Favorite Cinema Moments: Part 37

The Natural.

I love baseball. I showed this film to my wife for the first time and she thought it was cheese-ball. I grew up watching it and I think that magical element was fun for a kid to watch. Definitely the only movie I can think of with Glenn Close looking more pretty than handsome. Click her name to see what remake she'll supposedly star in soon. Also, for those who didn't know yet, this is her too in Hook:


Just as a footnote, growing up, I watched it on a VHS tape. It was recorded from HBO or something, and the movie recorded right after it was "Sixteen Candles." It was fun watching those movies over and over again, back-to-back. There was also some other tapes like:
"9-to-5" and "The Buddy System"
"Adventures in Babysitting" and "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitters Dead"
"Wargames" and "Max Dugan's Return"
"Bloodsport and "Kickboxer"
Funny, the things a person remembers.

I think this is going to be the musical version she's doing. Stupid idea anyway.

The last five minutes of The Natural make my hairs stand on end. Look out for the directors cut.
