Long Gone | Year: 1987 Directed: - Martin Davidson My review of the movei Long Gone I enjoyed every minute of the movie, I have watched it I don't know how many times, because Stud Cantrell is my favorite character in the movie, because Billy enjoys his baseball, it shows in his portrayal of Stud and also his love of women, he's a very charismatic actor & he was the life of the movie Long Gone and of course, he had a very capable cast with him, that role of Stud Cantrell seems, to me, like it was written for him.<BR>I absolutely love Long Gone every time I watch it, I'm from Australia, but I still enjoy learning about baseball and it's because of the movie too.<BR>Thanks for Long Gone and letting Billy play Stud, he IS Stud Cantrell. Second Best Baseball Movie Ever The first, of course, was The Natural, for pure 'love of the game' beauty and drama. But, hot diggedy DAWG, this is the best good time baseball movie ever! You can tell it was crafted with love and reverence by BASEBALL guys. The characters are loud and larger than life, while the Florida panhandle of the 50's swelters away, in all it's heavy, backroads charm. Petersen as Studs Cantrell is tour de force performance, Virginia Madsen glows with all the longin' of a small town girl just lookin' for a way out, and the rest of the cast is just as fabulous. The baseball sequences are first rate, alive with all the intrigue of the good ol' boy bush leagues of the time. And what do you mean, they couldn't play after being in a bar all afternoon? A guy named Babe Ruth made a career of it! We've been watching a grainy old VHS we taped the night it first aired on HBO, and can't wait for a DVD to finally be available. THIS MOVIE SUCKS! This movie was the worst baseball movie i had ever seen. It had a very predictable plot line and not very good acting (except for william peterson). The ending is the most fake ever. There is no way two guys can play a baseball game after sitting in a bar for half a day!!!! So i would not recomend this movie at all. If you want a baseball movie similar to this, that is a lot better and more realistic, get Bull Durham.
