9) “Bang the Drum Slowly”
Year of Release: 1973
The Coach: John D. Hancock
The Lineup: Michael Moriarty, Robert De Niro
The Pitch: Moriarty plays a star pitcher who takes a dying catcher (De Niro) under his wing. It may be set against the backdrop of baseball, but “Bang the Drum Slowly” – based on the novel by Mark Harris – is a beautifully told and moving story about the power of friendship.
