What our customer's say!

"Black Eye in Baseball", Eight Men Out tells the story about one of baseball's darkest days; the 1919 World Series scandal. Eight baseball players from the White Sox team decide to throw the World Series due to the own of the team poor treatment to the players. Though one of them, Buck Weaver, defends his innocents. The movie seems to be true to fact, but it suggests it all took place in the same year. The players were not banned from baseball til the end of the 1920. If nothing else, like the period clothing back then.

"If You Are A Baseball Or Movie Fan", It is hard to believe that this movie is 20 years old already, it seems like yesterday that it was released, and this disc does it justice.

If you are a baseball fan of any level you probably know of the infamous Black Sox Scandel and the "fix" of the World Series, which rocked the baseball world much like the steroid issue today.

In Eight Men Out, the scandel is chronicled in a first class movie. The acting is superb throughout and the events surrounding the "fix" are well done. When the scandel is placed in the context of how baseball was during those times - players were far from having any power with respect to the owners - the nuances of how and why people reacted the way they did becomes more telling. Not as a justification for their actions, but more for how it could happen.

Even if you are not a baseball fan, this movie stands on its own and the collector's edition is one worth having.

"Great Movie", This is a great movie!
We watched it as a family. It has great lessons throughout. It's great to have a film that depicts such a pivotal event in sports history with such a great storyline- even better that it's not rated R!


"Five star new edition!", The new edition is a nice upgrade, since it includes several behind the scenes documentaries which give a lot of background regarding the choice of actors, interviews with the director and actors, and info regarding the sets and filming of the movie. The picture looks very sharp, and the soundtrack is 5.1. If you are a fan of this film, you will find the new edition well worthwhile.

"My favorite baseball movie", I just read Roger Ebert's review of this movie and was amazed that he said you have to be a baseball insider to understand it. ???? I'm certainly not an insider, not even an avid fan, but I had no trouble following the story. In fact, I thought it was told with unusual clarity and elegance. And the actors were perfectly cast. Each seemed to slip into his role as comfortably as an old shoe. They weren't actors playing ball players. They were ball players. The movie flowed perfectly as the gamblers first approached a couple of the more receptive players. You could easily see the others being slowly drawn into the fix by the lure of easy money. You could also see, even before the players did, that they were nothing more than suckers themselves. They would not get the money - ever. Go to bed with criminals expect to get robbed. Roger Ebert was concerned about the way the "fix" unfolded, saying it was far too obvious. Of course it was! That's why they were caught!

Some of the other reviews here justify the actions of these players, based on the way their owner treated them. Man! That's certainly 2008 logic. They commited a serious criminal act! What's so hard to understand. Are we now at a point where unfair treatment legitimizes criminal actions? Yeah, many of the owners were most likely rotten. Yeah, the players were not treated fairly but NO, that doesn't justify their actions, including the ones who were guilty by omission. They let themselves down, they let the league down, but most of all, they let the fans down (Remember, "Say it ain't so, Joe?") Judge Landis was a tyrant but he did the right thing.

The last scene, where a much older Bucky Weaver sits in the bleachers of some nameless sandlot ballpark watching his old team mate, Joe Jackson, play is heartbreaking and sums up the movie perfectly.

The bottom line is: this movie is a wonderful example of intelligent story-telling and film-making. I'm not a big fan of Sayles usually but he knocked this one out of the park.

"Eight Men Out", Excellent movie protraying a time gone by, when things were quite different and yet still the same in baseball. What the players did was wrong, but you still felt sorry for them, and wished it didn't happen. So many lives and careers were destroyed through greed and stupidity.

I felt the acting was quite good. Anyone who loves baseball and especially baseball history would enjoy this movie.

"SOX GET WASHED!", Over the last couple of decades we have had a few excellent movies made about the game of baseball. This particular movie concentrates on the Chicago White Sox scandal of 1919. Several players agreed to accept money to throw some games in the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. The event became known as "The Black Sox Scandal" but that was not the reason why they became known as "The Black Sox". The real story behind that nickname is that the owner of the White Sox discovered he could save a few nickels by having the team be responsible individually for their own clothing maintenance. This resulted in shabby appearances in their uniforms and therefore "Black Sox" became the team name. Well, the fact is that the owner was gracious to those who could make him look good, as in the press. He is shown treating them like gold. The players are treated as some sort of bottom feeding basement trolls who don't deserve anything but leftover scraps from the King's table. The truth lies somewhere in-between and this movie conveys the message very well. There are not many major actors, no big leads, but the film plays out well and there are interesting game scenes in what is basically almost a clean movie. There was no radio back then so every situation was delivered over morse code messages by wire. It is very entertaining, interesting and portrays the era well enough. Well worth a viewing.

"A reality check for Baseball fans", The Black Sox were a great team. i doubt Joe Jackson and Bucky Weaver threw the seris.Eight Men out made me mad and a little down, if they did it who else did? This is a good movie if you get a sick feeling from it youre not alone. Great job by this cast.

"An unpopular position", To the best of my knowledge, nobody but Aaron Sorkin has ever put plausible words in the mouths of magnates and robber barons to explain their unreasonable obsession with the profit motive.
(Steven Weber as Jack Rudolph in Studio 60, Nevada Day Part 2.)
Having said that, I'd like to add that there really IS more gut-clenching baseball in this film than in all of the others I've lately begun collecting. And the baseball MATTERS to Anybody because the central characters are exquisitely drawn and beautifully realized by a truly wonderful cast of exceptionally fine actors...except Komisky, who Clifton James makes perfectly contemptible.
On the other hand, Bill Irwin actually speaks! That fact all by its lonesome justifies the expenditure. And it's a GREAT motion picture.

"One of best baseball movies ever", Without a doubt, this stands as one of the great baseball movies. Unlike "The Natural" or "Field of Dreams", this is a true story- that of the 1919 Chicago White Sox and their plot to throw the World Series spurred on by the miserly ways of their owner Charlie Commiskey. The movie brings to life early 20th century baseball and all of the many actors are very good in their parts. Bringing to life people, events, and an era almost a century old are not easy but it is very well done here.
I think the movie will appeal to non baseball fans also as the film is more concerned with the drama of the characters rather than the "X"s and "O"s of baseball.
