May 11, 2014 · I love the Natural and it by far my favourite baseball movie of all time. Robert Redford is just superb as Roy Hobbes and when he hits that game winning home run, that is one of Hollywoods greatest cinematic sports moments.

The Natural is a mythic and mesmerizing movie about America's national pastime and the heroism of a lonely individualist. Full Review | Jul 15, 2020
The Natural is a 1984 American sports film based on Bernard Malamud's 1952 novel of the same name, directed by Barry Levinson, and starring Robert Redford, Robert Duvall, Glenn Close, Kim Basinger, Wilford Brimley, Barbara Hershey, Robert Prosky and Richard Farnsworth.
Directed by Barry Levinson (this was his sophomore theatrical feature following Diner), the film is quite moving. Redford delivers a great, soft-spoken, naturalistic performance and he's paired with a solid all-star cast. Randy Newman's score is absolutely terrific, too. One of the best he's ever done.
