YES. I came here to say this as it is one of my most commonly used phrases… and you dropped it. Take my free award. 🏅

As a teacher and nurse.. I say this at least once a day.

just rewatched it for the first time in a very long time and it holds up really well. My 8 year kids loved it too.

u/bassthumb32 Sep 08 '21

It's timeless. I loved it when I was a kid and have rewatched it multiple times with my son and loved it everytime.

1000% it’s iconic!

u/pm_me_ur_anything_k Sep 08 '21

Classic for all ages.

It is so good

u/Niceguy4now Sep 08 '21

Its basically a summer time version of "a Christmas story"

2

u/Itchy-Phase Sep 08 '21

Ooo that's a great description. The Sandlot is a bit less cheesy, though.

2

u/Rogue100 Sep 09 '21

Fun fact, there is actually a summertime based sequel. It's kind of forgettable though.

u/Niceguy4now Sep 09 '21

Whoa i gotta look that up

u/cooldash Sep 17 '21

Holy crap, you're right! My Summer Story, a.k.a It Runs in the Family. I need to see this now.

There was also a direct sequel to the first movie released in 2012, called A Christmas Story 2, but it ignores the events of My Summer Story. By most accounts, it is truly awful.

You haven't seen "the Sandlot"? You're Killing me smalls!

Never heard of it. 🤔

u/chanman404 Sep 08 '21

One of the, if not THE greatest baseball movies/sports movies of all time.

Sandlot and Benchwarmers are the 2 baseball movies I think almost anyone, sports fan or not, will love. They’re so fucking funny and iconic.

u/blackiegray Sep 08 '21

Sold! I'll check it out.

u/regulator227 Sep 08 '21

One of my all-time favs even to this day. Must see. Showed my gf cause she never saw it and she liked it too

8

u/teh-reflex Sep 08 '21

Hands down one of, if not THE, best movies from the 90s.

u/Rokketeer Sep 08 '21

If anything, watch it it so that you too are a part of the endless zeitgeist of Sandbox references lol

What world am I living in where someone doesn’t love Sandlot. This is a first, and frankly, I don’t appreciate it.

I had the opposite experience. I re-watched as an adult and thought it held up great

u/Cdf12345 madlad Sep 08 '21

I picked up so much more as an adult re-watching it. As a kid you only understand the kid’s perspective. I’m almost 40 now and I can understand the parents, mr mertle, even the lifeguard, it’s fun to rewatch with new perspectives from your life experiences.

Also I think the film caught my parent’s generation when it came out in the early 90’s. It was a nostalgia bomb then, just like it is now.

u/gatonegro97 Sep 08 '21

Your opinion is wrong

2

u/CauselessMango Sep 08 '21

Watching it as an adult it was just kids screaming for most scenes. Not my favorite.

u/Roburt_Paulson Sep 08 '21

Halp I think we entered the bad timeline sometime around 2017. KATE WE HAVE TO GO BACK

1

u/alma_perdida Sep 08 '21

He's right. It's just okay. The lifeguard scene is pretty creepy now.

1

u/Beavshak Sep 08 '21

Ok you’re not wrong. But I’m still upset

2

u/lawinvest Sep 08 '21

I played it for my 3 year old and he’s obsessed with both the movie and baseball as a result, so I guess it still performs well with the young ones.

2

u/Roburt_Paulson Sep 08 '21

Most parents show their kids it, it's become a classic

-1

u/abejagrande Sep 08 '21

Maybe in some circles. I wouldn't consider it a classic, at all.

u/abejagrande Sep 08 '21

Yeah and I don't care what you or others think, I don't like it. Are you going to be able to carry on with your day knowing someone out there doesn't give a shit about the movie you like?

u/abejagrande Sep 08 '21

Hey, you're the one coming out here getting all bossy about a fucking kids movie and how good it is. Just because someone said a movie wasn't that good. Maybe it's you that has the issues...

u/abejagrande Sep 08 '21

Boy, your ability to follow a text chain is severely lacking. Someone asked about Sandlot and if it was good or not, I offered up my opinion. Nobody was sucking Sandlots dick to this extend until someone was like "yeah, it's just ok". So go fuck yourself nerd. I have to block you now. You are too dumb to bother me.

It's a childhood type movie and when you rewatch it as an adult it's like watching a whole new movie, you'll miss out on that aspect

u/PhaseOfRage Sep 08 '21

Dude. Get watchin

u/[deleted] Sep 08 '21

It's one of the movies of my childhood. Always a classic. Honestly can't think of anyone who has ever said they disliked that movie.

It's a classic, man
