his wife, Ruth, talked him into staying with baseball. When he retired after 26 years, he held 51 records.
That is not true. Nolan Ryan never wanted to quit baseball or the Mets. He felt the Mets gave up on him when they traded him and he was angry at it for years until got a better understanding of the business side of baseball. Nolan Ryan does currently hold 51 MLB records and most are strike out records. And he holds the record of most career no hitters at 7. The next closet is Sandy Koufax at 4. But he never considered quitting baseball. Ryan was a man who was not a quitter and would get pissed off if he was even taken out of a game or like once when he told his manger when he was with the Rangers when the manager was going to take him out if the game, I may not be throwing as good right now but I am still 10 times better than any of of those mother F'ers you got warming up in the bull pen. Nolan Ryan was not a quiiter and never considered it.
and they might recognize "Mooch"(Jackie Earle Haley)from the 1976 version of "The Bad News Bears" and "Cyrill"(Daniel Stern)from "Home Alone"/"Home Alone 2".
Not a sports movie but just saw the news that Dabney Coleman has passed away at age 92 (RIP) and thought I'd recommend you guys check out "Nine To Five" the movie he starred in with Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. It's a wonderful comedy I know you guys would love!
As a Texas high school coach's kid, this movie hits a lot of soft spots for me. I love that we got to see your first time reaction to it. Im shocked that you hadn't seen it before!
BTW, the hair is to keep the deer away with a human smell. My family used to put hair from the barber shop into old panty hose and hang in the trees around the pea field. 😀
This movie tugs at my heart strings. I love stories about second chances, and there's something compelling about a humble, caring parent wanting to get their family ahead.
That's because their coach was throwing faster than any high school pitcher. To them, the other team's balls were so easy to spot and swing for compared what their coach was throwing their way.
One of my favorite movies, no matter how many times I watch it, it never gets old. Invincible is another one. Two more I never get tired of are “Secretariat” with Diane Lane and “The Blind Side” with Sandra Bullock. Both true stories. In case you haven’t seen them, they are awesome. Oh, and also “Radio” with Cuba Gooding Jr, and “Remember the Titans” with Denzel Washington - great movies also. Another very interesting true baseball movie is “61*” with Barry Pepper. I enjoyed watching this one with ya. ❤
This is the last movie I took my dad to, before he passed away. Great memory. I remember reading about Jimmy Morris in Sports Illustrated when he first went to AA ball.
Jimmy was 35 at this point of his iife, in 1999 Like that Devil Ray scout said at the tryout, he was there when Jimmy was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the early 80s; he signed but never took off because of the arm injuries he suffered He tried and failed to move up in the minors for a couple of teams in the late 80s After being released for the second time, no one else signed Jimmy, so he called it quits It's a funny thing how your past catches up to you in a GOOD way
As others have mentioned, 'The Natural' is a great sports movie. 'Any Given Sunday' is also very enjoyable. 'Million Dollar Baby' will bring a tear to your eye. And slightly off-beat, mainly a character comedy about amateur cycling, 'Breaking Away'.
I remember him pitching pretty well. Back then throwing 98 was nowhere near as common as it is now, so there's no way he wasn't going to get brought up to the bigs. But truly the definition of 'flash in the pan'. Once guys caught up to his stuff, he didn't have any other go-to pitches. A real life "Natural"
I remember him coming up I was in college at the time. I believe he had injury problems again. I don't think it was so much a only having 1 pitch issue. I believe he had multiple. They just focus on his heater, because left-handed relievers were often specialists. They might only come in for a couple batters, usually brought in to face a good left handed batter because a lot of lefty's struggle to hit left-handed pitchers.
Yep. Much like Joel Zumaya, who came a few years later as the hardest-throwing pitcher to date (unless you believe the Nolan Ryan rumors), the juice only has so many squeezes before it runs dry. Gotta have a second pitch, unless you're the Sandman himself.
@@tripleoo0 good one! A long since forgotten phenom. And yet even Mo had to start throwing a 2-seamer later in his career, but that's when his velocity started to slip and the juice started to run dry
Great sports movies: Bull Durham (baseball) Slap Shot (hockey) Seabiscuit (horse racing) Major League (baseball) We Are Marshall (football) Miracle (hockey) Secretariat (horse racing) Remember the Titans (football)
If you want to see Costner as Wyatt Earp and Quaid, as doc Holliday, their movie came out the same year AsTombstone. I don’t know how well it did in comparison. It had enjoyable parts, but Costner’s Earp seem to be A much more cold version and Quaid was a great Doc Holliday(Who was always the more entertaining anyway) down to his physical changes which were stunning! (Tough but I still love Val Kilmer!). You can also see Quaid in a Great movie “The Right Stuff” About early NASA.
