It would be hard to watch that ending and not cry. I lost my mom to stage 4 a couple of years ago and I would build ten baseball fields if I could hug her one more time.
It's always bothered me that he says "have (a) catch" rather than "play catch".. Still gets me though. I think about my dad, and my boys, and the grandsons.
'Moonlight' Graham was a real player.The old fellas in the bar talking about 'Doc' Graham were people who really knew him and the stories about the blue hat's etc were all true.
One of my favorite parts was when young Doc Graham, as Archie, gets to bat. He didn't get a hit, but he did drive in a run. When he goes back to the bench he turns and smiles at Ray, and Ray nods his head and smiles back at Archie. No words are spoken, but you know that what's really happening is that Doc Graham is thanking Ray for making his dream come true, and Ray is saying "you're welcome". This is quality filmmaking at its finest!
@@ChrisReise I don't have any unresolved issues with my father either. It's just nice to have a catch with your dad. This is why baseball is awesome for us guys. I have a son about to turn 23. We don't have a baseball connection...we have a similar interest in music.
Thank God I Patched Things Up With My Father 🧑🏻 Before It Was Too Late! My Father 🧑🏻 Passed Away In 2010. And The Part Where Kevin Costner's Character Says "Do You Want To Play Catch? Dad?" I Am Crying 🥺😢😭 Like A Baby! So I 🤔 Cannot Imagine How Men That Carried A Grudge Against Their Father 🧑🏻 Could Get Through That Ending! Love You , Dad!
James Horner was 100 percent ROBBED at the Oscars when he did not win for the music in this movie. That man writes music that hits people right in the heart, and he was ROBBED! 😁
Having grown up in a baseball family this is the ultimate childhood fantasy - being able to play catch with your father when you were about same age. No man can get through that ending - "Hey Dad, want to have a catch?" - without that strong, heartfelt emotion. Maybe this is heaven.
Any Man who grew up watching Baseball, as I did, and sharing the experience with his Dad, will be moved to tears, by the final scene between Ray & John. I am now 73 years old & went to Ebbits Field with my Dad & my Brother, the last year that the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. That was when Baseball was the ''National Pastime''. Now Football has taken that mantle. However, Men, of my generation, will always feel as though Baseball is an emotional connection to our youth. Great reaction Ladies.
yea I would love to see brian's song reacted to. It was an abc tv film and James Caan & young BillY dee Williams were soo great in that film. Probably one of the greatest music scores for a tv film also by michele Le Grand if im spellng it correctly.
My dad was my absolute hero in life. He has been gone for 30 years now and I would gladly give 10 years off of my own life just for the chance to play catch and talk with him one more time.
Same. I never was able to play catch with my dad. He was an old 52 when I was born. By the time I could throw and catch a ball, he was battling cancer, dying when I was 5. I would love to just throw a ball around with a younger version of my dad.
My wife and I saw this in 1989. We loved it and I still love it today. It's a movie about love, family, and yes dreams. Even when dreams don't work out, baseball can help you find your way. When Archie Graham steps across the foul line and turns into Doc Graham, it still gets me. Every time. I give Field of Dreams five out of five. And I did play catch with my Dad.😎
Did you realize that old Doc Graham was played by the legendary actor Burt Lancaster? He had a huge career that spanned decades and this was his last role. What a great movie to exit on.
I'm from England, I don't play baseball or watch it but its universal themes calls out to me and yes I tear up every time, it is the movie that makes tough grown men cry. Phil Alden Robinson, who wrote and directed it tells a story, that a female producer where he worked said I've just finished this book, you should read it. Phil asked what's it about? She said, about a farmer who ploughs up his crop when he hears a voice. Phil said, not for me thanks. She gently insisted, take the book home. Phil did, put it to one side, about 10.30 he picked it up and read it straight through and thought I have to make a movie from this. He did....I guess it's about second chances, about having faith in your instincts and following your dreams when everyone else thinks your crazy, lots of people have a vision no one else can see until you make it possible, now they see it......"We just don't recognize life's most significant moments while they're happening. Back then I thought, "Well, there'll be other days." I didn't realize that that was the only day." Doc 'Moonlight' Graeme, played by the great Burt Lancaster who passed soon after and when the baseball players say goodbye to him it's not just to his character, it's personal.... thank you.
