Bull Durham

Rated R • 107 minutes

One of the sharpest sports comedies ever made, this cinematic home run from debut writer/director Ron Shelton ("Cobb," "Tin Cup") helped make a star of Kevin Costner. "Crash" Davis (Costner) is an aging minor league pitcher closing in on a season record, as well as the heart of baseball-loving super-fan Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon). Getting in the way of both, however, is lunkheaded phenom "Nuke" Laloosh (Tim Robbins), a talented newcomer bound for the majors and Annie's affections, which are only given to one player each season.
