A League of Their Own

A League of Their Own (1992) is a comedy-drama from Columbia Pictures you can watch online on iFILM. Director Penny Marshall follows the women's professional baseball circuit that sprang up across the American Midwest in 1943 — when every able-bodied man had shipped out to war.

Sisters Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) and Kit Keller (Lori Petty) land on the same team and immediately start competing with each other as hard as they compete against anyone else. Their coach, Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), is a washed-up slugger who arrives drunk and barely bothers to learn the players' names. Madonna plays outfielder Mae Mordabito, bringing a streetwise edge to a squad that has no business working as well as it does.

The film earned over $130 million against a $40 million budget, and "There's no crying in baseball" has been part of the cultural vocabulary ever since. Stream A League of Their Own (1992) in full on iFILM.