Great reaction to an awesome movie, Michelle and Natalie. Btw, one of the most moving aspects of this movie is that the elderly actor who played 'Moonlight Archie Graham' was Hollywood great, Burt Lancaster. This movie was his final role before he died. So, towards the end when Ray Liotta's character (Shoeless Joe Jackson) told him, "Hey, Rookie....you were good.", it was basically an on-camera Hollywood farewell, paying homage and respect to an acting legend in his final role.
Just came across your channel and subbed. I love your commentary and reactions. This movie is 1 of the all time greats. I saw it in the theater in 1989, and still watch it to this day. Fantastic story, and the ending always gets me emotional. The Terrance Mann character, I read as a theory, dies right before he's standing in front on Ray's van. A movie that you can just sit and enjoy the experience, and keeps you invested. In August of 2021, that field was used for a Yankees game. Kevin Costner introduced the Yankees lineup and they came out of the corn and even the iconic music was playing.
I have seen this movie a bunch of times, and have seen reactions to it a bunch more. Every single time, I get a happy tear at the end - it's timeless and I dont think it will ever get old. Thank you, you two, for doing this!
Yeah, this movie makes this grown man cry. I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but this movie's subject matter always gets me. They built a stadium about 100 yards away from the Field of Dreams they used in this movie and played an MLB game in Aug 2021. It was a really cool moment.. Same teams played a game in Iowa and they entered the field through the cornfield from center field like they did in the movie. Kevin Costner also played in another movie called, "Bull Durham" as a catcher and he was in even another baseball movie where he was a pitcher called, "For Love of the Game." Even another sports movie is "Tin Cup" about golf. He's been in a lot of sports movies lol
The voice wasn’t god. It was his internal voice. For two reasons. First Ray says to Shoeless Joe “it was you.” And Joe responds “no Ray, it was you.” Second, there was an Easter egg in the credits. Under the credits it lists “the voice” and “himself” as the credited actor. Another thing is that this movie was about people’s wishes and getting the chance to go back and resolve issues. In Ray’s unknown attempt to resolve his own issues, he helps others along the way. The doc, the black Sox players, Terrence Mann… another good piece of info that is sad. The doc was played by the late great actor Burt Lancaster. This was his last role and he died before the movie was released in the theaters and in my opinion was one of his best roles ever. Symbolically when he walks into the cornfield, his journey ends which actually occurred in real life which makes me tear up more. There is a joke in Hollywood that this is the man’s version of the Notebook because of the amount of grown men who cried seeing this movie. Another sad bit of info, Ray Liotta never saw the film. I saw an interview of him just before he died in which he was asked about his thoughts when he watched it and he said that he never did.
In some ways Field of Dreams is like a more modern version of It's A Wonderful Life, with Ray taking on some of the George Bailey qualities. Ray is helping make other people's dreams come true by giving them second chances for redemption, for Shoeless Joe and the other players who were banned, for Doc Graham, he helps Terry Mann rediscover his passion for writing, too. At the end of the movie Ray finds out that if you spend your life helping others, maybe that has a way of coming back around to helping you, too.
I wasn’t trying to compare and contrast to another movie. When I said that it’s like a man’s version and f the Notebook meant the movie made men universally cry. I work in the industry. I’ve heard in acting schools that there was a joke that men aren’t supposed to cry, unless it’s for field of dreams. There are jokes on How I Met Your mother about the film. They’re pretty funny. Type in how I met your mother field of dreams and watch the compilation videos. They’re funny.
I saw this in the movies opening weekend and usually they’ll turn the lights on after and then roll the credits. You could actually hear people openly weeping and they kept the lights down for five minutes. I’ll admit this is one of the ones that makes me cry every time I watch
Every time, this movie brings me to tears. My dad was a disabled Vietnam Vet and an alcoholic, but I was very close to him. When he passed in 2006, I had to block out all my emotions and be strong for my whole family. Even though it was tearing me up inside, I had to be the strong one. Now that he is gone, this movie hits so hard, and I absolutely ugly cry. Id give anything, even my own life to have one more day with my dad. This movie is so special to me.