Love your channels. Another good movie with Dennis Quade is Frequency. It’s one of the few movies that made my Dad and I cry. Maybe a good movie for Father’s Day. All the best take care
Guys, come on!!!!!! This is a great movie, but everybody is missing out on the greatest sports movie ever made. If you haven't seen "Miracle", it's an absolute must. It's a true story and brought this country together like a select few events in time have.
Far more entertaining than that film is the documentary with the actual team called "Miracle on Ice." Interviews with Brooks, Eruzione, Craig, McClanahan, Schneider, et al are included. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Cheers....
Baseball by Ken Burns, a PBS multi-episode documentary is a GREAT documentary on…baseball, it’s history. The original was nine “innings” and went from conception to 1994. Several years later Ken Burns revisited Baseball and created “Extra Innings” that talks about PEDs, how baseball came back from the brink with McGwire and Sosa and how Latin America has made an impact on MLB. Great documentary.
Hey guys it wasn’t Dennis Quaid in Field of dreams it was Kevin Costner Dennis Quaid was in the day after tomorrow I believe it was along with many other movies
I was trying to remember the movie the Robs saw Dennis Quaid in recently. It may have been The Day After Tomorrow. I remember the same little mix-up with Costner then, too. :~)
61* (2001). A great baseball movie, that got limited exposure at the time, because it was an HBO exclusive. Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle race to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record.
Another very heartwarming and funny film sports based film I think you guys would love is COOL RUNNINGS, starring the late great John Candy , its loosely based on the Jamaican Bob Sled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics....
That's not Jimmy Morris. That guy is actor Blue Deckert. Jimmy Morris does have a cameo in this movie though. He's one of the umpires for the Orlando game.
Dennis Quaid has been in tons of movies, but since you have kiddos you probably know him best from The Parent Trap, he's the dad. I hope you get a chance to watch "Frequency" with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. You'll love it!
Excellent! Almost nobody even knows this movie, let alone reacts to it on YT...so happy to see such a good vibes channel react to this good vibes movie. It is one of my favorite sports movies, so I hope these guys absolutely love it.
Dennis Quaid was not in Field of Dreams. Kevin Costner was. Dennis Quaid was in The remake of the Parent Trap. Also "The Day after Tomorrow" "Wyatt Earp" "Innerspace"
And of course, with his brother Randy as the Miller Bros as part of the Jesse James Gang in the awesome Western, THE LONG RIDERS, along with other brothers playing brothers. Highly recommended
The hair on the field wasn’t so deer “wouldn’t get hair in their mouth”! Lol. It was so the sent of humans would scare off the deer. It was about the smell! I doubt deer care if they get hair in their mouths as long as they’re eating seeds too! Lol.
His Dad gave him the best advice a father could give: "It's ok to do what you want to do in life, until the time comes to do what you were meant to do." He basically told him that he was meant to be a Major-League pitcher and to go for it. I've told my own daughter this and tell people that it's my mantra as I found it to be true in my life as well...excelling at a job I never thought I would even enjoy or could do.
Tbh, I'm not sure if that's how his father meant it, though. I always took that line as him saying that it was fine for him to do it as perhaps a hobby, but it wasn't what he was meant to do, or it wasn't realistic. His father was never really interested or supportive of his love for baseball, and after he said that, he followed it with, "That may not be what you wanted to hear," and Jimmy was noticeably frustrated because he was feeling like no one was really being supportive of this opportunity, and in the following scene when he's back home venting to Lori, he says "I think that man lies in bed at night, just thinking of the one thing he can say that'll hurt the most," and Lori says, "Maybe he was right," and then they get into an argument. Maybe that's just me, but that was always what I understood that scene to be. Although, to be fair, as I'm typing this, I guess it's possible that Jimmy turned that around and said, "This is what I'm meant to do." Idk, just my 2 cents, lol.
I love this movie - 'you know what we get to do today, we get to play baseball.' Such a sweet story. May I please add that hardly anyone has reacted to Waking Ned Devine - such a sweet hilarious fun movie full of great music. Maybe you could add this to your list. I just know you'll love it.
My favorite sport movie is (The Greatest Game Ever Played ) I'm not a golf guy but this movie is great, a true story too. Not just about the game but about the division of class, working hard in life, and the relationship of family
I'll bet you haven't seen The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. It stars the man who every kid wanted to be before they ever heard of Michael Jordan...the legendary Julius (Dr J) Irving. He was my top basketball hero growing up and he revolutionized the sport of basketball with dynamic moves that had never been see before. It's a comedy movie, but also has some fun basketball action in it.
