(Barry Levinson, 1984, 138 min) Based on the 1952 novel by Bernard Malamud, The Natural is equal parts American epic, sports fantasy, and film noir with a touch of magical realism. It could be smooth sailing for Wonderboy Roy Hobbs, the young rising star trying out for the big leagues, but he’s sidetracked by a mysterious woman and her cruel intentions. In this career spanning tale imbued with wonder and mystery by Randy Newman’s iconic, Oscar Nominated, Coplandesque score, something’s always in the air. It’s hard to say just what it is. Starring Robert Redford, Glenn Close, Robert Duvall, Kim Basinger, and Wilford Brimley.