Great first watch Michelle and Natalie! And I agree with your comments, even the ones y'all mentioned on the live stream yesterday. Take care! 5 hoots to you two. You ladies are always so much fun.
I was in radio (WDBQ) while this was being filmed and was lucky enough to be an extra in the gymnasium scene!!! I met all the actors and spent two whole days involved in a film featuring America's sport...Baseball!! Thank God!!😍👮♂
Yes, it gets me very emotional every time I have watch this, and it's been many times. To me this was very similar to my father's and I's relationship, where I never got a chance to say I was sorry, and I never did got a chance to tell him I loved him.
One of my all time favorite films, obviously. And it is something I'll watch over and over again through the years. The fact that they never really explain how any of it is happening, and keep it child-like in its magic as you said, I think makes it very re-watchable. It retains the excitement of the mystery and magic in subsequent watches. And it gets me every time at the end too :D
Just found your channel. This is one of my favorites of all time. I weep every time! If you haven’t watched “Miracle” about the 1980 Olympic Hockey team, you’ll love it… also an oldie, “Brian’s Song” - a classic - James Caan’s and Billy Dee Williams’ first big roles…
My wife and I stood on that field last year and walked through the corn fields. Played catch with some guy that was there sitting on the bleachers. My all-time favorite movie. The place is magical. I was like a kid in a candy store!
I am 68 years old and the end always makes me cry (the only other movie that does this is "The Green Mile"). To anyone has lost their Father this movie brings up things that were not resolved (Said or done) before their passing after it is too late.
Totally got me, yes. To this day, I can't hold it together when I watch this. The moment Shoeless Joe says to Ray, "if you build it... he will come." I cry like a baby. Every time. Without fail.
Great reaction like always. I really like this movie It’s a wonderful sentimental tribute to father-son relationships everywhere! There are some fun facts about this movie, It’s based on W.P. Kinsella’s novel “Shoeless Joe,” and initially shared the same name, the final title is much closer to Kinsella’s preferred name for the book. His novel was nearly titled “Dreamfield.” Following Ray Kinsella's lead, the baseball-obsessed Costner has even built his own field, too. He has one located on his ranch in Aspen, Colo., and it comes complete with stadium lights, a pitching machine and a sound system. If you've got $250,000 laying around, you can even rent the property for the week. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were extras in this movie. Damon was 17 years old and Affleck turned 16 during the summer of 1988, when the film shot on location for the scenes in Fenway Park. More than a decade later Affleck would star in Robinson's The Sum of All Fears; on the first day of shooting, he reportedly told Robinson: "Nice working with you again." And this was Burt Lancaster's last film to play in theaters. Keep up the good work.
Kevin Costner did 2 baseball movies back to back in the late 80s with Bull Durham and this,I was too young to watch BD at the time but I still did😂. I was surprised this was so wholesome at the time(I didn’t understand that actors could do more than one genre at that age). Both great movies but this one is probably the better of the two. 36 seemed so old back then and I’m now almost 10 years older than that😬
In Field of Dreams, "Doc" Graham wants to wink at the pitcher and rattle him enough to frustrate his pitching rhythm. In 'Tombstone', "Doc" Holliday winks at a 'Cowboy' and sets-off the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
Great reaction ladies! 'They wanted to make grown men cry' - well they succeeded! I can't keep a dry eye with this movie - both Doc's 'sacrifice' and Ray calling out to his dad break me, every time since seeing this first in 1989 (I was 11 at the time) - now 45, and it still gets me! I probably watch this once a year. I love the magic of this movie. Acting, dialogue, music, pacing - it's all perfection. And as much as it's a 'baseball' movie - baseball actually takes a back seat to the main story. Family, regret, relationships...that's the main focus. Cheers!
