Watch League Of Their Own (1992) Now: AAN.SonyPictures.com/LeagueOfT...
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 ballplayer 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 Hinson (Geena 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, on the fields and off, for generations of athletes. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
I liked how Dotty and Kit were impressed by Marla and how united they were in supporting her.
And they didn't even look at each other before putting their suitcases down! So it meant that even if one went, the other was making their stand. Love this scene so much!
It's rare these days
@@onecoolcat2478 What do you expect given the official approval of today's "trash talking" as opposed to "good sportsmanship" which I was taught.
@@sonofizzy That's so true ☹️
@@LucianDevine Basically, they told the jackhole scout, if Marla didn't go, they wouldn't either.
The support of a father to his own daughter like this is truly a life lesson to be learned in those times. One of my favorite movies
Wouldn't be allowed in today's hollyweird
@@josephmorabito6992 he’d get a slap in public for less
She had a better father than kit
Yes agreed
Those and these times.
"Nothing ever going to happen here. You have to go where things happen." What a great line. Loved the actor who played her father. And the actress that played Marla too.
One of the only roles I've seen him play a decent man. He's usually a dirty cop, at least almost every time I've seen him.
@@langlsd1604 He was fantastic as Clark Kent's dad in Lois & Clark!
That dialogue always struck me. It's true for all of us in life.
In a way he pushed her to leave the nest and see what her future would bring, it's sad cause you can tell that he loves his daughter so much that he felt or wants her to have a life of her own and be a baseball player and be a part of history
@@DashDonivan I thought that was him! I loved that show, especially when Clark got scenes with his parents.
Marla's story turned out to be the best one of all the girls IMO. Her life was transformed into something unexpected and beautiful.
It's also funny how she was considered not as pretty, yet she meets someone the night they sneak out to a bar and winds up finding love and getting married.
@@littlesongbird1 "I'm singin ta Nelson...ain't I honey" has been a staple of my family. Love Marla!
@@littlesongbird1 and that man absolutely worships the ground she walks on.
As he should.
Agreed! Thanks for the eyeball washing! It IS a beautiful love story!
@Senna Cenna that sounds like a negative comment?
Trust me, they didn't get paid hardly anything.
Being a father now and seeing what this father did for his little girl by swallowing his anger and humbling himself in front of the jackass instead of of smacking him like he deserved really hits me hard. I hope I can be like him in a similar situation.
Your aware of what makes a good Father, I'm thinking you are fine.
You, Sir, are a good man who will always protect and look out for his children. I salute you and your principles; and the love that produced them.
You have a clever way of making spineless fathers look like heroes.
@@theodorelaurence1790 And what would have been the outcome if the father had acted the way that you would have preferred? Would she have been invited aboard the bus?
As a dad myself, with (good) adult children, what you’re doing is one of the keys to being a good dad - contemplate what you would do in situations before they happen and decide the best way to handle it. With the right decision made before such a situation, you’ll do the right thing reflexively.
As a side note I worked around that guy playing her dad (Eddie Jones) for years back when I was in college. I avoided him for awhile because he was large and I was a little intimidated, but at some point we had a few conversations and he was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. He played a great bad guy, but in real life he was a lot like that character he played in that clip. Very humble, very sweet.
I love it when they both drop their suitcases in defiance.
Right Me Too! 💯
A feminine defiance that no reasonable man can defend against. Good stuff, no better way to humble a man than to put the maternal foot down.
Damn right! 2 girls scouting the scout! 😂
And how this guy even said Kit was pretty even when the scout thought she was ugly too.
@@LaKellita Really kinda depends on who's lookin' though, right?
Marla's dad (Eddie Jones) shows how a real pro takes a small role and turns it into something beautiful.
character actors like him can really help, change, and make a movie more real and enduring.
There are no small roles. Every role is important to the story.
I've been saying that for a few years as well, what a great actor. He was also great in Sneakers.
Eddie's small part in this movie was a sad but wonderful scene.
This was one of the most solid roles (even if with a bit of his trademark acid wit and goofiness) that Jon Lovitz ever played…
The fathers comments are just as heartbreaking, he thinks he messed up because he raised her like a boy - not knowing any different. The fact that he cared enough to raise her as best he could (by the sounds of it alone) and still thinks he messed up.
If this guy aint father of the year material then i dont know who is.
Also the fact he didn’t molest her is great. In those times and especially in rural areas where it looks like they are from when a mother died early and it was just the dad left with just a daughter men unfortunately turned their daughters into their wives obviously this is a lighthearted movie so they would never do that but I know history so things like that pop up
@@npierce14 dafuq?
that scene always tears me up🥺😢😭
depression era no less
@@michaellarnach4161 More true than you realize man.
