Just got done watching it on the MLB Network, for the 10th time at least, and the ending always tugs at the heart strings,what a softy I am. I have always felt this was the best sports movie, without any real sports action.
OT. Damn movie"Field Of Dreams" gets me every time,lol

Well, if your dad isn't around anymore and you ever had a catch with him, how could it not?
15-20 times for me. Ease his pain. "Hey Dad - do you wanna have a catch?" Always does it to me, lol...
If you don't at least get misty-eyed at "Hey... Dad? You wanna have a catch?" then I don't want to know you.
One of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. Probably watched it 50 plus times - never a dry eye....heck, I even even stole the book this was based on from the library when I was in HS (the only book I ever stole.....statute of limitations has long expired on this one for anybody who has a vendetta against me-lol)
Certainly a great movie...and for anyone that liked the movie, a pilgrimage to the field, home, corn field is a must.
I was able to visit the site on a trip to Iowa some 15 plus years ago...and the field, house, corn (especially in late summer/early fall), is all still there.
Place is open daily during the summer months.

I've never seen it but I have heard from many it does that to people...

I wept like a baby again last time I saw it, which was about a week ago. I've probably watched it 50 times, and cried 47 of them. There are 3 parts that get me.
1. In the van when Roy tells the story of when he refused to have a catch with his dad. Especially "The son of a bitch died before I could take it back."
2. When he first sees his dad. And then says "He never got to meet his granddaughter."
3. Obviously, "Hey dad, you wanna have a catch?"
As you can probably tell, my dad and I had a pretty rocky relationship before he passed.

Almost always have to watch it till the end if i catch it on tv. I definitely also get hit when coster realizes doc can't go back.
For some reason the other part that give me chills is when coster drops off terrance and then turns around...when he pops back up in the headlights it gets me.
not just a sports movie...a great all around one,
wife gets on my nerves

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.`
When Ray ask's his dad if he'd like to have a catch, I'm done no matter how many times I watch this movie. My dad passed eleven years ago we played our share of catch, I'd love to have one more chance to toss the ball around and tell him how much I love him. My dad was the best when he passed we renewed his seat and left it empty for a season as a tribute to him.

Keith Olbermann salutes Doc Graham, the real man behind the movie who played in one major league baseball game.

It's funny, Costner did a triumvirate of movies, Bull Durham, Field of Dreams and For Love Of The Game - I always get hooked on watching them if I see them on TV.
I love that part.
But I love when she gets in the fight at the board meeting: "All right, Beulah, do you want to step outside?"
Field of Dreams, once was enough for me.
Goodfellas...I will watch that every time I see it. Even with commercials.

Read the book after the movie "Shoeless Joe" by W. P. Kinsella. A few differences from the movie but was a great read.
I'm a big one on the moment Moonlight Graham steps over the line and becomes Doc Graham and that whole piece that goes with it. "you can't go back!" "Son, if I'd only gotten to be a doctor for five minutes... now that would have been a tragedy."
I start to choke up when I see him starting to walk off the field.
The great thing is when you look in the Baseball Encyclopedia he never had an at bat. Since in the movie he hits a sacrifice he still doesn't.
