At the onset of World War II, with most adult males serving in the army, baseball owners came up with the ingenious idea of forming an all-female baseball league. A League of Their Own tells that story through sisters Dottie (Geena Davies) and Kit (Lori Petty), who are enlisted to be part of the Rockford Peaches. Tom Hanks turns in a memorable performance as their alcoholic manager, while Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell play fellow Peaches with their own distinctive flair. The film is an easy, feel-good watch that doesn't require you to know a whole lot about baseball or even sports. It has a dynamic choreography to it, but A League of Their Own remains a classic because it's an expert blend of comedy, drama, and history.
