I read the book first, and perhaps some of my enjoyment for this story is because of that, but I just think the movie was well done too. Roy Hobbs is a character that was well-played by Redford, and some of the scenes in that movie are great!

Yup, excellent film; one of the three sports movies I was willing to pick. The use of light and shadow in this film is a fantastic motif that runs through every iconic moment. If I remember correctly, the ending is way more sentimental in the movie than in the book, but it's a great moment nonetheless.