This is one of my favorite baseball movies, if not my absolute favorite I first saw it in the theater on spring break in Florida with my dad, who took me to see it, along with my uncle and brother I was 7 at the time, about to turn 8 the next month at that point, so I was just getting old enough to recognize what went on in the game of baseball and started to follow my team, the Atlanta Braves
1979 Breaking Away starring a very young Dennis Quaid. A group of Town Kids take on The Rich College kids in an awesome Bike Race/Buddy/Family Movie with an awesome script & amazing performances all around is a total feel-good David vs Goliath movie!!!
My wife grew up on the TX/NM border, literally. She graduated from Texico High, NM, and moved three blocks away to Farwell, TX. It was less than an hour from where my dad was born & raised (Morton/Levelland) before he moved to Ohio to work the orchards with his family as a teenager. I love this movie, because of the message of never giving up on a dream, the nostalgia for small town USA, and the great actors in it. “For the Love of the Game” is another great baseball movie, staring Keven Costner. And I think you’d love “Innerspace” if you loved Dennis Quaid in this one.
One of my favorite sport movies. There are so many true stories that Hollywood could never write better. Sport movies are the best way to bring out the best of people. I can relate to this. I`ve coached almost 30 years and now in my 60`s, those times were and still are the greatest. When he watched that Little League game and saw the boy outfielder, I felt what he felt.
For J's Saturday nights, all in black and white: "The Babe Ruth Story" (1948), "The Pride of the Yankees" (1942, Lou Gehrig story), "The Pride of St. Louis" (1952, Dizzy Dean story), "The Jackie Robinson story (1950), "The Stratton Story" (1949, Monty Stratton story), "The Winning Team" (1952, Grover Cleveland Alexander story).
My son was in the boyscouts. One night after the game at Tropicana field. It was boyscout night. We got are sleeping bags and sleep on the field. And watch the rookie on the the big screen.
Slap Shot should be your next sports movie. Hysterical look at professional hockey back in the 70s. The clothes and music are awesome. The great paul Newman stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I coached a little league team in Plano many years ago when this came out. Jim Morris (or his kids were) was a pediatric customer of one of our dads. He gave him a break on some dental work for him to come out to one of our practices and speak to the kids. I think the parents were more in awe.
You’ve seen Kevin Costner in the second of his amazing baseball trilogy. You need to catch up with him in Bull Durham (earliest) and also For Love of the Game (last). Excellent movies both!
“Money Ball” is another great baseball movie that actually includes real clips from the season that the movie is based on. It’s definitely worth a reaction. Side note: if you like basketball movies I recommend “Eddie” it stars Whoopi Goldberg and has a bunch of cameos from real NBA players. It probably won’t get many views but the soundtrack is 🤌🤌🤌
Hey guys! You still have another Star Wars movie to watch; it’s called Solo. It tells the story of young Han Solo. Also, you still have Rocky V (1990) and Rocky Balboa (2006). Then, there are the three Creed movies.
This movie was written by eastern Oregon native Mike Rich. I highly recommend his first movie also, especially since you guys are educators , "Finding Forrester".
Great movie...so emotional.. You guys should check out Dennis Quaid in "Frequency". It's a Sci-fi dramatic thriller with a storyline like no other movies. A lot of unexpected twists, with a great cast and great feel good ending.
This was my first watch of you. I just loved that you reacted to the Rookie. It's one of my favorite movies and an underated one to me, one you don't see a lot of reactions to. I loved your take on it and definitely can tell you both are sports fans!
I haven’t watched this reaction yet because I want to see The Rookie first. Another movie about an older pro sports rookie is Invincible, about Vince Papale, a bartender who beats the odds to become an NFL player.
I'm happy this is up! 😁 I rank this movie up with field of dreams as the best baseball movies, along with the best inspirational movies in general Moral is you're never too late to see dreams come true
I have some sports movies for Jay that he probably hasn't seen: Victory (soccer) Heart Like A Wheel (drag racing) Greased Lightning (NASCAR) Rollerball (roller derby, kind of) North Dallas Forty (NFL) 61* (baseball) Fast Break (basketball)
The year Jimmy Morris started pitching to the players during practice , the players said later in life that during the games they played in , when the opposition pitcher threw the ball it was like they were seeing a basketball and not a baseball
If y'all want more sports movies that you probably haven't seen that are great, try Tin Cup, 42, Secretariat, We are Marshall, Happy Gilmore, Miracle, Rudy, The Best of Times, Million Dollar Baby, Ford vs Ferrari, and I'll stop there because there are so many lol
You guys like stories based on true events. Well, I'm going to list a couple of my favorites for you to consider... Sully.....with Tom Hanks. Cinderella Man....with Russell Crowe and/or Unstoppable....with Denzel Washington. All 3 are great movies based on true events
You guys are not wrong about us Texans and our sports, I’ve lived in Houston when Oilers sold to Tennessee and got to help host the Texans first 2 season Home games as part of my JROTC years, and saw many Astro home games as well. And now currently in Lubbock where we have Texas Tech and UT rivals and as well as LCU and Midland baseball as huge sporting attractions here. So much fun to watch these games and the town spirits come to life! lol
The one thing I love about this movie is how it shows a huge thing can come out of absolutely nothing That piece of land that the nuns bought in faith of that unknown man's belief of oil had the biggest strike of it that part of Texas ever saw (according to the story) and it all was born at the site of a DIY baseball field in the middle of that giant acreage and the players had their own faith that they'd leave that "sandlot" oil field and go on to bigger goals and feel like kings The "middle of nowhere" cliche was given a facelift in this story and it challenges the notion of an insignificant person or object being of no value (also probably Hollywood spicing things up) but still a worthwhile idea to think about And seeing that allegory play out in Jimmy's journey to "bless the town of Big Lake one more time" is a nice touch
Consider watching ‘Soul of the Game’, if you can find it. The story of Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson in the Negro League in 1945 at the time that Jackie was called to the Majors. Josh Gibson was a beast!
