"Field of Dreams" is another one of those pleasant and inspiring movies that gives you a downright good feeling inside. A fitting movie for Father's Day.

Classic movie, one of Costners best. An emotional movie that guys can stomach.

It was a decent movie, but not a great movie. Maybe I should rate it higher since it is one of the few movies set in and filmed in Iowa (my home state), but I can't give it much more than three stars, as it just wasn't that entertaining. My dislike of baseball probably has something to do with that.

I think this movie gets a lot more love than it deserves, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it the first time I saw it. I know that long-dead baseball players emerged from corn fields to play on the baseball field Kevin Costner built, but the most hard-to-believe aspect of this movie was Costner's wife's tolerance level. I know a lot of wives who would pack their bags if their husbands even talked about the stunts Costner pulled in this movie.

Corny. Ridiculous. Emotionally pornographic-esque in its attempts to move you to love it soooo much. But. . .

I loved every single minute and shot of this Hallmark-card to baseball and distant jackass father figures. Never let it be said that senor CS has no heart. It beats within a steel cage.

. . .and when James Earl Jones gives those lines "THIS FIELD, Ray. . ." only the coldest and
emotionally-deprived bastards feel nothing. I realize that I have officially checked my brain in the door with this one- but it's the "Thelma and Louise" for men- it's the male emotional roller-coaster, ladies. Buy this DVD for your sports-loving man right now and put on that
sleazy outfit he loves and you have written a check you'll cash for a whole year.

If you build it/ wear it/ give it to me/ take care of my needs I will indeed. . .err. . .emm. . .COME!

I rather liked it, plus the "if you build it, he will come" line has been a source of questionable humor for me for some time...

I am not even a baseball fan and I thought this movie was decent. Bottom of the list? At least it is better than Kevin Costner as Kevin Costner in Dances with History Revision.

One of the great moments in cinema history when Kevin plays catch with his dad- makes me cry like a baby every time I see it.

I have personal reasons for being very fond of this movie, but I think it is probably Costner's best performance. Together with fine work by the rest of the cast, a well written script and some beautiful cinematography, this is a very enjoyable film.

A very well-done movie with a feel-good attitude through almost the entire film. Great performances from James Earl Jones and Kevin Costner don't hurt, along with the great scenery. Great ending as well!

This is my all time favorite movie. Every minute of it was great, I didn't even mind his annoying hippie wife. Even Costner acted with a little personality, and Lioatta did a great job of playing Joe. Lancaster was great, everyone was. This story brought a tear to my eye more than once. I remember the first time I saw it on USA, I was moved like I never was moved before. Before I saw this, I didn't think I could be emotionally effected by movies. I was very, very wrong.

This is a movie that my entire family loves and always gives the thumbs-up to. On a cold Saturday night when we're all staying in together what can be better than a worthy movie to make your weekend? We've watched loads...'The Bridges of Madison County', 'Shakespeare in Love', 'Memento'...all fine films. But 'Field of Dreams' is arguably the one we take in most of all. Watch it and it's easy to see why...a straightfoward, simple story about a farmer who hears a voice whilst out in his corn field...he fears he's going crazy, but soon learns better...this voice could actually be a blessing on his confused life, if he does what he says...build 'it' and 'he' will come. The result? He tears down his cornfield and builds a baseball pitch, in the hope of attracting the 'ghosts' of dead baseball players. Result...success, but that's only the start of a long and powerful spiritual journey upon which he must embark to achieve his overall aim. Beautifully delivered with some fine performances, and moments of chill, poignence and warmth, this is a modern classic through and through. What's that you say? You don't like baseball? No problem. I don't care for it that much either, but I love this film. The script may present it with as much passion as a religion, but believe me, it's the basic underlying principles to the whole thing that make it so compelling; that is, 'if you believe in the impossible, the incredible can happen' - follow your dreams and you can achieve the best. (Be sure to watch the opening sequence carefully.) So, why have I only given it four stars? Simple. Amy Madigan. I know I said there were great performances but we all agree that she is the film's only real weak point, delivering a streak of childishness and odd acting that probably wasn't the script's intention. Sorry if you're reading, Madigan, no harm is meant.

I really liked this movie.A real feel good kind of movie. Kevin Costner plays a man who hears a voice in his corn field "If you build it, he will come"It turns out to be a baseball field which he builds in his cornfield. Months later Shoeless Joe Jackson shows up to pay a game soon other famous baseball players from the past show up. He still gets messages which prompts him to go to New York to get a writer played by james Earl Jones.What I love about this movie is it is about second chances and reconciliation that Ray has with his late dad. A chance to patch up a past with his dad. There are some great actors in this movie.I am not a huge baseball fan but i found myself cheering for the the past baseball players who had a chance to play the game they loved so much. Burt Lanchaster was also great in his role.I would really give this about a 4.5.

W P Kinsella is an American treasure and this movie may actually be as good as his book (titled Shoeless Joe). Costner and the always-excellent James Earl Jones shine like angels. If you like baseball movies, and I love them, this is a great film. If you don't like baseball moves, but like films about characters who persevere and follow their dreams, this is still a great film.

wow, not just a baseball movie. I loved it for a variety of reasons, but I really think that 'baseball' was just a vehicle for the expression of sorrow, regret, and reconciliation between a father and a son. Watched it maybe a dozen times, the last 20 minutes always chokes me up. We all look at our parents differently when we get older. We usually get an opportunity to mend fences. Kevin Costner's character had no way to reconcile with his dad, except thru the field of dreams. James Earl Jones is great in a supporting role and provides many, many great quotes in the final scenes of the movie.

Fields Of Dreams was a movie that they were selling at Burger King when he was released on VHS. My grandmother picked up and copy and loved it. Me on the other hand thought it was a mess, and that Kevin Costner was a total fool. Only for the desperate.

One of the most spellbinding performances was by Burt Lancaster when he described his dream of playing baseball...made me want to go out and round up a game!

I think this was the best and most beautiful baseball movie ever It had all the greats and made even people who didn't like baseball love the game!

Just a baseball game? Yeah, yeah, well it shows how if we listen to our inner voices, a new life can emerge out of what seems like a hopeless situation. We all are in search of our field of dreams... listen, and we can have it too.

This is a great movie. I must have seen it a million times. This movie shows what can happen when you listen to your dreams. It reminds me to always pay attention to my dreams.

Could've been a really good movie if Kevin Costner wasn't so completely devoid of personality.

While I would not bother seeing any of Kevin Costner's recent movies, Field of Dreams, is a timeless story that I would watch anytime. It showcases the heartwarming spirit associated with baseball. I got shivers when 'Shoeless Joe Jackson' emerged from Costner's cornfields. This should easily be America's favorite movie about America's favorite pasttime.

Eventhough I'm a 'chick', I liked it very much.

I had forgotten about this movie until it was on TNT or USA awhile ago and I remembered how much I liked it.

warm fuzzies all around!

Show it, and I will come.

a nice american baseball movie. This was before the roof caved in on Kevin Costner's career.
