    Excellent job, Scott! I guess now I'll have to finally watch this movie, huh?

    It's a very funny movie, with an outlook that sets it apart from all the usual sports-underdog movies. After reading Scott's post, I want to see "Bull Durham" again.

    Best sports movie ever, for my money. And yet, though I've seen it dozens of times, I can't say I've ever noticed the music. I definitely will now. Thanks for this.

    Great post, Scott. This is one of my favorite movies, whose soundtrack always deserved better than it got.

    Great writeup of a classic movie. However, I believe that Nuke actually refers to Edith Piaf as "that crazy Mexican singer."

    Wow, I remember "Italian singer,"

    When Nuke brings his dad by her house, he knows she is in there because he can hear that "crazy Italian singer."

    I am probably wrong, I haven't sen that movie in 20 years, but that is what I remember.

    It was "that crazy Mexican singer." I checked, just to be sure.

    I guess when I was writing this I was thinking more like Crash, who would know who Edith Piaf is, than Nuke, who would confuse the languages. My bad. Thanks for pointing it out.

    Yes, you were thinking like Crash! It just popped out at me because that is one of my favorite lines from the movie--just sums Nuke up so perfectly, and also another indication to Annie why she should be with Crash--since he knows who the heck Edith Piaf is!

    This movie was actually on one of the local channels this weekend. So edited for "content" it was damn near unwatchable. However, I stayed with it - just to hear that one line.

    Yeah, Mexican.

    I dunno how I got Italian in my head all those years ago . . . .

    This was a great movie not his best.

    Also missing from the soundtrack was the saxophone solo played when Crash left Annie to complete his season. The song (if I'm not mistaken) is the opening saxophone solo from "Working Hour" by Tears For Fears.
