A League of Their Own (1992)
Penny Marshall’s comedy-drama tells the story of female ballplayers proving themselves again and again in the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.
It’s jaded humor keeps the story moving, stars Geena Davis, Lori Petty and Madonna are deeply empathetic, and Tom Hanks does one of his best grumpy-guy roles. Like he reminded us recently, there’s no crying in baseball.
Crying is allowable only on planes, while watching Queen of Katwe. More on that soon.