10:00 My high school didnt have baseball either. Only sport I liked and made me feel appreciated couldnt wait for summer for town ball. "You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time".
Dennis Quaid is not the guy from Field of Dreams, that was Kevin Costner.
They look similar.
@@blackblake3658They don't look similar at all!
I was just about to say that 😊👍🏾
@@ScreamingWereWolfThey look similar. If you were to tell me they were brothers, I wouldn’t think it odd.
Thank you. I thought my head was going to explode. And they even watched Dances with Wolves.
"The Natural" with Robert Redford and Robert Duvall is one of my all time favorite baseball movies.
Greatest movie about baseball ever!!!!
👍 One of Robert Redford's best IMO.
Yes it is, I still get chills every time at the ending
Excellent movie!!! Hopefully they see your comment.
Just watched that today a great movie!
"For Love of the Game" starring Kevin Costner and "The Natural" starring Robert Redford. Classics.
This one is a great movie!
For love of the game, I mean. The Natural us pretty good too
The critics didn't like "For Love of the Game" too much, but I think it is one of the three or four greatest baseball movies ever made. Something for everyone.
@cliffendicott7832 yeah they thought it was a bit cheesy. It dies have its moments, but the premise is a good one
This feels like the most aimed at adults G rated movie I've ever seen. Secondhand Lions is another movie that definitely plays different when you get older but a true classic.
Oh YES, Second Hand Lions is Awesome.
I highly recommend Secondhand Lions!!! You will love it ❤!!
Kevin Costner was lead in Field of Dreams
Dennis Quaid is such a phenomenal actor along with everyone who is in this movie..
this one definitely hit me deeply…. The love theyvall have for each other
As a Rays fan I had a definite interest in this movie, but unfortunately, Quaid really wasn't interested in the role other than it being work and largely mailed in his performance. Extremely disappointing showing from him.
Bull durham(1988) Kevin Costner
Was never a fan if Bull Durham. Way too ridiculous even for a comedy
@kenkonwick6660 You obviously never played baseball beyond the age of 12, or you'd know that Bull Durham is the most realistic baseball movie of all time.
Hi guys. Jim played his 1st game at 35 yrs old. Dennis was not in Field of Dreams. The real life Jim Morris actually has a cameo in the movie. He is in the credits as Tampa umpire #2.
I think y’all will love “McFarland, USA” and “Miracle”. Both are true stories… one an Olympic greatness with Kurt Russell and the other a cross country movie with Kevin Costner. I’d bet you both LOVE them both. Hope all is well.
Oh Yes. I forgot to mention McFarland. With Amber being a runner , I think she really will love it.
Was coming here to comment McFarland too!!
Similar to Jim Morris' wife pushing him to remain in baseball, when Nolan Ryan was with the NY Mets at the beginning of his career, he was not doing well and thought about quitting, his wife, Ruth, talked him into staying with baseball. When he retired after 26 years, he held 51 records.
That is not true. Nolan Ryan never wanted to quit baseball or the Mets. He felt the Mets gave up on him when they traded him and he was angry at it for years until got a better understanding of the business side of baseball.
Nolan Ryan does currently hold 51 MLB records and most are strike out records. And he holds the record of most career no hitters at 7. The next closet is Sandy Koufax at 4.

Nolan Ryan was not a quiiter and never considered it.
Another sports film with Dennis Quaid is Breaking Away. It combines coming of age themes with bicycle racing, and was his fifth screen appearance.
Yes, yes, I heartily upvote Breaking Away !
Cutters!!!!
I've been wanting them to react to Breaking Away forever.
and they might recognize "Mooch"(Jackie Earle Haley)from the 1976 version of "The Bad News Bears" and "Cyrill"(Daniel Stern)from "Home Alone"/"Home Alone 2".
