The Sandlot (1993) - A Family Film About Baseball and a Big Dog! - Rental Reviews

[@mecca.9025]

I'm 21 and I grew up adoring this movie! I'm not a boy, and I don't play baseball, but I found myself deeply relating with the kids and loving the story. Every scene is memorable, and the lessons and characters still hold up to this day for me.

What a beautiful nostalgia trip disguised in a super-convincing and natural story about boyhood. This just absolutely nails what it's like to grow up as a young, adventurous boy before the time of smartphones. Going outside, playing backyard sports, riding bikes, swimming at the pool, attending a local carnival, playing in a treehouse - it simply romanticizes childhood, which is why this film is timeless.

I talk about The Sandlot in the same way most people my age talk about The Goonies.

[@CommodoreFan64]

I do the same with both, but I think the Goonies edges out Sandlot, simply because Cindy Lauper, along with the various WWF wrestlers at the time did the music video for the movie, which was an MTV premiere event in itself at the time.

[@3Rayfire]

They deserve to be spoken of in the same breath. True classics of the age.

[@starwarsunfiltered7848]

The Goonies is so overrated. I dunno...I saw it on VHS when it came out in the 80s, and it was okay. But I just don't see the huge appeal. I revisited it a couple times since, and it's like...whatever. I have a lot more nostalgia and fondness for stuff like Star Wars, Robocop, Aliens, Labyrinth, and Top Gun. The Goonies is kind of weak.

[@Curbjaw]

I think most of the romance with the Goonies was that it was an adventure kids would have loved to gone through... but I was more of the Sandlot kind of kid, my childhood summers were spent at the local BMX track and playing street hockey... the Sandlot friendship was almost spot on with my group of friends

[@Richard_Nickerson]

[@JebusMatoi]
