Legend is genuinely one of my favorite movies. I saw it when I was a kid, and it's still way up there for me. Tim Curry's Darkness is so compelling and perfect. Personally, I would put Legend above most of these. With Alien and Blade Runner being the only two above it.

thanks for the comments! I appreciate Legend but I guess I need to rewatch it soon with someone that hasn’t seen it yet. the ratings are based on a number of factors, including scores from movie websites and published lists I found on the internet. I’ll consider adjusting my math formula if Legend should be higher.

My favorite is "Something for Joey". It was released as a theatrical movie in Japan. However, it is not even included in your complete list. Is it because it's too old or because it was just a TV film in the US?

Knute Rockne All American should have been on the list even if it was from a long time ago. Then again, it may have been seen differently but not for an actor in it becoming President of the United States and continually quoting one of his lines, which the real person never said.

Scrooged is definitely a classic Christmas movie, but this list is specifically for the old movies 1934-1974. might make a few more lists 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s, etc. too many good Christmas movies

A glaring omission is "The Stratton Story". The true story of Monty Stratton who works his way into the major leagues becomes an all star pitcher only to have a hunting accident losing his right leg. Stratton is played by Jimmy Stewart. Also "Bang the Drum Slowly" and the movie "Fear Strikes Out" are much better than some of the films listed.

thank you for the comments! i will consider changes and adjust the math formula for future videos. the movies you mentioned are currently on my complete list of 138 movies but didn't make my initial Top20 (#22 Bang the Drum Slowly, #30 The Stratton Story, #31 Fear Strikes Out). one criteria for my list is film popularity (box office and number of votes). these movies had fewer ratings from users and critics than others with similar overall scores. hopefully i can fix that for next time. here is a link to my complete list (revised occasionally based on new information) letterboxd.com/alexquinney/list/baseball/
