A classic masterpiece in film

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2003)

I am not going to sit here and write witty prose about The Natural. I'm just going to write that this film is one of the finest I have seen in any genre. I have seen this film perhaps 60 billion times. I just finished watching it again. It strikes a chord as fresh today as in 1984. An uplifting and wholesome film with a strong but simple message about the backbone of America. Redford's best film. A brilliant American film masterpiece.
