âą The Natural
đŹThe Natural (1984): On the way to a tryout with the Chicago Cubs, young baseball phenom Roy Hobbs (Robert Redford) is shot by the unstable Harriet Bird (Barbara Hershey). After 16 years, Hobbs returns to pro baseball as a rookie for the last-place New York Knights. Despite early arguments with his manager, Pop Fisher (Wilford Brimley), Hobbs becomes one of the best players in the league, and the Knights start winning. But this upsets the Judge (Robert Prosky), their owner, who wants Hobbs to lose games, not win.

My dears, whatâs your favourite baseball movie?
Moneyball
This one - "The Natural," the only one that gets the mythology of the game, which is what it's all about.
While I have always enjoyed The Natural, my favorite is Bull Durham. It's even funnier than Wilford Brimley talking about farming.
Loved a league of their own!!!
Bad News Bears
The best baseball movie ever made. It has sports, a little fantasy, and a love story all mixed into one movie. An absolute masterpiece.
Brimley was awesome, but I've always admired Richard Farnsworth as the understated sidekick who clearly and quietly understands and supports his manager, and who quietly advises his boss as needed. The following scene, where Red awkwardly tries to make conversation over a get-to-know-you dinner with Hobbs was also awesome. Both men played their roles to perfection.
He's great. His is so much a great supporting role that if you don't look right at him, he is just part of the mosaic. If you watch this scene a couple of times, you can see that his character has heard this rant a hundred times, and you're right there with him, and he's trying to get Pop to do something to get him and the team out of that rut.
I love it when Pop rants and rants, and finally he says that his mom died, and Farnsworth just says, âtough.â So many ways to take that one word the way he says it. You donât know if heâs being sarcastic or supportive or just giving an âuh-huhâ kind of response. One of my favorite lines in the movie.
@@deliaguzman1138 It's great because it captures the relationship between the men. The mildly sarcastic "Tough" is Red's "uh huh" or "I hear you" to a dear friend who's griping to let off steam in a bad moment, the minimum noise to make to show you're "engaged" in what is more of a frustrated rant than a real conversation. The bored way he says "Tough" also shows he's heard this precise rant probably dozens of times before during bad days with a last place team. There's so much going on, and it's both a well-written as well as a well-acted scene.
Yeah, Perfect acting by both. Bench coach and crazy old manager.
One of the greatest sports movies ever made and this is coming from a guy that doesnât even like baseball.
The same happened with James Earl Jones, delivering the greatest baseball speech in movie history as Terrence Mann in Field Of Dreams, although Jones isn't a baseball fan. He also played Leon Carter, based on Josh Gibson, in The Bingo Long Travelling All Stars And Motor Kings ! and was excellent at it.
Wilford Brimley's best scene, bar none, in any movie he ever did. He just knocked the cover off of the ball.
Now that you mention it --- he's got a LOT of good scenes spanning 3 decades or more. Off the top of my head: THE CHINA SYNDROME, THE THING, ABSENCE OF MALICE, COCOON, THE NATURAL, THE FIRM.
Eat your oatmeal, beeeeeotches.
He was awfully good in "Absence of Malice" too! (Despite his limited role.)
That was cinematic brilliance. Willard Brimley love that guy
Wilford Brimley stole this movie. A brilliant combination of irascible, angry, and cantankerous. But the way he goes from disliking Roy from the beginning to warming up to him to flat out admiring him is one of the best story arcs in the movie. Pop Fisher is ranting at the beginning of this scene about how "I shoulda been a farmer" not realising that the guy who just walked into the dugout with a trombone case is the epitome of the midwestern farm boy.
Fantastic acting.. just a simple monologue!!!!!!! Rare sight in today's movies
O brilliant, semi mythical, sports movie.
One of my favourites.
Probably the best baseball movie I have ever seen and I play cricket
A lot of hitting for sixes to coin a phrase.
@@Snoopydad No never hit a six in my playing days I was just there to make up the numbers
My daughter graduated from the University of Colorado in Boulder. Unbeknownst to me, found out that Robert Redford played baseball for them and may have even been on a scholarship there. There's no CGI in play when it comes to him connecting with a ball ( however the distance may come into question). Great movie.
Fun fact: Wilfred Brimley was 1 year and 11 months older than Robert Redford.
Can't beetus
Itâs a factâŠbut not fun.
Perfectly cast, wonderful film
One of the best sports movies ever made. Excellent cast by Redford, Duvall, McGavin. Levinson never directed better, Caleb Deschanel gorgeous photography. They changed the ending, but they had to. This might be Redford's finest performance.
With this film, all the planets of the universe aligned perfectly â€â€
It's never just another title. It's memories immortalized.
