The perfect rewatchable scene movie. Moneyball might be the best baseball movie with as little as actual baseball as possible. Sure there are a few clips, slow motion plays and old news footage but nothing shown from Pitt's Beane' point of view.
It's sort of like Major League but the main character is a rightfully scorned former player turned GM, instead of a vengeful coach and team. There are many rewatchable scenes, but the whole movie has almost like these minor intermissions, sometimes just music playing to baseball or something about Billy Beane's career.
Rewatchable scenes include where Peter Brand is explaining to Pitt's character how teams should buy wins, not players.

How many assessments did you do? 47, actually 51. I don't know why I lied just there. Feels like Jonah Hill should have done his pitch better before he got hired.

The second best thing in the movie beyond Beane imposing Brand's ideas is the interaction between Beane and the lead scout and the head coach played by Philip Seymour Hoffman.
