The first 45 minutes or so of the movie, absolutely fantastic. When they were building the field despite financial obstacles and the old baseball players came out and practiced was portrayed perfectly. Like you couldn't have done a better…

A beautiful film. Hard to describe while appearing very literal, but it seems to be all about regret and redemption for every character, blending past and present using the magic of the baseball field, its nostalgia and family ties pushing…

A decent film with good flow. Too bad the dialogue in the last scene doesn't make any sense; "Is this heaven? No Iowa. Is the there a heaven? Oh yeah, there sure is." Now why would a spirit from the past have to ask in the first place if…

1998. A very good movie about life, regrets and forgiveness.

There is a deep meaning behind this story. It is more than a story about baseball. Watch the special feature to find out why the makers of the film tried so hard to get it made.

A feel-good, classic baseball movie with an element of magic.

A good story of hope, dreams, with a little bit of magic thrown in for good measure. An Iowa man and his family turn their farm land into a baseball field with endearing results.

Without a lie, I never saw this movie, never had an interest in it. I don't know why; perhaps I'm not that big a Costner fan or fantasy just isn't for me, either way, I don't feel I really missed all that much. The Field of Dreams was in…

Of course we have to suspend any interest in the mechanics underlying the plot. Once we do, perhaps the sweetest movie of all time is our reward. Among several superb character interpretations, Burt Lancaster's portrayal of a small-town…

I re-visited this movie after many year, nearly forgetting about it, but thankful that I kept it in my collection. There's a reason I kept it. I kept it because it's my favorite kind of story: a story of personal redemption. Baseball…

Not as good as I remembered it.

Surprisingly faithful to the book by W.P. Kinsella, and its plot of an attempted kidnapping of a beloved and reclusive author becoming a road trip to find closure on old hurts and failed dreams. Kevin Costner plays Ray Kinsella, a baseball…

Felt like a time-capsule looking at an 80's movie like this, which was ironically intended to be a time-capsule back in the 1920's/30s, in terms of conjuring up Nostalgic feelings of baseball during that time. This is the first time I…

Great movie but does not quite do the book Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella justice. The book has so much more magic and humor.

This film is a spiritual one. Not only is there an ephemeral quality to it, but its subject matter is about fulfilling or redeeming one's soul. True, baseball runs a vein through it, but it is about far more than a day on the field. There…

Today being July 15, 2014, the Major League All Star Game is being played. Which makes me think of All Star Baseball Movies like Field of Dreams. I love the review of April 3, 2011 by BDS206 which is below. She captures the essence of…

"If you build it, he will come." is the quote most remembered about this film. Well I say "If you watch it, you will cheer." Kevin Costner did 5 sports themed movies. This is my most favorite, and I was an extra in one of the others, For…

My 10-year-old boy is a baseball lover. He loves the movie so much and is pursuing his baseball dream at the same time.

Love of baseball is the central theme, but the movie is not about baseball. It is about being true to one's nature. It is about second chances, and ultimately is about redemption. I highly recommend this movie, it would be great for a…

Field of Dreams is a whimsical fable - many people don't "get" this movie so be prepared for something a bit different.
