Watch Field of Dreams For Free

I love this movie so much

Wonderful character development!

Great Film overall

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

That's what it says in the credits if you stay long enough to notice. It's a statement that sums up the whole film. I don't intend to write a resume of the film as it has been done by many others. It's a very great film and I feel obliged to mention some of my favourite bits. The moment when Terrence Mann gives a nervous grin just before he disappears into the corn. The moment when Ray mets a young and fit father, a father he never knew. That was something which really hit home to me. I never knew my dad in his best years. Any scenes with Doc Graham but especially the last. Burt was always one of my very favourite actors and in this he was excellent. Perfect for the part.Lastly, the moment when they did come

By another Englishman - but I live in New Zealand!A family man's undiscovered love for his late and nearly-forgotten father is described beautifully in this movie and played out superbly by its ensemble cast.Whilst I would love to relive so many of the scenes and so much of the dialogue by my own description here, I won't, because it is a beautiful, captivating film and I would not wish to detract from it for any new viewers.At 67, this is one of my absolute favourite movies.

I was a kid when I first saw "Field of Dreams" - had to have been 10 years old or so - and I liked it because my parents did (a crowd- pleaser with Kevin Costner at peak star-power; of course they liked it). And maybe the reason this movie has such an effect on me is because I'm the same age as his character with a mortgage of my own. But there's nothing about it that's contrived. It's easy to see the man's struggle as something we can all relate to, and those dramatic moments that could just so easily go wrong in any other movie seem to come from a place of honesty here. It's just a tremendously warm and soul-enriching story; spiritual in a way that even a non- religious schmo like me can get sucked into. It's precision- engineered to tap those cherished memories of going out into the sun with Dad and playing a game of catch. For my money, that shared interest in the game is the most wholesome thing we have in this country, and this movie nails it. Also, if you can sit through this and not leave a blubbering idiot, check your pulse.9/10

Having just watched this movie for the umpteenth time when I came across it on the TV (I have the DVD as well!), I thought it was time I wrote a review.What can I say? I think this is my all-time favourite movie. It hits a spot that no other movie ever hit. Obviously, that's a personal reaction, but I can relate to Ray Kinsella's feeling about his father. My father died when I was 21. I'd been away from home at boarding school, then uni, from the age of 11. Of course, I'm grateful for the education, but it meant I got to spend very little time with my father for the last 10 years of his life and I wasn't mature enough to realise the value of the little time I did spend with him. There were things left unsaid when he died. It would be magical to see my fatter again, as Ray gets to do at the end of the movie. Unfortunately, life doesn't afford us such chances in reality. The movie catches those emotions perfectly and I cannot help but she'd a tear at the end, when Ray see his father, so young with his whole life still ahead of him.The acting is superb, from the stars to the bit-parts. The script is wonderful and the music stirs the emotions, too. It's the best thing Costner has done, even now, 28 years later, he still hasn't topped it. The movie made Ray Liotta a star. He was perfectly cast as Shoeless Joe. Jane Earl Jones, as Terence Mann, the disillusioned 60s firebrand, brings that amazing voice to the role and runs through the gamut of emotions,from indignity to wonderment. Amy Madigan is also excellent as the slightly scatty wife of Ray. But I save special praise for Burt Lancaster, in his last movie role, who brings Doc Graham to life so perfectly. This movie us simply amazing. If you haven't seen it, please do.
