“Bull Durham” (1988)
The story: A romantic triangle between two minor-league baseball players (Kevin Costner and Tim Robbins) and the groupie (Susan Sarandon) who seduces them both.
Bromance rating: A perfect 10. Regularly cited as one of the greatest sports movies ever made—yet it still classifies as a romantic comedy!
Was it successful?: Crude, rascally, irreverent, infused with a knowledge and love of baseball that could only come from a veteran of the game (writer, director, and former minor-leaguer Ron Shelton)—this is a guy's movie through and through. Plus, there’s Costner's quotable monologue of deeply held beliefs (in "the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch," among other manly favorites), while Sarandon’s smarts, strength and sex appeal balances out the swaggering.
