And Blade Runner. People tend to hate on its narration; I like it though.
Sandlot has possibly the best narration of any movie ever. That ain't no joke.
"Michael Squints Palledorous walked a little taller that day. And we had to tip our hats to him. He was lucky she hadn't beat the CRAP out of him. We wouldn't have blamed her. What he'd done was sneaky, rotten, and low... and cool. Not another one among us would have ever in a million years even for a million dollars have the guts to put the moves on the lifeguard. He did. He had kissed a woman. And he had kissed her long and good. We got banned from the pool forever that day. But every time we walked by after that, the lifeguard looked down from her tower, right over at Squints, and smiled."

Who else can read this in the narrator's voice, complete with emphasis points, pauses and inflection?

I've noticed that attitudes towards that narration have changed in recent years (more people liking it). It does make it more film noir, but I've always liked the detachment of the non-narrated version.
I'll have to give the narrated version another shot one of these days.
