A League of Their Own (DVD, 2004, 2-Disc Special Edition)

In A League of Their Own, Penny Marshall directed this superb film. Rosie O'Donnell, Madonna and our Commander in Chief are stared in this women's baseball team started when the gentlemen had to go off to war. A great drama, comedy.

My husband and I are huge baseball fans and just love this movie. It needed to be in our DVD collection. This version is excellent because it gives you tons of extras including interviews with the actors.

This is a Must-Have for fans of Geena Davis and Tom Hanks, who carry this movie...Geena as "Dottie Hinson", Starting Catcher and Slugger of the Rockford Peaches, playing in the All-American Girls Baseball League during World War II, with "Kit Kelly", her younger sister played by Lori Petty, striving to overcome her big sister's shadow. Jon Lovitz is surprisingly strong as Ernie Capadino, the Scout who signs up the sisters to play for the Peaches, and Bill Pullman has a cameo as Bill, Dottie's husband returning crippled from the war.
The Peaches, with Rosie O'Donnell and Madonna playing tough teammates from New Jersey, are managed by "Jimmy Dugan", played convincingly by Tom Hanks, former Big League Baseball Star turned alcoholic, but is transformed by coaching the Peaches.
As the story develops, the Peaches go through some growing pains as a team, but come together to become one of the hottest teams in the league.
As sisters on the same team, Kit constantly challenges Dottie about outshining her, never being able to overcome her big sister's shadow...always an easy strikout victim because she "likes to swing at the high ones." Finally, frustrated with her sister, Dottie tells GM Ira Lowenstein, played by David Strathern, to Trade her. Instead of trading his star player, Kit gets traded to the Racine Belles for a striking blonde pitcher played by Janet Jones(now Mrs. Wayne Gretzky).
The film comes to a showdown between the best two teams in the League, Racine and Rockford in the Championship Game, Sister Kit pitching against Dottie and a chance to rise above the Giant shadow cast by her sister.. climaxing with a play at the plate!
A Wonderful story about a Women's Professional Baseball League that was a popular diversion from the War and the transformation of these women from a sideshow into a competitive team. "This Used To Be Our Playground" is the theme song sung by Madonna, with an excellent segue from the modern "Women in Baseball" exhibit at the Baseball Hall of Fame, flashing back to the 1940's and the magical first season of the league, then segueing back to the Dedication of the Exhibit and a reunion of the former players.

FIVE STARS for this "Chick Flick" that even a guy can enjoy!

Tom Hanks and Geena Davis star in Penny Marshall's 1992 comedy.
A woman reflects on her experience with her sister and friends
becoming part of the first all-girl baseball league. This is a
terrific film with a good cast. Tom Hanks and Geena Davis had
great chemistry together and I'm happy I got this 2-disc special
edition. It not only has nice picture and sound, but great extras.
I definitely recommend adding this classic film to your collection.

i love this movie but unfortunately, i never got it. i paid the seller for this movie plus two others, but they never sent them. weeks later i get a notice from ebay saying that i got a no payment strike on my account. i filed a claim with paypal and they ruled in my favor so i got my money back. which is the only good thing that happened with this transaction.

We enjoyed the movie. Seen movie on TV with commercials, so we wanted the DVD so we could watch all the movie with out commercials.

Tom Hanks, Gina Davis, Enough said? This movie is fun for all. A Baseball story to rate up their with The Natural, Pride of the Yankees, and Major League.

This movie is great because it is not only about sports, so if that is why you have not seen it, because you're not a sports person, get out and see it because baseball is just the back drop to this amazing tale of family and relationships that are pushed to the limit in order to meet a common goal. Tom Hanks is wonderful as the manager. By the end of the movie you just feel so good about yourself, and how every one has good inside of them if you just take the time to find out.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT IS IT'S A GREAT MOVIE AND I'M GLAD I FOUND IT. I DECIDED TO BUY IT BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND IN ANY OTHER STORE. I THANK YOU GUYS.

I got the DVD A League of Their Own a couple of weeks ago because I have always liked it. I found it on ebay new and sealed for a good price and I recieved it just the way it was described when I bid on it.

Its a good movie great for all. A lot of well known stars great storyline. It makes you laugh and cry.

Base on a true story this movie have the charm of the 40'S with a perfect casting. Tom Hanks is wonderful as disabused trainer. Geena Davis have a role of wife that play in most part for her sister Lori Petty and Madonna and the others girls make the ambiance. A wonderful movie with a little touch of real human emotion that make it better.

I expecially wanted to give A League Of Their Own DVD to our granddaughter along with her first baseball and fielder's glove for her birthday. I wanted to give her a new product in its original wrapping, so she would know it was not someone's cast-off. I was very pleased to receive exactly what I had ordered in a timely manner and at a fair shipping price.

great cast. great story. great directing. did i mention the amazing cast??? Geena Davis, Tom Hanks, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O'Donnell... and Penny Marshall directing?! I saw this movie for the first time in the theatre when i was only 12 and it is still one of my favorites. But girls playing baseball?? Love it! "There's no crying in baseball"... well not until that tear-jerking ending which melts you.

I bought A League Of Their Own DVD for my daughter for her birthday. She loves it! I received it just as it was described when I was shopping for it. My daughter actually requested it because the one we had was beginning to mess up. She lets her friends borrow it as well. If you have not seen this movie yet, get a copy of it, you'll be glad you did.
