Baseball Flicks

Vulture has a list of The 16 Best Movies That Tell the History of Baseball, which I will now judge.

Eight Men Out - good movie that's made by its stunningly awesome cast.
Headin' Home - never heard of it, but sounds like Babe Ruth propaganda as made by Babe Ruth.
The Babe Ruth Story - never seen it.
The Babe - I remember seeing this in the theater and recall it less about Babe Ruth as a baseball player and more like "wow did the Babe eat a lot of hot dogs during games!!!"
Cobb - incredibly entertaining movie though it's probably mostly untrue.
The Pride of the Yankees - never seen it.
A League of Their Own - LOVE. Not just as a baseball movie, but its one of my all-time movies overall.
The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars - I remember seeing this on tv, like on a Sunday morning, as a kid. Can't remember much other than it's a great cast of its time.
The Jackie Robinson Story - never seen it.
42 - Caught a few minutes and it was stunningly, embarrassingly terrible. Ugh.
Fear Strikes Out - never seen it, though in these days of worrying about each other's mental health it may be interesting to watch.
61* - LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Perfectly cast, a real passion project for Billy Crystal. All-time scene with Maris yelling at Mantle to get his shit together. "You're Mickey Mantle, for chrissake!"
No No: A Dockumentary: never seen. No interest.
Moneyball - very watchable movie. Though less about baseball to me and more about watching Brad Pitt walk around being Brad Pitt.
Sugar - never heard of it.
Ken Burn's Baseball: what can I say? A perfect series I immerse myself in every year or so.

How the hell were Bull Durham and Bang the Drum Slowly left off this list?