And a cast-member from Beverly Hills Cop.
Not a sports movie but just saw the news that Dabney Coleman has passed away at age 92 (RIP) and thought I'd recommend you guys check out "Nine To Five" the movie he starred in with Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. It's a wonderful comedy I know you guys would love!
Another great Dabney Coleman movie forgotten over the years is Cloak & Dagger.
As a Texas high school coach's kid, this movie hits a lot of soft spots for me. I love that we got to see your first time reaction to it. Im shocked that you hadn't seen it before!
oMg --- THE SANDLOT is A MUST SEE "baseball" movie. Absolutely.
Yes! Such a great movie! One of my favorites. ❤
The best baseball movie because it's about ball, not pro ball
BTW, the hair is to keep the deer away with a human smell. My family used to put hair from the barber shop into old panty hose and hang in the trees around the pea field. 😀
This movie tugs at my heart strings. I love stories about second chances, and there's something compelling about a humble, caring parent wanting to get their family ahead.
In real life the Owls said why they improved so much was because of the batting practice against their coach.
That's because their coach was throwing faster than any high school pitcher. To them, the other team's balls were so easy to spot and swing for compared what their coach was throwing their way.
"The Natural"
A great baseball movie about redemption.
I am a baseball player in this movie gets me every time thanks for showing this movie nobody else has
One of my favorite movies, no matter how many times I watch it, it never gets old. Invincible is another one. Two more I never get tired of are “Secretariat” with Diane Lane and “The Blind Side” with Sandra Bullock. Both true stories. In case you haven’t seen them, they are awesome.

This was one of my absolute favorites, Dennis Quaid always delivers.
This is the last movie I took my dad to, before he passed away. Great memory. I remember reading about Jimmy Morris in Sports Illustrated when he first went to AA ball.
I’m an Army Brat moved every year-2 years plus I’m a Army Veteran served 14yrs
The reason for spreading human hair is the smell. Wild animals will avoid the smell and not cross into the field where the grass is growing.
Beth Grant, who plays Jimmy’s mom, is one of my favorite character actresses. She always draws my eye when she’s on screen, even in small roles.
Jimmy was 35 at this point of his iife, in 1999
Like that Devil Ray scout said at the tryout, he was there when Jimmy was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the early 80s; he signed but never took off because of the arm injuries he suffered
He tried and failed to move up in the minors for a couple of teams in the late 80s
After being released for the second time, no one else signed Jimmy, so he called it quits
It's a funny thing how your past catches up to you in a GOOD way
For Love of the Game is a highly underrated baseball flick.
As others have mentioned, 'The Natural' is a great sports movie. 'Any Given Sunday' is also very enjoyable. 'Million Dollar Baby' will bring a tear to your eye. And slightly off-beat, mainly a character comedy about amateur cycling, 'Breaking Away'.

The actor playing his father is Brian Cox. He was the uncle in Braveheart and also the original Hannibal Lecter in the movie Manhunter.
And he is in the SuperTroopers movies .
Old school baseball movie The Pride Of The Yankees (1942) with Babe Ruth playing himself. Great love story about the great baseball player Lou Gehrig.
Great sports movies:
Bull Durham (baseball)
Slap Shot (hockey)
Seabiscuit (horse racing)
Major League (baseball)
We Are Marshall (football)
Miracle (hockey)
Secretariat (horse racing)
Remember the Titans (football)
American Flyers and Breaking Away-Cycling
Being a Clearwater, FL resident and a converted Rays fan, I can turn my office chair around and see an autographed picture of Jim Morris.
If you want to see Costner as Wyatt Earp and Quaid, as doc Holliday, their movie came out the same year AsTombstone. I don’t know how well it did in comparison. It had enjoyable parts, but Costner’s Earp seem to be A much more cold version and Quaid was a great Doc Holliday(Who was always the more entertaining anyway) down to his physical changes which were stunning! (Tough but I still love Val Kilmer!).
You can also see Quaid in a Great movie “The Right Stuff” About early NASA.
Another baseball movie with rookie in the title is "Rookie of the Year" with John Candy. It's very funny and heartwarming.
Bang The Drum Slowly with Robert DeNiro a baseball movie no one ever heard of I bet! Excellent fun movie
That's an excellent movie with some serious themes interwoven throughout.
A couple of friends and I used to get our beer money off of some wealthier kids in the dorms in college playing TEGWAR
Any movie fan age fifty or older has heard of it. Highly recommended DeNiro film. They definitely need to watch it! 😊
Yes!!! Yes!!! Yes!!! One of DeNiro’s first movies starring Michael Moriarity. It also featured Vincent Gardenia, Danny Aiello and Selma Diamond.