The delivery of "See how it works is, the train moves, not the station" will never not make me laugh. What a classic movie!
LOL, IK.
John's droll humor was priceless in this movie. He kind of disappeared for a while, and he has plenty of talent, so I wonder why. I see him more now, but miss his comedic flare.
Best line in the movie
Hahahahahaha yes!!!
@@KindCountsDeb3773 I just learned a new word today. Droll lol
The way those fellas groaned when Marla's dad was like, "Go lefty," Let you know she was a beast.
I love that Dottie and Kit had the same impulse to refuse to go at the same time. They didn't hesitate to do what was right.
Being sisters, I expect they were raised the same so it's not a lot surprising but a little.
"So who's gonna take care of you, who's gonna cook for you, take care of the equipment?" Marla is an angel.
The man she married is the luckiest man on earth.
Looks to me he did an EXELLENT job raising her!!
His speech about her being turned down was the best. He made her “faults” his fault.
He was a great dad. The actor playing the role was tremendous.
Thats right.
Wait till her red dress scene, marla is a hottie!
She's afraid to look strangers in the eye. That's never good.
Strong swing. Excellent batter. Home runs. Keen eye. Nope. He didn't screw up raising Marla ♥
I love how they brought Marla out of her shell and she ended up finding a great man and getting married. She really blossomed! This movie was wonderful. I just loved it.
Jon Lovitz’s first reaction at seeing Marla’s face was classic. This was a special movie for me not just as a fan of baseball but it made me laugh and cry.
There's no crying in baseball.
My favorite part in the entire movie is when he tells the cow to shut up for mooing and I just recently found out that was ad libbed. Dude's a unique talent
@@stephengrigg5988 should have seen more of him in movies/tv. He kind of disappeared after SNL, this movie.
I think it was a bit over the top. OTOH, it did express the callousness of that kind of man perfectly. But Marla didn't hold a grudge, she was so sweet.
The casting is great. Marla's Dad looks just like her.
Madonna as Mae was perfection.
Lovitz was PERFECT in this role.
yeah, he's always been a difficult fit. Loved him in this.
You see it's the train that moves, not the station.
Lol, one of my top 10 favorite movie quotes ever
"I hate when they get attached to me."
Marla is one of my favorite characters! Didn’t realize until now how joining truly changed her life!
I went to college with Megan and did plays with her. She was a really sweet and cute girl - she didn't look like this in real life. I'm happy for her that she got a memorable role in a movie that so many people love.
Good actors make themselves resemble the role even when they do not actually look like the intended character. The presence, or lack thereof as required, the demeanor, all that goes into capturing a character, is what creates that character and makes the character believable.
I grew up knowing a little girl named Marla who was painfully shy and brutally bullied, the 70s being such a rocking time to be a kid.
She was as also very pretty, although you'd never think it from the way she held herself. I like to imagine that she grew into her beauty, but it's a small town, they're far nastier in so many ways than cities, largely because there is no anonymity, and I feel I was lucky to get out when I did, in hindsight, so I'll never know.
You can see it at the end of her time in the movie, when she gets married to Nelson - Marla is BEAUTIFUL, maybe not conventionally pretty, but she looks so beautiful when she gets married to Nelson.
@@thehellyousay No. We are just conditioned as movie goers to recognize normal looking people as ugly if they are making a funny face. She still looks nothing like a real ugly person.
Marla cleaned up really nicely, and was a beautiful bride. 👰♂️❤️
My favorite scene was with her drunk and singing in the bar, and that one guy in the audience looking at her like she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. Sweet.
@@orboobleck5366 I remember decades later when they had their reunion she was a completely different person who had come out of her shell and had a lot more confidence.
@@orboobleck5366: Again, thanks for the eyeball washing! That is one of the best movie scenes ever!
the last line in this scene is one of the best lessons to learn in life - you can stand in the train station all your life and watch the trains go by - and no matter how long you wait and watch, that train station ain't going anywhere - you gotta take a chance - you gotta get on that train
Like, I get that he was trying to be a prick, but he ended up accidentally spouting a bit of wisdom.
Or...it was a joke
@@schachmaster No; he was not being a prick. SMH.
I felt really bad for Marla 😔 A famous person once said that society places too much importance on looks.
That's cause everyone is attracted to beauty. Its in our DNA. As a less than attractive person, I know first hand it sucks. But its the way we were created.
Bet they were ugly too
Makeup does wonders for a lot of (pretty) people
It's a double-standard against women; it's called The Male Gaze.
If this kind of prejudice was the same towards men, then players like Babe Ruthe would never have gotten a shot.
