Film critic Richard Roeper’s best and worst baseball films of all time:
| Best (In order of preference) |
Worst (In alpha order*) |
| The Natural | The Babe |
| Bull Durham | The Babe Ruth Story |
| Field of Dreams | The Bad News Bears Go to Japan |
| Bang the Drum Slowly | The Fan |
| Pride of the Yankees | Fear Strikes Out |
| Major League | Major League: Back to the Minors |
| The Slugger’s Wife |
* because the author says at some point, awful is just awful.
From 10 Sure Signs a Movie Character is Doomed & Other Surprising Movie Lists, Hyperion, 2003.
These have been culled from Roeper’s lists of all-time best and worst sports movies. There have been a few additional baseball films since this book came out. At the risk of speaking out of turn, I would venture to add The Rookie to the “best” side while some might put the remake of The Bad News Bears in the “worst” category.
