All right fellas it's the night before a big game so you want to rent a good movie. Give me your suggestions (not just baseball movies either).
I'll go first: 1. Die Hard 2. Glen Garry Glen Ross.

Depends on the person, really. What gets you pumped for the next day.
Hoosiers and Rudy are two favorites - but how about the Rookie and an oldie Breaking Away?
I watched Rudy last night, Wow, great inspiration.
Rocky 2, What are we WAITEN FOR.
MATRIX or HIGHLANDER

Why do you need a movie ?
I do this
MY wife
A fine bottle of wine
A fine cheese
And then we are set for the game the next day---after I go over the batting order one more time

Miracle was great, but nothing beats Bull Durham!
Talent for the Game is my current favorite. 4 game winning streak since I started watching it last week. Might change next week though.
Braveheart 
Gladiator
Miracle

MAJOR LEAGUE...
I can't believe no has mentioned The Natural. Best baseball movie IMO. Also The Replacements, another great movie with one of the best quotes ever:
"Pain heals, chicks dig scars, and glory lasts forever."

It dosent get any better then this.... I love the baserunner who is the ballet guy....awesome 
For inspiration I always watch Seven...Very inspirational!
DEBBIE DOES DALLAS OR PORKY'S
Gotwood4sale, changed to Summers Catch currently. Afraid my primary catcher contracted fumes disease shortly after last post and tried showing off for her by nearly removing opposing catchers head from remainder of his body. His expulsion cost us dearly in goodwill points for the remainder of that game.
After further research of above stated film, I became familiar again with what wily creatures they are and the negative impact they have on ballplayers. It truly messed up my young players thought process not to mention elevating certain chemicals in the body that should not be tampered with during the season.
He was remorseful for his actions especially after his 1 game suspension and has been instrumental in the current 3 game win streak. I think he now has a grasp of priorities because I have neither had a wiff of her perfume nor have I noticed any furtive glances into the stands or wistful sighing when he enters the dugout. This has made me very happy and all is good in my corner of the universe for the moment.

Gladiator or Blades of Glory, or both. Baseball to me is both.

Ex-Yankee and Ranger Mental Game.
So Dr. Hanson, Are you the one that worked with A-ROD on his mental approuch to the game???
I'm sorry I couldn't help myself.
Dr. Hanson Welcome to the HSBBW.
What do you think of the idea of not taking thing's to seriously.
Keeps the pressure off I think.

SANDLOT! It teaches you about the good ol baseball days!
Tom, I've had the book you and Ken Ravizza co-authored for a number of years and still find it a nice resource. Glad to see that you have stopped in here.
I can't believe nobody's mentioned the greatest movie of all time...
Field of Dreams
also Talledega Nights is good cuz if you ain't first your last
another good movie which i just saw recently for the first time is The Pursuit of Happyness it kinda teaches that even at the roughest of times i.e. bases loaded no outs(pitching) or down by three in the last inning that all things are possible with hard work.