@@gutz1981 we arent. we are attracted to healthy people. In the animal kingdom prettyness is going hand in hand with health. Humans used to be the same, but now its questionable if someone who is malnurished or weak is a favorable partner, at least when it comes to natural selection.
Strong frame, humble demeanor, hard work ethic, will watch the game with you. That, Gentlemen, is the whole package. You go find a girl like that and you will be happy.
You looking for a romantic partner or a farm hand?
@@IzzyBizzyBooBoo Both
Well said
Aw, shucks...!☺️
I watched this in the theater. Can't remember why we chose this movie. I was around 13 when it came out. Maybe the movie we wanted to see was rated R and we couldn't get in. Regardless it was one of the best movies I've ever seen. Still one of the best today. Amazing script. Amazing cast. Amazing acting from all. It was just great in every way.
The Lovitz scenes were by far and away the funniest ones in the movie. I was sorry that his character had to end about 20 mins into the movie, but his part was done.
Go home, give the wife a little pickle tickle…
Actually his character is there at the end when they're in the hall of fame. Apparently he became a good friend of Kit's over the years.
Good news, he was in an episode of the series. (Not the new one, the original series.)
i liked when Marla got drunk and started singing ONLY YOU!!.
She didn't sing "Only You," she sang "It Had To Be You." 😉
And of course, Marla's the one that actually found a man of the singles in the bunch lmao. Love this damn movie.
Marla's Dad was an excellent Father
good reminder to love the Dad's out there who are good and true to their children. Makes a huge difference in their lives. Thanks to the real Dad's.!
Yes he was
Then why is she so messed up?
@@redrick8900 She's not messed up. She just needed a mother's influence and he recognized that and that baseball and the league was her way to grow.
@@weirdshibainu She's afraid to look people ion the eye. That's messed up.
Wish I hadn't watched this scene... I started crying and now I can't stop
There's no crying in baseball!
Totally! Menopause is a b*tch. Plus, yesterday (4/11/2022) was the anniversary of my Dad's passing. This didn't help stop the eyeball washing.
One of the most touching and beautiful movie sequences I have seen. The whole movie is splendid. Respect to Penny Marshall.
This scene always broke my heart. I was an ugly tomboy too and Lord it was so hard. Boys didn't like you, girls didn't like you, adults didn't like you. No matter how talented you were, they were overlooking you. I'm glad she got a happy end.
even if you're "girly" you can be "ugly"
Are you coming? You see how it works is...the train moves, not the station. Jon Lovitz was hilarious with his wise cracks and sarcasm...this is a great movie and one of my favorites I still watch to this day.
This was Lovitz best role. He was great in this. Such a really good movie.
He was also great in City Slickers 2.
I love this movie. It's funny, sweet, sad and just all around enjoyable
Yessss!! One of my fave movies of all time 🥺🥺🥺🥺
After all these years, this scene still brings me to tears.
I remember watching this in theatres....Dam the memories.
I love John’s reaction. But to be honest, he has a lot nerve the way he looks. Haha.
that was pretty much how it went back in the day before society realized that this kind of chauvinistic thinking was wrong, unfair, rude and hurtful. A guy could have a pot belly, crooked teeth and bald and he'd stand there and judge women's appearance and criticize. Still around, but mostly seen as backward. Loved Marla's story. BTW: not fair of women to judge a man by his profession either.
That's how society has always been, even now. Look at the casting. Seth Rogan looking guys can get the Katherine Heigl's because they're redeemed by having some kind of personality, but a woman is only as good as what a man finds desirable. That's why when Rebel Wilson, who is pretty but heavy, was criticized for being "too fat" to get a guy like Chris Hemsworth in the RomCom they did togethe. So, according to society, men can be as critical as they want of women, doesn't matter their appearance.
"Are you coming? See...how it works is, the train moves - not the station."
One of the best out of Jon Lovitz's many one-liners in this movie. 🤣
i have watched this movie several times and the dad begging the scout always makes me cry.
That look of pride on the father's face after he says "Now, Lefty" and looks back at Jon Lovitz is outstanding...
And the groans of the guys pitching and fielding, because they know she hits even harder from the left...
I just recently realized she was in Robin Hood Men In Tights
The father / daughter casting was in point!
"The train moves not the station" lol!
This scene still tugs the heartstrings after all these years!
You don't have to be pretty to be good looking(carry oneself well and with dignity)
Like my grandma used to say " just cause you're poor don't mean you gotta be filthy"
Righton
Iflookscouldkillwealldie
Is your grandmas name Marla Hooch?..Hooch?
"Somos pobres pero limpios" - my mom (That translates to we may be poor but we are clean)
Aunt Barbara always told us a comb and a bar of soap aren't that expensive.
I love this scene. Even early on, the women stand up for each other. They jumped to defend Marla immediately. She was good and deserved the same shot as everyone else.