Love your channels. Another good movie with Dennis Quade is Frequency. It’s one of the few movies that made my Dad and I cry. Maybe a good movie for Father’s Day. All the best take care
Guys, come on!!!!!! This is a great movie, but everybody is missing out on the greatest sports movie ever made. If you haven't seen "Miracle", it's an absolute must. It's a true story and brought this country together like a select few events in time have.
Hockey!
Rocky is the greatest
Far more entertaining than that film is the documentary with the actual team called "Miracle on Ice." Interviews with Brooks, Eruzione, Craig, McClanahan, Schneider, et al are included. Check it out if you haven't seen it. Cheers....
It is a must see
Yes right there with you! I love all sports movies but hard to beat not only one of best moments in sports period but one of best acted sports movies
Have you seen “The Natural” ….another great baseball movie with Robert Redford
42 is a great baseball movie with Chadwick Boseman regarding Jackie Robinson
Baseball by Ken Burns, a PBS multi-episode documentary is a GREAT documentary on…baseball, it’s history. The original was nine “innings” and went from conception to 1994. Several years later Ken Burns revisited Baseball and created “Extra Innings” that talks about PEDs, how baseball came back from the brink with McGwire and Sosa and how Latin America has made an impact on MLB. Great documentary.
It’s a great series. Pretty much every documentary Ken Burns has done is incredible.
Hey guys it wasn’t Dennis Quaid in Field of dreams it was Kevin Costner Dennis Quaid was in the day after tomorrow I believe it was along with many other movies
I was trying to remember the movie the Robs saw Dennis Quaid in recently. It may have been The Day After Tomorrow. I remember the same little mix-up with Costner then, too. :~)
Dennis Quaid was in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" you guys just watched it a few weeks ago, Kevin Costner was in Field of Dreams... ❤✌🎸🎶
61* (2001). A great baseball movie, that got limited exposure at the time, because it was an HBO exclusive.
Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle race to break Babe Ruth's single-season home run record.
Its kevin Costner who was in field of dreams .
"An Officer And A Gentleman."
Another very heartwarming and funny film sports based film I think you guys would love is COOL RUNNINGS, starring the late great John Candy , its loosely based on the Jamaican Bob Sled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics....
The man that said “ you just threw 98mph “ is the real life a Jimmy Morris
Love that! Thanks , did not know that
Had no idea, thanks for the info share!
No, he's not
That's not Jimmy Morris. That guy is actor Blue Deckert. Jimmy Morris does have a cameo in this movie though. He's one of the umpires for the Orlando game.
You’re an idiot. That is not Jimmy Morris
How can people not like sports, or sports movies, or any of this stuff. Epic human moments happen all the time. Great film.
I'm not big on watching live sports, but I love sports movies
Dennis Quaid has been in tons of movies, but since you have kiddos you probably know him best from The Parent Trap, he's the dad. I hope you get a chance to watch "Frequency" with Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel. You'll love it!
Excellent! Almost nobody even knows this movie, let alone reacts to it on YT...so happy to see such a good vibes channel react to this good vibes movie. It is one of my favorite sports movies, so I hope these guys absolutely love it.
Dennis Quaid was not in Field of Dreams. Kevin Costner was. Dennis Quaid was in
The remake of the Parent Trap. Also "The Day after Tomorrow" "Wyatt Earp" "Innerspace"
And of course, with his brother Randy as the Miller Bros as part of the Jesse James Gang in the awesome Western, THE LONG RIDERS, along with other brothers playing brothers. Highly recommended
And one of his first roles in “Breaking Away” too…..great movie
I had forgotten how much I love this movie/story. I loved seeing you react to this and love it as much as me. ❤
Best baseball movies
1. Moneyball
2. Major League
3. Eight men out ( the story of 1919 white Sox, shoeless joe Jackson's team)
The Stratton Story
Pride of the Yankees
42
None of the above. Original 70s Bad news bears.
Major League and Bull Durham are both fantastic baseball movies. Another Dennis Quaid sports movie is Breaking Away.
Gotta say that hair style in this video is amazing! Love the reactions and love you both!
The hair on the field wasn’t so deer “wouldn’t get hair in their mouth”! Lol. It was so the sent of humans would scare off the deer. It was about the smell! I doubt deer care if they get hair in their mouths as long as they’re eating seeds too! Lol.
His Dad gave him the best advice a father could give: "It's ok to do what you want to do in life, until the time comes to do what you were meant to do." He basically told him that he was meant to be a Major-League pitcher and to go for it.
I've told my own daughter this and tell people that it's my mantra as I found it to be true in my life as well...excelling at a job I never thought I would even enjoy or could do.
