Well this one was nothing like I thought it would be! I thought it was just a straight up 'sports movie' but it turned out to be a really sweet, earnest, nostalgic fantasy drama! Was this a big hit in 1989?

Happy Friday, Jen. 🩷

Arthur 'Two Sheds' Jackson

NOW you finally get that Wayne's World 2 reference "If you book them, they will come" 🤣🤣

John DiGiantomasso

Yeah, it was huge. The field in the corn became a tourist attraction and lots of games were played there. They still do some games and concerts and such there. They built it, and they came. Nice reaction, Jen. Tnis movie gets me every time. My dad and I spent so little time together before he passed. One of my few regrets. I classify this as one if those "Magic of the Universe" movies, like Groundhog Day or Stranger than Fiction. Just pure magic.

Jeremy V.

I’m gonna love this one!

Geoff S.

I know it got nominated for a few Academy Awards. Don't know if it won any though. Costner had huge films around then. Bull Durham the year before and then Dances with Wolves the next year.

I was able to take my Dad on a bucket list trip to the first official Field of Dreams MLB game between the New York Yankees and the Chicago White Sox. We are former southsiders from Chicago and have been Sox fans our entire lives. Wonderful experience and a great game won with a two-run walk-off home run.

Cliff Adams

Yes, that was Harvey. One of my favorite films. View and react to it, please.

Nathan Cline

Yes, big hit. I am from Iowa, I live about 90 minutes from Dyersville where the field is. Still a big tourist stop. A few years back Major league Baseball built a Field next door and has played a couple regular season games their. With Kevin Costner along for the propmotion.

Joel

I went by the last time I did RAGBRAI in 2022 :)

Clip from the 2021 MLB Field of Dreams game with Costner.

If you're interested in learning a little bit more about the 1919 World Series that was thrown by the White Sox, later known as the Black Sox Scandal, you may want to consider the movie "Eight Men Out".

Jesse

I just submitted this.

Ken Schneyer

Another lovely reaction, Jen. My father died in his fifties and never met his grandchildren. And though we were close and fortunately never had a falling-out like Ray and John, nonetheless when the John shows up at the end of this film, I cry like a baby every time. I have always interpreted Terence Mann to be a prophet. It is said of the prophet Elijah that he was so loved by God that God took him bodily into Heaven without his having to die first -- and that therefore he will one day return and tell us. So Terry isn't dying, he's going to the hereafter to find out and report back. (And he was kind of prophet-like in his earlier life.) Doc Graham is meant, I think, to show us that life is rich and complex, and that the dream you had as a youngster, no matter how real and poignant it is, no matter how much it hurts not to have achieved it, is small compared to the life you actually led. Ultimately Archie leaves the field on purpose, knowing full well that he can never return, because his life as a healer and the good he can do is ultimately more important than what he missed. Live without regrets and relish what you have. And yet he does get to have that hour on the field, the fulfillment of that one wish, which feels like a reward for the good life he lived. I had the good fortune to see James Earl Jones on stage, playing Othello opposite Christopher Plummer's Iago and Dianne Wiest's Desdemona. It was astonishing.

The author W.P. Kinsella was a Canadian, born in Edmonton, lived and died in Hope, BC. You should check out the movie 'Eight Men Out', about the 1919 Chicago White Sox, who threw the World Series for money. This movie is a favourite to a lot of guys because, not only is it a baseball movie, it's about a father and son. Probably the only movie I know that can make a guy cry.

Fanchman

Awesome! I keep forgetting about the request site.

JPDotCom23

Hahaha can't believe you figured out the movie at an hour and 14 minutes into it

This and the Legend of Bagger Vance......are two of the most not-sports-movie sports movies (still lots of sports, but the core is kinda wholly other). So happy (and excited) to see you experiencing this one. This is such a beautiful, and worthwhile movie. :)

Andy Thomas

Southside White Sox fan here too, although the last two years have been extremely painful, I wish I could have gone to the Field of Dreams game and watched Anderson his that walk-off. It was a perfect 9th inning.

Fanchman

I know what a fall from just a few years ago. Hopefully they can get some consistency soon. That walk off was picture perfect. Very much needed after that Yankee come back.

Noremac

This movie is way too schmaltzy for my taste.

Jason Scade

Great reaction, I hadn't seen this for decades. It's a magic-realism fantasy drama, this genre. The Green Mile is another example. Also HBO's Carnivale which is a horror/period drama series. Cocoon (1985) is somewhat similar to Field of Dreams. Hacker heist/comedy 'Sneakers' (1992) is by the same director as Field of Dreams, it is excellent. Big star cast.

