  1. My movie is Major League. I wait all winter for spring training to start. Finally the regular season begins. I have baseball to watch all summer.

    The movie I would choose is The Long, Hot Summer because that is what it has been this year.

    1. Bonnie, if you watch that movie you will see Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Orson Wells, and they are always formidable. But does the date August 6, 1945, make you think of a different movie?
