Good baseball movie. One to watch when you're sick.
All time classic. Redford at his best. Babes all movie about more than just simple baseball games.
The Natural feels like a fairy tale, expertly spun for us to enjoy the majesty of baseball. Redford is terrific in the lead.
One of the best baseball movies ever made.
Feel good baseball fable. It does lag in parts and may go on a bit long, but top can’t beat that ending.
This is a marvelous baseball movie the ladt scene steals the show
In the immortal words of Brad Pitt, how can you not be romantic about baseball?
A baseball fairytale, beautifully shot and scored. Few folks capture the grace, awe and wonder the game can inspire like this one.
Good versus evil not so subtly disguised but still mesmerizing. The cast is fantastic, the story riveting and the ending unforgettable.
One of the best baseball movies ever made. Great relief in the end of the movie.