The salvation army band đđđ
The fact that wilford brimley and robert redford are only 2 years apart baffles me...
Magic
Best damn hitter i ever seen.
Peace âïž 2024
This movie is great . Try watching 42 also . Both are awesome
This is just a GREAT movie in every way!!! In my to 25 All Time! (BTW - do not read the book - EVER! You know how everyone always says, "the book was better!" this is THE exception to that rule! )
The book had a darker ending, definitely not Hollywood. Is that what you are worried about.
@@tatata1543 Beyond depressing ending.
Good filmmaking Bob đ
Liked the movie a lot better than the book.
Hinkle did in fact âcome onâ and batted .426 the rest of the way to lead the NL with 126 RBIâs and vault the Knights from 8th to 7th.
Letâs get serious: the Angels couldnât get to .500 with Trout and Ohtani. If one great player was all it took to make a team great, Indian Bob Johnson wouldâve participated in several World Series.
I remember finding an early Twilight Zone episode, where Robert Redford shows up at the door of an old woman in an apartment.
She discerns that he's probably death who's come to claim her--you know, to die.
He has to put on a good showing, to convince her it will be alright afterwards.
He was so young in that part. But, even so he was very convincing
If that could have been done any better, by anyone else, I don't know how.
I seem to remember that I read an article in a popular magazine somewhere. It could have been Time, or Newsweek.
No matter.
It said women liked him because of good looks. And, men liked him because in spite of the looks, he wasn't threatening to them.
I have to agree with all of that. He was believable in his roles. And, men didn't seem to mind going to Robert Redford movies with their wives.
Every time I see a movie these days, I think about the fact that we're mortal, and our days are numbered.
I wish Redford had made more movies. I consider him to be irreplaceable.
I liked the manager in Major League better. He knew a good team when he saw it.
make this whole movie free! Its old.
Well we sure need somebody.
Phil Mankowski was on the Knights.
classic
Man do the White Sox need this guy right about now!
Just love Gene Hackman playing Roy Hobbs
You mean Robert Redford
@@Venturakid Gene is such a good actor. They really should have gotten Robert Redford or Al Pacino.But Hackman just nails his part here in Hoosiers. Great baseball movie. I heard The Natural is a great movie about basketball.
The judge signed his own death warrant with that contract. You knew he also thought that scout had lost his mind, and he couldnât wait to sign another bum for this team.
Diabeetus
did he say hebrew oilers semi pro? or is it hebo?
Heber Oilers
@@Venturakid thanks you must have better ears or headphones than me
How the hell is Wilford Brimley in his 40's here? He looks like an old man
He was born old. One of those guys. Plus his generation went through tough times that ages someone through and through.
This is a very good movie, but RUDY is better, makes me cry everytime!
I'm not understanding the comparison.
@@meanmachine6281 I am talking about sport movies, The Natural is baseball and Rudy is football!
What ever happened to GOOD movies?
Robert Redford is such a stiff actor brimly and farnsworth are awesome
DIABEETUS.
Bull duram is overrated.
For the love of the game is kinda weird
Moneyball still too new.
Major league #3. Bob ucher is hilarious.
The natural # 2
Feild of dreams #1
Kevin Costner makes my list only once.
Twice
Field of Dreams is not a baseball movie. Bull Durham is a movie about the love of the game, and for that reason alone, it is probably the best of them all.
While field of dreams is a superior film in many regards, this is the better âbaseballâ film. This film is the legend, the dream, the magic of baseball. This is the embodiment of why baseball is what it is. Itâs the myth, baseballâs odyssey.
I canât say I disagree with anything you just said. âKinda weirdâ is exactly how I describe For Love of the Game.
You forgot The Sandlot. From 1984-1993 was a sick baseball run.. The Natural, Bull Durham, Eight Men Out, Field of Dreams, Major League, The Sandlot. Even had movies like Rookie of the Year, Little Big League, and Angels in the Outfield. Not to mention Naked Gun had a big baseball component.
How many fans are there? Ridiculous.
Looks like the stands at an Oakland A's game. Liberal politicians ruined the City of Oakland and cheap owners ruined the baseball team. No sane person wants to go to Oakland to watch a bad team play in an 3rd World city....
That was the beginning of the end for Redford.
47 year old actor pretends to play 19 year old pitcher who strikes out another 47 year old actor pretending to be a 35 year old best player in baseball. Then the 19 (but really 47 ) year old gets seduced by an older woman, who is actually ten years younger than the not really 19 year old. Worst casting in a sports movie ever.
You need to overlook the Hobbes pitching sequence, but get real, Redford playing a 37 year old was hardly a stretch, especially in the period where people looked older at much younger ages.