Tbh, I'm not sure if that's how his father meant it, though. I always took that line as him saying that it was fine for him to do it as perhaps a hobby, but it wasn't what he was meant to do, or it wasn't realistic. His father was never really interested or supportive of his love for baseball, and after he said that, he followed it with, "That may not be what you wanted to hear," and Jimmy was noticeably frustrated because he was feeling like no one was really being supportive of this opportunity, and in the following scene when he's back home venting to Lori, he says "I think that man lies in bed at night, just thinking of the one thing he can say that'll hurt the most," and Lori says, "Maybe he was right," and then they get into an argument. Maybe that's just me, but that was always what I understood that scene to be. Although, to be fair, as I'm typing this, I guess it's possible that Jimmy turned that around and said, "This is what I'm meant to do."
Idk, just my 2 cents, lol.
I love this movie - 'you know what we get to do today, we get to play baseball.' Such a sweet story. May I please add that hardly anyone has reacted to Waking Ned Devine - such a sweet hilarious fun movie full of great music. Maybe you could add this to your list. I just know you'll love it.
My favorite sport movie is
(The Greatest Game Ever Played )
I'm not a golf guy but this movie is great, a true story too.
Not just about the game but about the division of class, working hard in life, and the relationship of family
They will never get to this movie, but if your reading this watch this yourself. It made my cry at the end or thier was something in my eye😅
I'll bet you haven't seen The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. It stars the man who every kid wanted to be before they ever heard of Michael Jordan...the legendary Julius (Dr J) Irving. He was my top basketball hero growing up and he revolutionized the sport of basketball with dynamic moves that had never been see before. It's a comedy movie, but also has some fun basketball action in it.
This is one of my favorite baseball movies, if not my absolute favorite
I first saw it in the theater on spring break in Florida with my dad, who took me to see it, along with my uncle and brother
I was 7 at the time, about to turn 8 the next month at that point, so I was just getting old enough to recognize what went on in the game of baseball and started to follow my team, the Atlanta Braves
1979 Breaking Away starring a very young Dennis Quaid. A group of Town Kids take on The Rich College kids in an awesome Bike Race/Buddy/Family Movie with an awesome script & amazing performances all around is a total feel-good David vs Goliath movie!!!
Been wanting them to react to Breaking Away for ages!
@@NavvyMom I haven't seen anyone react to it & it's such a great realistic movie.
My wife grew up on the TX/NM border, literally. She graduated from Texico High, NM, and moved three blocks away to Farwell, TX. It was less than an hour from where my dad was born & raised (Morton/Levelland) before he moved to Ohio to work the orchards with his family as a teenager. I love this movie, because of the message of never giving up on a dream, the nostalgia for small town USA, and the great actors in it.
“For the Love of the Game” is another great baseball movie, staring Keven Costner. And I think you’d love “Innerspace” if you loved Dennis Quaid in this one.
One of my favorite sport movies. There are so many true stories that Hollywood could never write better. Sport movies are the best way to bring out the best of people. I can relate to this. I`ve coached almost 30 years and now in my 60`s, those times were and still are the greatest. When he watched that Little League game and saw the boy outfielder, I felt what he felt.
Another movie with Dennis Quaid that I think you guys would love is "Frequency"! Definitely one to think about checking out.
For J's Saturday nights, all in black and white: "The Babe Ruth Story" (1948), "The Pride of the Yankees" (1942, Lou Gehrig story), "The Pride of St. Louis" (1952, Dizzy Dean story), "The Jackie Robinson story (1950), "The Stratton Story" (1949, Monty Stratton story), "The Winning Team" (1952, Grover Cleveland Alexander story).
The winning team stars Doris Day as the wife
I think "McFarland, USA" would be a great movie for both you guys
My son was in the boyscouts.
One night after the game at Tropicana field. It was boyscout night. We got are sleeping bags and sleep on the field. And watch the rookie on the the big screen.
Slap Shot should be your next sports movie. Hysterical look at professional hockey back in the 70s. The clothes and music are awesome. The great paul Newman stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kevin Costner in For the Love of The Game.Is a Awesome Movie.Also Starring Kelly Preston.
I coached a little league team in Plano many years ago when this came out. Jim Morris (or his kids were) was a pediatric customer of one of our dads.
He gave him a break on some dental work for him to come out to one of our practices and speak to the kids. I think the parents were more in awe.
You’ve seen Kevin Costner in the second of his amazing baseball trilogy. You need to catch up with him in Bull Durham (earliest) and also For Love of the Game (last). Excellent movies both!
“Money Ball” is another great baseball movie that actually includes real clips from the season that the movie is based on. It’s definitely worth a reaction.
Side note: if you like basketball movies I recommend “Eddie” it stars Whoopi Goldberg and has a bunch of cameos from real NBA players. It probably won’t get many views but the soundtrack is 🤌🤌🤌
Hey guys! You still have another Star Wars movie to watch; it’s called Solo. It tells the story of young Han Solo. Also, you still have Rocky V (1990) and Rocky Balboa (2006). Then, there are the three Creed movies.
