This week on Forgotten Cinema, the Mikes hit the links with "Tin Cup", the sports comedy-drama starring Kevin Costner as the talented but self-destructive Roy McAvoy.

What makes this episode interesting is that Butler isn't a golf fan at all, while Field is a huge fan of the sport. Despite coming at the film from very different perspectives, both Mikes really enjoy it. Costner's Roy is a charming screw up, a man whose ego is often matched only by his self-doubt. His reluctance to take his shot in life makes him a surprisingly relatable character, and Costner balances the comedy and drama of the role effortlessly.

Field is also a big fan of how believable the golf feels throughout the film. Costner looks like a real golfer, plays like a real golfer, and helps sell the authenticity of the sport in a way many sports movies struggle to achieve.

With memorable performances, strong chemistry, plenty of laughs, and a protagonist who is easy to root for despite his flaws, "Tin Cup" proves that you do not have to love golf to love a great golf movie.

While the Mikes have a few small nitpicks, they agree that "Tin Cup" remains one of the most enjoyable sports films of the 1990s and a movie worth checking out whether you follow the sport or not.