Love the look he gives when he sees her close lolllll
Nobody forgets Marla. That's a fact.
She's also the proof of the old saying: There's always someone for everyone.
I did
Nelson sure didn't. 😉 She had him at "hello."
One of my favorite childhood movies, the tom hanks pee scene makes me laugh till this day.
Marla was one of the most inspirational characters in this movie. I saw this movie when it came out when I was 11. Loved it then and I love it now.
This scene was definitely a tearjerker.
Love this movie ... makes me tear up one minute, then laugh out loud the next ...
Hey cowgirls see the grass?... don't eat it. 😂 Lovitz is so underrated
3:11 “Marla, nothin’s ever gonna happen here, you gotta go where things happen.”
"You know General Omar Bradley?"
"Yeah."
"Well there's too strong a resemblance." 🤣
The fact that he was willing to pass her up when she was easily one of the best members on the team just speaks to the fact that men like him will never see the value in a woman unless she's pretty. Regardless how good she is. What a slimeball.
Women are no different. They see height, good hair and money they are just as shallow yet they are rarely called on it.
He nearly did the same with Kit because he didn't think she was pretty either
@@LaKellita no, he nearly did the same with Kit because Kit wasn't pitching the day he was there for tryouts.
@@cirrustate8674 he also told her the she "wasn't the goods", until he felt her arm
Plenty of women feel the same way about men.
Marla is one of my favorite characters in this movie! She’s so sweet and adorable
Even though it's a movie this happens all the time in life. The ugly ppl are treated poorly vs good looking ppl
yea and yet people say looks dont matter its whats inside that counts but obviously that's not exactly true
@@oooh19 too much pain being born ugly. Maybe in the next life
Am I the only one who doesn't see anything wrong with the way she looks? Jon Lovitz is so good at playing unlikable characters lol
Conventionally pretty, no. But the only thing that makes her look 'ugly' is her hunching and lack of confidence.
What a beautiful scene. It reminded me of my relationship with my late father. Made me start sobbing uncontrollably. Lol.
This relationship is the best one in the entire film, and it's about 5 minutes.
this movie was a story, made up of more stories. I love this type of movie. This one had comedy, heart and great scenes. Loved the acting, directing (thank you Penny Marshall) , script, etc. So well made.
I love how humble and defeated yet determined Marla is.
I feel like her
Marla's father has no superpowers and does not wear a cape or mask, but he is a real Hero! As good as it gets! (And so were the two sisters. They were raised right!)
Oh, Lovitz was great in this! I miss seeing him and hearing him in The Critic.
Best performance in Jon Lovitz' career.
Such a great movie. Seen it a couple of times.
One of my fav movies!!! From start to finish its amazing
This guy is such an amazing father it makes me cry.
“Marla Hootch, what a hitter.” One of my favourite movies!
I love Jon Lovitz’s character lol 😂
I absolutely loved this movie as a kid. I love it even more as an adult.
Always loved this movie for so many different reasons. Its one of those "if its on you don't change the station" kind of movies, like Forrest Gump!
This movie is a lot better than "Forrest Gump".
Kudos to Jon Lovitz. Plays that character very well.
I love this movie especially I love Baseball ⚾️ Baseball is Life
Now I have to watch this movie. Great dad moment right here.
Jon Lovitz, has some of the best comedic lines in the film. "See how it works is, the train moves not the station."
Such a great scene and great movie...Love it so.
'You gotta go where things happen.' Brings a tear to the eye..
This scene always has me in tears no matter how many times i watch it.
"You gotta go where things happen..."
This is what an amazing dad looks like - he acknowledged his mistakes & encourages his girl.
I loved her, she was awesome and she blossoms
Jon Lovitz is the best….period!!
One of the best sports movie of all time..
Penny Marshall is a freaking genius..
Aww, this is so sweet. That dad is great. Also, she has amazing eyes
This scene makes me cry.
At 1:30 she looks like an owl and I absolutely love it. The big eyes, the way she blinks, even the shape of her mouth. I wonder of that was ever brought up during shooting or editing.
"The way it works is.. The train moves not the station."
One of my fav quotes. 🤣😂
I got VERY teary eyed when the father pleaded with him
Sure hits different after becoming a father
@@adamrichards3174 oh yeah I can see that happening
I love this film.
This was a damn good movie
I love this movie sooo much! ❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩🙏🏼
Jon Lovitz cracks me up "see how it works the train moves not the station" lmao
A great movie !
I haven’t seen this movie in 20 years. I guess it is time to watch it again.
Such a great movie
I love this movie!
I saw this movie when I was very little- and while I laughed along, this scene caught me. Marla Hooch, what a hitter. ❤❤
