OT - the movie, 6th Game

[Mudcat]

This is recently out on DVD and I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen it and what you thought.

The title refers to the 6th game of the 1986 World Series (the game of the infamous Buckner incident.) The movie follows the movements of a Red Sox fan (played by Michael Keaton) that day.

It's not exactly a sports movie though. The game is just one part of the story; there is a lot more going on.

It probably doesn't have mass appeal but I liked it and just thought I would mention it in case there are any fans of the writer Don DeLillo about.

Dang, I honestly don't remember ever hearing about this flick. Will have to check it out. Thanks for the info, Mud.

Well, I'd be interested to hear what you think. We haven't talked about movies enough for me to know your taste.

On the positive side, if you don't like it, at least it's not very long.

Willie, for what it's worth, here are some opinions on the movie from the so-called "experts"....

Picked it up in the video store in the last month. Honestly it looked good, but the fact that it had the Red Sox/sports tie in made me put it down. Will have to check it out.
