Bull Durham
Director/writer Ron Shelton’s super-smart script fuels this terrific baseball comedy and Shelton knew whereof he spoke; he was a minor league player with the Baltimore Orioles organization. Tim Robbins plays “Nuke” LaLoosh, a green pitcher in need of some pointers and Susan Sarandon plays the baseball groupie who provides a few of those pointers off-field. In a career-best performance, Kevin Costner plays “Crash” Davis, the savvy veteran assigned to whip the hapless LaLoosh into shape.
