Bull Durham II

Bull Durham is considered by many to be on the short list of the greatest sports movies.  With the exception of the fact that Tim Robbins can't throw, the movie is perfect.  Today phrases from the movie are still repeated on diamonds across the country.  Now Kevin Costner and Ron Shelton are talking about a sequel.  Robbins and Susan Surandon will be owner's of a minor league team and Costner will be the manager of the team.

Sequels on regular movies are tough enough to pull off, but it is hard to live up to the standard the Bull Durham set.  I think this one would be best left on the shelf, but Costner has a knack with baseball movies. 

 My list of best sports movies would include Bull Durham, Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, For Love of the Game, The Natural, Field of Dreams and Miracle.