Great review you two. Field of Dreams is one of the best at capturing the complex relationship between fathers and sons. And yes, most of the guys I know, including myself got teary eyed at the end when they played catch. Some other good films that capture that complexity of dads and sons, and they are also sports related are The Rookie with Dennis Quaid (I believe it Denis Quaid) Rudy is one of the best it's with Sean Astan, there are several others too. I hope you both could review some of those especially the two mentioned. Looking forward to more!
I am a grown ass man, and I watch this movie every spring (along with Ken Burns Baseball documentary, and a few other baseball movies) and the ending still has me tearing up.
One of the most important things in a young males life is the approval and blessing of his father. I've seen successful adult men in their 60's break down talking about how they never got their fathers approval. I was blessed with a great dad, who I played baseball with, and yes I tear up every time he says "Dad want to have a catch." What I wouldn't give even as an old man now to have one more catch with my dad.
I saw this movie in the theater back in 1989 when it came out. I've watched it multiple times over the years, and it's probably in my top 10 all time favorite movies. And even though I know what's coming, I still get choked up every time.
I saw this when it first came out, about a year after I got out of the USAF. I went back to one of my bases for a reunion party. I saw it at a theater outside the base. It was back in the mid 80s when the services were 90% guys, SO the theater was full of men. When it was over NOBODY got up. I saw dozens of guys get up with red eyes about 5-10 minutes later.
When I saw this in the theater, it was pretty crowded, all the men started to "cough" with the Have A Catch (?) line........so did I.......my favorite sports movie. Enjoyed the reaction. Thanks for sharing.
I live just an hour away from the field and know a couple of the extras who played some of the baseball players. In 1989, I was 12 years old and baseball was my life. This movie was special then because it was filmed in Iowa and everyone in Iowa had a bumper sticker that read, “Is this heaven? No, it’s Iowa.” For awhile, I think it might have been our state motto. Growing up, some of my favorite memories was playing catch with my dad in the yard. Now that my dad is aging and battling Parkinson’s, I’d give anything to play catch with him again. As a father myself, this movie reminds me to treasure every second I have with my kids. They grow up too fast. As Doc Graham said, “…we just don’t recognize the most significant moments in our lives while they’re happening. [We think] there’ll be other days. [We] don’t realize that [this] was the only day.” And yes,….I cry like a baby every single time he asks, “Wanna have a catch?”
I have seen this movie over and over and I still cry at the end. Living only 45 minutes from the site, I have taken each of my kids to the field to "have a catch". All 5 of my boys have been to the field. The field is different now and too comercialized. The field was actually built on 2 different farmer's fields and one farmer had a concession stand on one side, and the other farmer had a concession on the other side. It is now all owned by an investment firm.
one of cinema's great unscripted moments. when costner says "see if you can hit my curve", the script called for a home run, but when ray liotta ( as a right-handed joe jackson) drilled it right back up the middle and costner did his stumble out of the way move, it was too perfect, so they left it in.
Seeing it as a child I didn’t even recognize how it would hit me as an adult. Now that my old man has passed it hits harder. You can go visit the field, which I highly recommend. It was the last place we ever played ball. I treasure that memory.
Yes, I choked up when Ray finally calls him "Dad". There are so many men who wish they had a chance to say to their father what they should have. Good reaction ladies.
