Moneyball

I'm not much of a sports enthusiast, but I do like baseball movies. Because they generally manage to extract out all the dullness of watching the sport and to just a few montage sequences and high spots. And while Moneyball has those, its mostly about how the Billy Beane of the Oakland Athletics used statistical analysis to send his low-budget franchise on a twenty-game winning streak that took them into the playoffs. Brad Pitt does a stellar job as Beane, plus Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the A's head coach and Jonah Hill is great as the Yale economics grad who pushes the different way of building a baseball team...
