The Bad News Bears

Just watched (most of) The Bad News Bears — the original 1976 version, not the Billy Bob Thornton version (though the trailer for that one has been known to make me laugh out loud, particularly the “Nice hustle!” part). Walter Matthau is wonderful, and I really adored all those Bears, and I have to admit: I had actual tears in my eyes when Lupus caught that deep fly ball toward the very end. And how ’bout Courtship of Eddie’s Father’s Eddie walking off the field in that great scene between him and his movie dad, Coach Turner?

Chico’s Bail Bonds: “Let Freedom Ring”

: )

Can’t believe it took me 31 years [Edit: Uhm, make that 29 years!] to see this movie.