I will never not cry at the, "Hey dad, you wanna have a catch part of this movie. My father passed away 12 years ago and I would give anything for one more day, even one more hour with him. Great movie, great reaction
Wonderful reaction to a wonderfully emotional movie. I saw this on video soon after it came out when I was 21, and it hit me hard even then. I lost my dad two years ago and it hits even harder now, even though we were on good terms and communicating fairly regularly. But it still hits hard. Dwier Brown, who played John Kinsella, Ray's dad, wrote a book called "If You Build It..." which is part reflections on this movie and the conversations he had with fans of the movie talking about how the movie affected them. He also comments on how it affected his own relationship with his dad. It is an excellent book. My maternal grandfather was born in 1897. He was ineligible for being drafted for WWI because he had missed an entire year of high school fighting tuberculosis, and when he graduated he began a somewhat wanderlust period of his life. Among other things he did he spent a couple of years playing baseball for town teams, like the ones young Archie described in the movie. He also joined a small traveling circus for a while too where, among other things, he was a juggler. My mom still has a set of three wooden juggling pins that are a hundred years old that were his from his circus days. Grandaddy was 71 when I was born (my mom, his first child, was born when he was 46) and even into his late eighties he'd walk their dog up the very steep street that climbed the ridge they lived at the base of and then 3 to 5 miles along the trails on top of the ridge. I remember being sixteen one time when we were walking the dog. I was young and in good shape and I was huffing and puffing my way up the hill. Granddaddy had always been built like a jockey and was probably only about 5'5" then at 87 years old and he wasn't even breathing hard. He was telling me stories about the circus and juggling when he stopped, picked up three larger pieces of gravel off of the roadside, and then started to juggle them while walking up this steep hill and looking at me as he talked. He juggled for a few minutes then caught the stones and dropped them back by the side of the road. If I'm lucky I can juggle one thing. 😀 Grandaddy was amazing. 😛 I still have my dad's dad's glove from when he was a teen, and it looks a lot like Shoeless Joe's did. It's probably from the mid-late 1920s so it's around a hundred years old too. I still pull it on at times and just think about how it feels to have this glove and daydream for a moment about granddad using it in neighborhood or schoolyard games. It's still pretty flexible too and in good condition. 🙂
Yes it for sure get all us guys..i cant watch it without tearing up at the end..I saw it when it originally came out in the theater. i always think about my dad when seeing it, about how long day at work he'd come home, throw fly balls and grounders for me to practice, be at all my games and etc..
When talking to my fellow men we do talk about sci-fi horror slasher and just pure violent movies..But comedy movies are always involved because we're not Monsters. But when such a wholesome good feeling movie with such love and understanding and with class actors and actresses that made it look like a fun job. Well with a story and tale told like that. I'm crying now and have every time I've seen this Feel Good Beauty of a Movie. Michelle and Natalie. Thank You for your true emotions in these reactions and reviews. But I have tears and snot. You have to manage the makeup as well. Cheer's Gorgeous Ladies.xx
I've watched this movie and reactions to it many times. I'm 66 years old and my Dad died 10 years ago. The end of this movie makes me realize he's gone and brings back great memories, so, yes, it still gets me every time I see it. My goal is to take a motorcycle trip this summer and visit the Field of Dreams movie site. I'm sure being there will get to me also.
Great point about movies not being made like that today. Along those lines, there are two other sports movies that are about integrity and redemption that you guys and almost no one else has done. I keep asking reactors to do them, but only a handful have. One is "The Natural, a baseball movie, and the other is "Hoosiers," a basketball movie. I pretty much don't care for sports movies per se, but these movies tug at the heart and soul.
My father wasn't a baseball fan but he knew I was. So at least 4-5 times every season he would take me and a couple of my friends to see a Minnesota Twins game. As we got a bit older he would just drop us off and go see a movie and pick us up after the game. I forgot to mention we lived an hour away from the ball park. When I turned 16 and got my drivers license my best friend and I went to over 30 games that year.
There is a debate about whether James Earl Jones' character, Terrence Mann, actually died. He was presumed missing because he never answered his son's phone call then he is invited into the corn field with the 'ghosts'. As you guys mentioned it has a slight parallel to 'The Sixth Sense'.
It was magic. Saw it in theater as teen, w/brothers & friends. Baseball, still the national game, was a Language we all spoke. What Doc said abt the feel of the game. ALL knew the numbers 61, 56, 2180, Ted Williams the last .400 hitter in '41. The stories, it was American history. It was pure, pure Magic.
I remember seeing this in the theater in the Spring of '89. I enjoyed it and found it to be a touching & entertaining flick and I was fine during the ending scene. Late in the following year, my dad passed. I next saw this movie again in '97 (or maybe '98?), and well. . . in the words of Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that."
You mentioned the music, the soundtrack is brilliant and you find yourself linking it to the parts of the film. It's up there alongside The Blues Brothers and Young Einstein soundtrack.
