A League of Their Own (1992)

It's ironic that, a game mostly associated with male players, a film which focuses on the women's first professional entry into the sport, would be the one that, for me, truly captures the feeling which best reflects of why this sport is truly an American pasttime. That the purpose of a game is, no matter how the political world events may be turbulently transpiring, we all can just escape for a little while, catch a ballgame & hopefully return into the real world with our spirits a little higher & our perspectives a little bit clearer.
Because,
as we all know by now,
there is no crying in baseball.

This film is about a women's baseball league started in world war II to stand in while the men where away fighting. The movie itself in a highly enjoyable and entertaining fare with inspiring performance from Tom Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna. Maybe one of the only films that was a box office hit with Madonna in it. She also sings the theme song. Wonderful, sensitive direction from former Laverne and Shirley star Penny Marshall

I didn't rate this movie THAT high, because everytime I sit down to watch it, I'm reminded of parts that I didn't care much for. I still like it though, because it definitely has it's moments and it's quotable.
