Bravo, Mark.

So many pop culture references are derived from fictional Roy Hobbs in The Natural…it’s almost Ali-like. Redfiod was masterful.

A favorite Redford-directed non-sports-sports-movie: The Legend of Bagger Vance…very much a “re-watchable.” A golf movie that’s not about golf, at all…it’s about “…finding your authentic self…”🏌🏻

(Thanks for the nod to Downhill Racer, as well…I thought I might the only one, left⛷️). It’s why we love The Dope.

I stumbled on Redford in “The Horse Whisperer” recently. It was a horse movie directed and starring Redford that wasn’t really about horses. Featured very young Scarlett Johansson. Thanks for the memories. RIP.