I showed this movie at the movie theater I worked at in HS when this came out. I cried every time we showed it then, and I still cry every time I watch it now. It's a very special movie. It's a magical movie. And one that will always hold a special place in my heart.
Burt Lancaster‘s (Doc Graham) last film. There really was a Moonlight Graham, but he played one game with the NY Giants in 1905. He did in fact become a doctor in Chisolm. He died in 1965, and all those interview stories were true and told by actual friends. Terence Mann‘s character is J.D. Salinger in the novel. They changed it to avoid a lawsuit.
The odd thing about this movie is that it seems to be even more emotionally poignant to men than to women. Few men can get through this without shedding tears.
oh look at y'all, so heroic! fightin those tears like champs. i saw this in the theatre when it came out, and i never knew my dad, so the end was a disaster for me. 😄 once the scene when his dad started, i don't remember anything until we were headin to the car. thanks for the reaction, girlies!
Nice one, Ladies! Such a good movie. Thanks for sharing this one. Kevin made 2 other baseball movies. Bull Durham is more light hearted and funny. For Love Of The Game is a special one too. You might enjoy that one a lot. 🙂
The farm you can see in the distance is owned by my dads family. His cousin owned it during filming. Went to the site during a family reunion in 92. Had a catch with my dad on it
I can watch the movie or a reaction and it still gets me every single time. Just a beautifully written and acted film. And yes, the brilliant score pushes the emotions perfectly.
I think Terrance Mann (James Earl Jones) was already dead. The newspaper story, in Minnesota, that his dad had been unable to reach him by phone on several attempts... and then that Mann seems to not call him ("What would I say?") makes me believe that he had passed. Also, Mann did not go back to Boston. He went with Ray to Iowa. Then he was "invited" into the cornfield. I love y'alls reactions. And this movie always makes me have an "allergy reaction" of watery eyes for some reason.... 😉🙂😁
Not afraid to admit it...I blubber like a baby at the end...and your right ladies, its unfortunate we dont have more movies like this today.....one thing I wonder...when Shoeless Joe says " No Ray....it was you"...does he mean it was Rays own voice guiding him the whole time?.....great flick
Fun Fact: We all know that Kevin Costner played a character named Ray KINSELLA, but did you notice in the credits that the movie was based on Canadian novelist W. P. KINSELLA'S 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe".

More please 😊
Natalie ****** ??? I've heard her say her last name a thousand times and still have no clue what she's saying. Natalie Durant? Natalie Da-red?
@@dicktrickle741 her nickname is Natalie the Red!
It would be hard to watch that ending and not cry. I lost my mom to stage 4 a couple of years ago and I would build ten baseball fields if I could hug her one more time.
The ginger guy from tv 30 something
When he says "Hey Dad, you wanna have a catch?" I'm losing it every time.
We get it!!
For sure, every time... I still take one of my dads catchers mitts to spring training games with me...
Yup same.
It's always bothered me that he says "have (a) catch" rather than "play catch".. Still gets me though. I think about my dad, and my boys, and the grandsons.
Doc walking off the field gets me more than the Dad scene.
“I think they want to make grown men cry”
It worked. This is most men’s kryptonite.
'Moonlight' Graham was a real player.The old fellas in the bar talking about 'Doc' Graham were people who really knew him and the stories about the blue hat's etc were all true.
One of my favorite parts was when young Doc Graham, as Archie, gets to bat. He didn't get a hit, but he did drive in a run. When he goes back to the bench he turns and smiles at Ray, and Ray nods his head and smiles back at Archie. No words are spoken, but you know that what's really happening is that Doc Graham is thanking Ray for making his dream come true, and Ray is saying "you're welcome". This is quality filmmaking at its finest!
The old fellas were actors telling real people's stories.
I'm a 49 year old man and it gets me every time. I think anyone who has unresolved issues or regrets with a parent or a child it really hits home.
Even if you don’t it’s just a beautiful end, but I’m sure that’s true!
I don't have any unresolved issues with my father and this film ALWAYS brings out the tears when Ray asks his Dad for a catch.
