Behind The Scenes Of Iconic Movies

The Sandlot

Oh, lord. I saw the “Sandlot” once with my family when it first came out on video. My memories of this movie are so vague. I’ll do my best here: OK, there’s a kid in the ‘60s who’s shy, and he loves Erector Set. He moves to a new town, and he starts playing baseball with other kids in the neighborhood. One of them’s fat and one of them’s a nerd and one of them’s latino. Sometimes they go to the public pool where there’s a sexy blonde lifeguard. The nerd fakes drowning so he can French the sexy lifeguard. There’s a giant dog in the neighborhood who terrorizes the baseball kids. I think the movie ends with a baseball game for high stakes against some bullies. And then, just before the credits, it probably says one of the kids later died in Vietnam, because they’d always pull that shit in movies from the ‘90s that are set in the ‘60s.
