As the sunniest season comes to a close and school is back in session, it can be difficult to say goodbye to all the freedoms that summer break has to offer. And for those who have graduated from the educational era of their lives, it can feel a bit nostalgic to remember those youthful days back when the biggest decisions in life were based around what summery activities were on the agenda for the day. While it is impossible to travel back in time to relive those magical moments from the early years of life, there are many movies that serve as sentimental reminders of summer days from the past. One of the films that, even 30 years after its release, still steps up to the plate in this regard is The Sandlot.Set in 1962, The Sandlot, written and directed by David Mickey Evans, is a time capsule of an American summer complete with a group of best friends, baseball and a big dog known as the Beast. The Sandlot hit the theaters on April 7, 1993, and remains one of the best summer watches with iconic characters and memorable quotes, like “You’re killing me, Smalls,” that will never get old. But what truly makes The Sandlot such a summer flick is its coming-of-age story that resonates with older and younger generations. It is not just a story about baseball but a story about friendship both on and off the sandlot and how one summer can really change the course of one’s life.When revisiting any kind of movie that was released many years ago, one common question tends to pop up — does the movie still hold up? The Sandlot is no exception, having turned 30 in early 2023, and many millennials and zoomers may wonder if their childhood classic is now problematic. And while at an initial glance, it would be easy to assume that this movie may suffer from scrutiny and be a product of its time in the early 90s, The Sandlot surprisingly still holds up for the most part. It is by no means a perfect piece of cinema, but the characters and story beat in The Sandlot could easily be transposed into a different decade and still tell an equally effective story.RELATED: How The Simpsons Inspired a Real-Life Professional Baseball Team