@@ChrisReise I don't have any unresolved issues with my father either. It's just nice to have a catch with your dad. This is why baseball is awesome for us guys. I have a son about to turn 23. We don't have a baseball connection...we have a similar interest in music.
I’m 63 and it turns me into a blubbering mess.
Thank God I Patched Things Up With My Father 🧑🏻 Before It Was Too Late!
My Father 🧑🏻 Passed Away In 2010.
And The Part Where Kevin Costner's Character Says "Do You Want To Play Catch? Dad?"
I Am Crying 🥺😢😭 Like A Baby!
So I 🤔 Cannot Imagine How Men That Carried A Grudge Against Their Father 🧑🏻 Could Get Through That Ending!
Love You , Dad!
The players are dressed as they were as young men, decades previously. This movie makes grown men cry. I do, every time ;-)
There is some powerful emotions in it!
For me its the Moonlight Graham part. Gets me every time.
James Horner was 100 percent ROBBED at the Oscars when he did not win for the music in this movie. That man writes music that hits people right in the heart, and he was ROBBED! 😁
@@Steven_Snell Me too.
Having grown up in a baseball family this is the ultimate childhood fantasy - being able to play catch with your father when you were about same age. No man can get through that ending - "Hey Dad, want to have a catch?" - without that strong, heartfelt emotion. Maybe this is heaven.
Yep, I'm a grown man and this movie makes me cry every time.
Understandable!
Any Man who grew up watching Baseball, as I did, and sharing the experience with his Dad, will be moved to tears, by the final scene between Ray & John. I am now 73 years old & went to Ebbits Field with my Dad & my Brother, the last year that the Dodgers played in Brooklyn. That was when Baseball was the ''National Pastime''. Now Football has taken that mantle. However, Men, of my generation, will always feel as though Baseball is an emotional connection to our youth. Great reaction Ladies.
Thank you and thanks for sharing!! 💚
Football may be americas passion but it is never Americas Pastime.
yea I would love to see brian's song reacted to. It was an abc tv film and James Caan & young BillY dee Williams were soo great in that film. Probably one of the greatest music scores for a tv film also by michele Le Grand if im spellng it correctly.
@@LeighMet Exactly.
I watched baseball with my Dad on Saturday afternoons and then played catch with him afterwards and at other times.
like all us older guys... when we first saw this movie... we got to be with our dads once again.... #beautiful #magic 😍😍
Saw this back on the big screen some years back for its anniversary. 99% men in the full theater, 100% were in tears by the end.
It's one of my favorite movies. People say the movie is about baseball when, in fact, it's about fathers and sons. ❤
My dad was my absolute hero in life. He has been gone for 30 years now and I would gladly give 10 years off of my own life just for the chance to play catch and talk with him one more time.
Same. I never was able to play catch with my dad. He was an old 52 when I was born. By the time I could throw and catch a ball, he was battling cancer, dying when I was 5. I would love to just throw a ball around with a younger version of my dad.
My wife and I saw this in 1989. We loved it and I still love it today. It's a movie about love, family, and yes dreams. Even when dreams don't work out, baseball can help you find your way. When Archie Graham steps across the foul line and turns into Doc Graham, it still gets me. Every time. I give Field of Dreams five out of five. And I did play catch with my Dad.😎
Did you realize that old Doc Graham was played by the legendary actor Burt Lancaster? He had a huge career that spanned decades and this was his last role. What a great movie to exit on.
I'm from England, I don't play baseball or watch it but its universal themes calls out to me and yes I tear up every time, it is the movie that makes tough grown men cry. Phil Alden Robinson, who wrote and directed it tells a story, that a female producer where he worked said I've just finished this book, you should read it. Phil asked what's it about? She said, about a farmer who ploughs up his crop when he hears a voice. Phil said, not for me thanks. She gently insisted, take the book home. Phil did, put it to one side, about 10.30 he picked it up and read it straight through and thought I have to make a movie from this. He did....I guess it's about second chances, about having faith in your instincts and following your dreams when everyone else thinks your crazy, lots of people have a vision no one else can see until you make it possible, now they see it......"We just don't recognize life's most significant moments while they're happening. Back then I thought, "Well, there'll be other days." I didn't realize that that was the only day." Doc 'Moonlight' Graeme, played by the great Burt Lancaster who passed soon after and when the baseball players say goodbye to him it's not just to his character, it's personal.... thank you.
