The Sandlot

The Sandlot is a movie that I don't think can ever get old. It reminds me of when I was a kid and would meet up with all my friends in my neighborhood and not return home until the street lights went out, and was time for dinner. If you have never seen this movie, I highly recommend you watch it. It is about a young boy that moves into this unfamiliar town and meets this group of boys who play baseball everyday, have sleep overs in a tree house, and tell ghost stories about this "monster" that eats all of their baseballs that get hit out of the park and over the fence. One of my favorite parts of the movie is when it was way too hot one day to play ball so they decide to go to the pool. As they all are goofing around and checking out all the ladies at the pool, one of the boys whose been crushing on this blonde lifeguard all summer and can't swim jumps off the diving board. All of the boys were very confused and worried because they knew he couldn't swim, but as the lifeguard pulled him out of the pool and lays him on the deck he opens his eyes and gives all of the boys a slick little wink. They realize what he is doing and as the lifeguard goes in for mouth to mouth, he lays a big one on her! They all get thrown out of the pool and are told never to come back. As they are running out, they are all hysterically laughing and asking him what he was thinking! I don't want to ruin the whole movie for y'all but to end the movie they tell you where everyone is today, which is really cute and pulls the whole movie together. They shoot to the "new boy" from the crew sitting in a sky box announcing a baseball game, talking about the batter up who's actually Benjamin, another one of the boys. They turn out to be best friends and still share the love for baseball. A great end to an amazing movie!
