HCH Academy Awards - Best Picture 1988?

[Fishpo31]

Bull Durham cuz Beisbol, Naked Gun and Midnight Run are right there...

 

[DerekJohnson]

Good year. Tough choices.

This movie wins on the strength of Costner telling the bat boy to shut up and then chuckling to himself as he walks toward the plate. That's peak Kevin Costner.

Two problems with Bull Durham. 1. Tim Robbins throwing motion makes Barack Obama look like a veteran. If you're gonna do a baseball movie pick an actor who has thrown a fucking baseball. 2. I had a very hard time believing any young hotshot jock would give ugly ass Susan Sarandon a second look.

Otherwise great flick.

This part was one of my favorites

I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.[/i]

Ugly ass? LOL.

Not saying she was a 10, but 80's Susan was still Wood.

Not your best effort

You completely nailed why I never liked Bull Durham

Look DJ, I know she's not Korean of Dot Indian. All I'm saying is she was a fit lady with huge jugs. A fella could have done a lot worse. Ugly is not the right label here.

She's never been hot. HTH

Sport with--by far--the largest ratio of movie awesomeness to actual sport awesomeness is Baseball. So many amazing baseball movies (Major League, of course, being the best).

Tough choice this year between Die Hard, Rain Man, and Naked Gun.

Books too. Grew up on baseball books. Never watch anymore but agree on movies as well

My other favorite sport in books is golf. There were some great writers back in the day.

Golf would be #2 in that ratio. Tin Cup, Happy Gilmore, Caddyshack.

 

[greenblood]

Me looking at the results

If the theatres did a reviewing of all of these movies, I guarantee that 90% of this board would go to the Die Hard viewing first.

This pole makes me weep for out cuntry. You bunch of imbeciles.

"A fella could have done a lot worse".

Sure. She has nice legs in that pic your posted too fwiw.

But she looked 55 when that movie was filmed. Not the kind of girl a 20 year old who thinks his shit doesn't stink like LaLoosh would be fucking around with. At all. It's completely unbelievable.

 

[dnc]

Hard pass for me and I'm 40, far past my physical prime and was never a superstar athlete.



A real Nuke LaLoosh might have let her go down on him if he were drunk enough but he wasn't getting into any kind of ongoing relationship with that.

Don't fret @dnc, she won't make the hottest actresses tournament presented by the Yella Bored.

Every Class AAA player would give their signing bonus to bang the team mom.

This is right in baseball players' wheelhouse. That's how they are.

Bonus street cred for bringing her panties back to the clubhouse.

 

[PurpleThrobber]

And people forget Annie Savoy begat a major league set of yabos for the next generation to enjoy.

Now that's a girl that would be believable

The Durham Bulls were a Single-A Carolina League team at the tim and in the movie

 

[Gladstone]

I've resigned myself to the fact that my movie taste is widely different from many of you. Every thread where people are like "wow what a year" I'm always meh, and vice versa. Like for this poll...to me it's Die Hard and the 7 dwarves.
