Weekend Classics: Batter Up!: 'Bull Durham'
Belcourt Theatre
Sun, Mar 23 All day
It’s late March, which means pro baseball is officially back. And even if Music City can’t seem to land an MLB team, Nashville fans of America’s pastime have something else to look forward to. In honor of baseball season, and the release of Eephus, the Belcourt has put together a Weekend Classics series of some of the best movies set on the diamond. The series closes with what is, in my opinion, the best baseball movie: Bull Durham. Ron Shelton’s 1988 romantic comedy set in the world of minor league baseball has everything you could possibly want from a film — a love triangle, sports-related drama, witty banter, peak Kevin Costner, peak Susan Sarandon, and Tim Robbins playing a wild-child pitcher named Nuke LaLoosh. Bull Durham ran so Challengers could fly. The March 23 showing will feature an introduction from Scene editor-in-chief D. Patrick Rodgers. Visit belcourt.org for showtimes. LOGAN BUTTS