Major Peril

IF YOU BUILD IT, HE WILL COME. ⚾️ Great reaction to this sports-related but really non-sports fantasy movie. Would you call it sports adjacent? 😆 Some other sports adjacent movies you might like: * Rush (2013) - Ron Howard’s biographical take on the contentious relationship between James Hunt and Niki Lauda during their competitive Formula One careers. * A League of Their Own (1992) * Bull Durham (1988) * Mystery, Alaska (1999) * The Natural (1984) * Moneyball (2011) * Eight Men Out (1988) * Tin Cup (1996) Great appearance by the late Burt Lancaster as Dr. “Moonlight” Graham. RIP James Earl Jones, a truly consummate actor with a golden voice! You both are missed.

Cliff Adams

John Sayles is one of my favorite directors. Eight Men Out is nearly as good as Lone Star.

Damon Corrigan

Ahh, Jen. This movie is in my top 3 favorites of all time. Sometimes we watch movies for action, and sometimes to be inspired. Sometimes we want an exciting story, and sometimes we want something sweet that makes you feel warm in side. This is one I watch when I want to feel joy. I love the fact they explain nothing. It is completely up to the viewer to decide to figure out what is going on, and there are so many different reads to this, and it's going to hit different people in different ways depending on what is going on in their lives at the time of viewing. Usually, I come away with this one thinking a lot of different things, and it isn't always the same things as I have thought before. The movie is timeless - not because the story or the characters are timeless, but because the viewer and their reaction and their current state is just as much a part of the plot as the plot itself is. It truly is a unique movie, and I love it. Thank you for doing it. I hope you have a great weekend!

Yann Laliberte

This movie became very personal the day my dad got diagnosed with Alzheimer. While I always had and still have a great relationship with him, I keep having regrets like I should I called him more often, or all the time I lost patience at him when I was younger. Now he is still physically still here, he is mentally not the same man I knew and I miss him every day. This movie makes me cry all the time at the end and I can't do anything about it.

Andrew Roach

Two other Costner sports related films I love are 1) Tin Cup, golf is the game featured but it is exciting... really it is, and 2) Draft Day about the NFL but like this movie not in the traditional sports way. Another great but obscure "sports" movie is Searching Bobby Fischer 1993 about chess, yes... chess. The end match is riveting, really... trust me.

Alexis Vorian

Hi Jen and friends! if i'm allowed a little offtopic. I wanted to recommend a new Netflix show called "The Eternaut". It's an apocalyptic sci fi show from Argentina (where I'm from), and we're so proud if it, it's getting amazing reviews all around the world. It's based on a 1950s comic book. In case you want to check it out, here's the trailer. Thx! https://youtu.be/TqT4fDQQqCc?si=W9xr-GC6Ok4LDPsj

Jeremy Nuss

My dad made me watch this so many times. I was 7 when it came out... I couldn't make it all the way through this time lol

Zapp Rowsdower

Yep. That was "Harvey" starring James Stewart playing on their tv, about 8 minutes into this movie.

Lee

Seconding Bull Durham, Tin Cup, and Moneyball. (I haven't seen the rest. Not yet.)

Lee

Perfect movie. I love it so much that I search for reactions to it and bookmark the best ones for rewatch. Jen did a fine job here, but I gotta admit, if the reactor isn't weeping openly by the time Costner says, "Hey... Dad?" I have to deduct a few points. Still, a solid B+ reaction. LOL

Zork

Same.. I was following Ashley Burton prior to Jen and she had the most authentic reaction I'd expect from watching Field of Dreams. But I realize not everyone can become emotionally compromised on camera.

Lee

Ashleigh's reaction is top two for me, the other being Jonathan from Popcorn Roulette. Neither of them was prepared for the emotional impact, and it hit 'em hard. Video Village also made a great reaction to it.

Derek Hagen

Such a beautiful movie that never fails to bring me to tears. While it's often the father-son theme that gets to people, I have a different family connection to it. My grandpa grew up on the street where they filmed the "Chisholm, Minnesota" scenes (actually filmed in Galena, Illinois, not too far on the other side of the Mississippi from where the field is in Dyersville, Iowa) and I've been going there my whole life. Every once in a while I drive over to Dyersville (on the highway that they used for a lot of the road trip scenes) to see the field itself.

Clay F

That's exactly what I like about Jen. She is genuine in not forcing the tears like most reactors do.

crazyivan

Sorry, but there aren't any movies like this, not really. I can't think of another movie that'll have grown men crying at the end. But, if you want to see Kevin Costner in different (yet great roles), check out Silverado (1985 - best western of the 80's), Bull Durham (1988 Baseball movie), Tin Cup (1996 - Golf movie). Karin was played by Gabby Hoffman, who also was in Uncle Buck - in the same year (1989) along with John Candy and Amy Madigan who was Annie, Ray's wife in Field of Dreams. Great movie, and a great reaction Jen!
