Bull Durham is one of those enduring classics. The bawdy baseball comedy, which came out in 1988, boasts a sort of universal appeal. The movie, a Western in cleats, possesses a kind of rustic, ageless charm. Perhaps best known as the movie that brought stars Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins together, Bull Durham details the grimy day-to-day life of Minor League Baseball as seen through the eyes of its central characters: Annie Savoy, a philosophically inclined baseball groupie; Ebby Calvin LaLoosh, a talented but wild, immature pitching prospect; and Crash Davis, a veteran Minor League catcher chasing the Minor League home run record.
