  Pastime (1991)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
The main plot sets the movie in baseball's postwar era, and bits like an ancient team bus and vaguely recognizable songs seem to plant the movie in the 1950s, the places are deliberately generic all-American--it's hard to tell if this is California or the Midwest or Anytown, USA, but it doesn't matter.
This abstraction keeps "Pastime" focused on its story, but never makes it seem fake--we *think* we recognize these places, because they're so familar, but they're never quite placeable.
The characters are similarly familiar, almost to the point of cliche (well, ok, naming a fl player Tyrone *is* cliche) but thanks to a strong, heartfelt performances by the lead actor William Russ, they become archetypes, rather than cliches.

 Behind scenes, Pastime Theatre takes shape
Instead, his eyes dart to the remnants of the old Pastime, and a vision of what he hopes it will be someday.
Besides movies and music, foundation members plan to make the Pastime available (for a fee) to community theater groups, private residents for parties, organizations that could use the place for fund-raisers and special events —; even as a reception hall for weddings and other big events.
Volunteers hoping to restore the Pastime Theatre need only look to the other side of Narragansett Bay for inspiration, as a classic old vaudeville house in East Greenwich once faced the same fate as Bristol's but has since become a resounding success.
