The Sandlot
Stand out soundtrack! Any movie set in the 1960s is lucky for its choice in music!
Cute little bonding idea, teaching the stepson to play catch. Doesn't seem like he'll follow through
I'm having flashbacks to the kid using the Babe Ruth ball to play in the lot…OMG
I love that the movie center's around the kids just loving the game. It's not about winning the big game. They don't keep score or have a team roster, they just play
Is his mom the bar owner from Indiana Jones?! Yes, that is Karen Allen! Of course she tells her kid to get into trouble hahaha
At least the kid caught it, black eye and all
Does meat really help bruising? It seems so unhygienic
What a great cast of kids. I love their little intros
It always takes one to vouch for a newcomer
An L7! Ha, haven't heard that in a while
Benny was sooooo cute!
Every neighbourhood kids group had some kind of legend that freaked them out, like the dog
Man the precision to throw and hit the ball yourself, eesh
And it's so true. Sometimes you just need some to explain the how-to so you get it
The bill of Smalls’ hat really makes him a dork, poor thing
The absolute joy I feel when the kid realises he now has friends
I miss the days when there were sports legends. Now there seems to be a saturation of celebrities but no unique legends
The anxiety triggered of Smalls' going to get his step dad's autographed ball…
An epic tree house is always necessary in a good kids movie. And sleepovers and ghost stories.
Is this the male Now and Then?
The kids look half of Wendy's age, oh boy. “Perving a dish” hahaha
I can't imagine drinking a soft drink during a heatwave
I love the movie shows the kids doing other things than just baseball
Squints’ lips chattering in the pool, scenes like this must be brutal to film
Wendy is appropriately upset. I hope this generation of kids are taught not be pervy. It's a shame Smalls says it's cool, and that they have Wendy smile at him.
The Fourth of July game is such a cute concept
I would say the game would be short because fireworks don't last all night, but I've been in the States for the 4th…next level
Classic 60s class rivalry, the rich kids play on an organised Little League team
Too bad playing like a girl isn't a real insult, but the movie does take place in the 60s.
Hams catcher smack talk is cute
Chewing tobacco, eww. But it does produce the best line in the movie “you're killing me Smalls”
This is a fuck around and find out moment for these kids
How hard is it to actually explode a baseball?
Ok, this is where he gets the ball, I could vomit
Trying to explain that it's a Babe Ruth autographed ball…the kids barely freak out enough haha. I would have been over the fence in half a second
It's so cute when the prattle off all of Babe Ruth's nicknames
The step dad, having his own room with stuff no one is allowed to touch…so douchey
Yes, Smalls. Asking Me.Mertle is the correct answer, but typical kids have to make it an adventure, but cue kid invention time!
The kids all screaming I'm sure only instigates the Beast
Every time the show the ball during the escape attempts, and it's more degraded…it's beyond worthless now. Sad
The Electrolux’ busting is probably a bigger deal to the parents than the ball, hahaha
So they never have 98¢ for a new ball, but they somehow manage all these inventions hehehe, I love it
I would absolutely have been terrified to tell my parents I F’d up this hard
I love how in kids movies their rooms always have stuff on the walls like pictures and personalised art. My mother would never have let me hahaha. “It'll take the paint of the wall” the one time I put up glow in the dark stars it totally took the paint and plaster off the walls
The shoes! You can still buy P.F Flyers the 1933
That little boost of confidence
Benny was already a legend but now!
Favourite scene is the dog chase montage. Pickle the Beast
Aww Smalls is a good kid wanting to save Beast
Gosh, between the ball, the vacuums, the general founders Day festival destruction, and the fence…these kids need more than 98¢
Love that Darth Vader is the scary neighbour, and played with Babe Ruth
I love that stepdad turns into real dad
What a pivotal summer, the last one before it all changes
Funny that Smalls has his dork billed hat at the end as a a grown up. Comfortable with himself
