Tin Cup is unique. It’s about a sport that I would wager most people find pretty uneventful. It’s a comedy, but it isn’t slapstick like Caddyshack or The Longest Yard. Most of all, our hero doesn’t win in the end;…

Time to celebrate Rookie of the Year’s 25th anniversary! I’ll be honest — Rookie of the Year (1993) will never be near as good as The Sandlot (1993), but it’s sure funny. The lovable film stars Thomas Ian Nicholas as Henry…
