Love this film so much.... I think my favorite scene is Doc saving Ray's daughter.... and the brother finally seeing!

You posting good content this week. I will watch this. When I was young, I did not fully get into this movie, but watched it a couple months ago and the movie grew on me. I will now do a rewatch with your reaction.

I’m ambivalent about this movie these days. Loved it when it came out but strikes me now as a little corny and over the top. It has its moments still but maybe I’m just a jaded old man..

R.I.P. Ray Liotta. I agree w/RFK that the movie is over the top, and that is one reason I didn't get into the movie as much when released, but I now think the movie intentionally being over the top is an "effect" and a theme of the movie. Once I accepted that premise, I was able to enjoy the movie. Is a leap for me, but I now sometimes emphasize a desire for stuff like a good story or good ending over realism in my old age. I recommend Open Range and Dances with Wolves as the top two Costner movies (for me). Other Kevin Costner movies to consider. --No Way Out (1987) --McFarland, USA (2015) (inspirational sports drama) --A Perfect World (1993) ("Clint Eastwood's haunting, ambiguous crime drama is smart and gritty, and features a bravura performance from Kevin Costner.") --Bull Durham (1988) [RT=97%] (another baseball movie but this one with Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins).

I'm going to have to go with JFK. What a challenge that role had to be. So many monologues!

It was fun watching this one again with you, Ames. I loved how supportive Annie and Karin Kinsella were of Ray. They embraced the magic. They could see the ball players from the first day. Karin was so adorable. "There's a man out there, on your lawn." Karin again at the end, "Daddy, we don't have to sell the farm....People will come...from all over. They'll just decide to take a vacation, see? And they'll come to Iowa City. They'll think it's really boring. So they'll drive up and want to pay us. Like buying a ticket....To watch the games. It'll be just like when they were little kids a long time ago, and they'll watch the game and remember what it was like....People will come." Out of the mouth of babes, indeed. Besides "Dances with Wolves", another Costner film worth seeing is "The Untouchables" (1987) with Sean Connery, directed by Brian De Palma.

I’m so interested in DWW and the untouchables!! lol Karin is the cutest thing ever! She’s in one of my fave movies ever “Now and Then” which I almost blanked on in the reaction. LOL

In honor of the late, great James Earl Jones this seemed like the appropriate catch-up film. I'm a pretty jaded individual, but this film works its magic on me every time I watch it. This is essentially a modern fairy tale; perfectly executed. My only problem with it is that I have to rehydrate after I finish watching.

I’m finally taking the time to sit down and watch this again. I absolutely love this movie and always enjoy seeing how others react to it. Since I’m still relatively new as a subscriber, I’m working my way through some of the classics.