As a lefty baseball player, this movie was my childhood
This movie was written by eastern Oregon native Mike Rich. I highly recommend his first movie also, especially since you guys are educators , "Finding Forrester".
You just saw Dennis Quaid recently in The Day After Tomorrow.
One of my favorites! Great reaction. as usual guys!
Would "PRIDE OF THE YANKEES" The story of Lou Gehrig be a baseball movie or a love story ??MMMMMM??😍😍😍😍
"trouble with the curve" is pretty good baseball film...and "major leaugue " fun
Great movie...so emotional.. You guys should check out Dennis Quaid in "Frequency". It's a Sci-fi dramatic thriller with a storyline like no other movies. A lot of unexpected twists, with a great cast and great feel good ending.
Excellent movie!!
This was my first watch of you. I just loved that you reacted to the Rookie. It's one of my favorite movies and an underated one to me, one you don't see a lot of reactions to. I loved your take on it and definitely can tell you both are sports fans!
I haven’t watched this reaction yet because I want to see The Rookie first. Another movie about an older pro sports rookie is Invincible, about Vince Papale, a bartender who beats the odds to become an NFL player.
I'm happy this is up! 😁
I rank this movie up with field of dreams as the best baseball movies, along with the best inspirational movies in general
Moral is you're never too late to see dreams come true
I have some sports movies for Jay that he probably hasn't seen:
Victory (soccer)
Heart Like A Wheel (drag racing)
Greased Lightning (NASCAR)
Rollerball (roller derby, kind of)
North Dallas Forty (NFL)
61* (baseball)
Fast Break (basketball)
I loved this movie when it came out. Such an amazing story and Dennis Quaid is such an amazing actor
The year Jimmy Morris started pitching to the players during practice , the players said later in life that during the games they played in , when the opposition pitcher threw the ball it was like they were seeing a basketball and not a baseball
If y'all want more sports movies that you probably haven't seen that are great, try Tin Cup, 42, Secretariat, We are Marshall, Happy Gilmore, Miracle, Rudy, The Best of Times, Million Dollar Baby, Ford vs Ferrari, and I'll stop there because there are so many lol
They did Rudy.
I love we are Marshall
You guys like stories based on true events. Well, I'm going to list a couple of my favorites for you to consider...
Sully.....with Tom Hanks. Cinderella Man....with Russell Crowe and/or Unstoppable....with Denzel Washington. All 3 are great movies based on true events
This is a great movie, but there are 3 other Baseball themed movies I would recommend even more: "The Natural," "Bull Durham," and " Major League."
Good choices. “Major League” with Charlie Sheen is hilarious.
You should really try “Breaking Away”. A great sports movie
"The Natural" is the best baseball movie ever made. Phenomenal!
*JudgingYouInBadNewsBears*
It is a wonderful one. Your opinion of course lol. I like Field of dreams. Both are wonderful
To me one of the best baseball films was Bull Durham with Kevin Costner, Tim Robins, and Susan Sarandon. It is so funny.
A truly wholesome film that's been sort of lost to time is Mr. Holland's Opus. It was well received by audiences back in the 90s.
You guys are not wrong about us Texans and our sports, I’ve lived in Houston when Oilers sold to Tennessee and got to help host the Texans first 2 season Home games as part of my JROTC years, and saw many Astro home games as well. And now currently in Lubbock where we have Texas Tech and UT rivals and as well as LCU and Midland baseball as huge sporting attractions here. So much fun to watch these games and the town spirits come to life! lol
The one thing I love about this movie is how it shows a huge thing can come out of absolutely nothing
That piece of land that the nuns bought in faith of that unknown man's belief of oil had the biggest strike of it that part of Texas ever saw (according to the story) and it all was born at the site of a DIY baseball field in the middle of that giant acreage and the players had their own faith that they'd leave that "sandlot" oil field and go on to bigger goals and feel like kings
The "middle of nowhere" cliche was given a facelift in this story and it challenges the notion of an insignificant person or object being of no value (also probably Hollywood spicing things up) but still a worthwhile idea to think about
And seeing that allegory play out in Jimmy's journey to "bless the town of Big Lake one more time" is a nice touch
If you haven't already checked out or seen this sports movie try McFarland USA which is also based on a true story❤
Consider watching ‘Soul of the Game’, if you can find it. The story of Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige and Josh Gibson in the Negro League in 1945 at the time that Jackie was called to the Majors. Josh Gibson was a beast!
10:00 My high school didnt have baseball either. Only sport I liked and made me feel appreciated couldnt wait for summer for town ball. "You spend a good piece of your life gripping a baseball and in the end it turns out that it was the other way around all the time".
