I know that I had the Director’s Cut version of “The Natural” on my Amazon Wish List (where my sister ordered my gifts) and I had no problem owning and watching it. It was just that jarring feeling I had as I sat down and began viewing something that I’d seen (and enjoyed) countless times to suddenly feel as if I was seeing something I’d never seen before. And since these were scenes that were cut from the original, I was in fact seeing it for the first time.

All in all, it’s still, IMO, a GREAT movie!
