I hope you give Bull Durham a watch soon.

That was so good I want to start all over and do it again. I think we talked about it after your watch, but there is a popular theory out there that maybe James Earl Jones is dead the entire movie. I don't happen to agree with that one, because the residents of Chisholm all interacted with him in the present day, and Mark could see and hear him and shook his hand, before he could see any of the others. I do feel like he had a purpose there though. I like to think he finished writing his story about Joe coming to Iowa, and the publicity could be what brought all the cars to the field that night, so in a way he did help save the farm.

Perry Campbell

Great reaction ❤️❤️❤️ Are both your parents still alive? I’m lucky mine are still alive and I’m over 60 years old but it got me thinking about my Best friend who died of Cancer. Yes Guys cry too 😭

Wonderful reaction ladies. I've seen this over 20 times and I still end up a pile of tears at the end. Never stray far from the tissues, you never know when you'll need one. Try Bull Durham, also with Coster, my favorite baseball movie.

Totally Whatever

Yes, we did. I love the idea that he finished writing the story, which led to all of the cars coming to the farm.

Totally Whatever

Thank you, Perry. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. We lost our brother to colon cancer last year - cancer is a horrible disease.

Totally Whatever

We were told there would be tears - but we were still completely caught off guard. What a beautiful movie.

William Fortner

There always been a fan theory that Terrance Mann was a ghost the whole movie. When I first watch this movie I did not pick up all the references about his dad. Watch a second time I thinking course this about a son missing his father.

Mark M

Is this movie considered a tear jerker? It feels like it.😪 Thanks for the wonderful reaction. I want to watch Carolyn's horror version now.

Tim Heron

In a stadium that large, they'd be hard to spot, especially as teenagers, but two of the extras in the Fenway Park scene are Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Joel P

This might be my favorite reaction of yours so far. Such a great film with an emotionally powerful ending. Probably my favorite baseball film, right up there with Moneyball.

Totally Whatever

Big tear jerker. We will get working on that horror version.

For more Kevin Costner movies check out “The Untouchables” (1987) and “Dances with Wolves” (1991). The director of this movie, Phil Alden Robinson, also directed “Sneakers” (1992) which is fantastic movie with Robert Redford, Sidney Poitier and Dan Akroyd. Lee Garlington, the woman who is advocating for book banning at the PTA meeting also appears in the movie “Sneakers” (in a VERY different role!). One of the mysteries of this movie is who is the voice played by. If you look in the credits, it says: “The Voice - “Himself”! The director has never revealed who played The Voice. To me the voice sounds a bit like Ray Liotta. And the fact that he says “If you build it, he will come” later on to Ray makes me think that’s who provided the voice. The Jimmy Stewart movie that Karin is watching is called “Harvey” from 1950. Notice that Annie is wearing Karin’s Girl Scout beanie when Ray takes her out early in the movie. The music in this movie is really wonderful. At times it’s almost spooky but not scary. “Shoeless” Joe Jackson was a real person who lived from 1887 to 1951. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoeless_Joe_Jackson When Shoeless Joe leaves the field for the first time at night after meeting Ray that low fog that appeared around the lights happened naturally during filming. Terrence Mann is a fictional character based in the famously reclusive writer J.D. Salinger (“The Catcher in the Rye”). Amy Madigan is in another excellent movie called “Weapons” (2025) that you probably won’t watch on this channel but you should check it out on your own. Doc Graham is played by the late Burt Lancaster and this is his last movie. Here is a wiki article about the real Graham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonlight_Graham There’s a deleted scene that has Terry offering to give Ray some money to help the farm. The scene in question starts after a brief scene at 15:10 in this YouTube video, but the whole thing is worth watching: https://youtu.be/WjVuY6dWuN8?si=8HLexT6pwvl7iLij So when they pick up Archie Graham, who is about 17 and apparently thinks that he is “in” the 1920s, one has to wonder how he sees the VW van Ray and Terry are in which is a 1973 Volkswagen “Station Wagon” T2. I don’t know when the first micro bus/van they are in was built but certainly not as far back as a 1920s. He doesn’t even question the kind of clothes they’re wearing, so perhaps he sees Ray and Terry, as dressed as someone would in the time he lived in. When Ray encountered Archie as an old man, he indeed traveled back in time. Old Archie did not seem to understand that Ray was from the future. It’s interesting to think about what exactly these spirits are. They are aware of their own death but not really sure where they are. The older players seemed perfectly comfortable with existing in this future time they find themselves in, but young Archie, who apparently perceives himself as still living does not necessarily understand where he is? Ray said to Terry that not everyone can see the field which is kind of odd because everybody *can* see the field. They just can’t all see the players. I’m pretty sure that Terrence Mann will be coming back from the cornfield. I don’t think he dies or is dying. And yes, that whole long line of cars were a bunch of real cars way out into the highway.

Thanks for all the incredible trivia and links, REDR58. It's a little spooky that the low fog appeared naturally while they were filming,

Powers209

The ending of this movie gets me every time. I deeply believe that heaven would be having a catch with my dad. Even if only for a few hours.

Kevin Costner was in another baseball movie, I think it was called For Love of the Game. And he was in a cool western movie, Silverado. It was an early movie of his I think; he looks really young in it