Great analysis of the themes! Thank you!
Great reaction to an awesome movie, Michelle and Natalie. Btw, one of the most moving aspects of this movie is that the elderly actor who played 'Moonlight Archie Graham' was Hollywood great, Burt Lancaster. This movie was his final role before he died. So, towards the end when Ray Liotta's character (Shoeless Joe Jackson) told him, "Hey, Rookie....you were good.", it was basically an on-camera Hollywood farewell, paying homage and respect to an acting legend in his final role.
Just came across your channel and subbed. I love your commentary and reactions. This movie is 1 of the all time greats. I saw it in the theater in 1989, and still watch it to this day. Fantastic story, and the ending always gets me emotional. The Terrance Mann character, I read as a theory, dies right before he's standing in front on Ray's van. A movie that you can just sit and enjoy the experience, and keeps you invested. In August of 2021, that field was used for a Yankees game. Kevin Costner introduced the Yankees lineup and they came out of the corn and even the iconic music was playing.
Thank you!! We have plenty of other reactions we hope you check out as well! ☺️
@@ForceOfLightEntertainment You're welcome, and I did check out the 1 for Speed :)
Such a classic! Loved the reaction, as always!! I've been to the actual field, and you can feel the magic! Much love!!!
I have seen this movie a bunch of times, and have seen reactions to it a bunch more. Every single time, I get a happy tear at the end - it's timeless and I dont think it will ever get old. Thank you, you two, for doing this!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, this movie makes this grown man cry. I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but this movie's subject matter always gets me. They built a stadium about 100 yards away from the Field of Dreams they used in this movie and played an MLB game in Aug 2021. It was a really cool moment.. Same teams played a game in Iowa and they entered the field through the cornfield from center field like they did in the movie. Kevin Costner also played in another movie called, "Bull Durham" as a catcher and he was in even another baseball movie where he was a pitcher called, "For Love of the Game." Even another sports movie is "Tin Cup" about golf. He's been in a lot of sports movies lol
The voice wasn’t god. It was his internal voice. For two reasons. First Ray says to Shoeless Joe “it was you.” And Joe responds “no Ray, it was you.” Second, there was an Easter egg in the credits. Under the credits it lists “the voice” and “himself” as the credited actor. Another thing is that this movie was about people’s wishes and getting the chance to go back and resolve issues. In Ray’s unknown attempt to resolve his own issues, he helps others along the way. The doc, the black Sox players, Terrence Mann… another good piece of info that is sad. The doc was played by the late great actor Burt Lancaster. This was his last role and he died before the movie was released in the theaters and in my opinion was one of his best roles ever. Symbolically when he walks into the cornfield, his journey ends which actually occurred in real life which makes me tear up more. There is a joke in Hollywood that this is the man’s version of the Notebook because of the amount of grown men who cried seeing this movie. Another sad bit of info, Ray Liotta never saw the film. I saw an interview of him just before he died in which he was asked about his thoughts when he watched it and he said that he never did.
The man’s Notebook may be a good way of explaining it!
I think I saw an interview with Liotta where he said he didn’t watch any of his own films. A lot of actors are like that, from what I hear.
In some ways Field of Dreams is like a more modern version of It's A Wonderful Life, with Ray taking on some of the George Bailey qualities. Ray is helping make other people's dreams come true by giving them second chances for redemption, for Shoeless Joe and the other players who were banned, for Doc Graham, he helps Terry Mann rediscover his passion for writing, too. At the end of the movie Ray finds out that if you spend your life helping others, maybe that has a way of coming back around to helping you, too.
I wasn’t trying to compare and contrast to another movie. When I said that it’s like a man’s version and f the Notebook meant the movie made men universally cry. I work in the industry. I’ve heard in acting schools that there was a joke that men aren’t supposed to cry, unless it’s for field of dreams. There are jokes on How I Met Your mother about the film. They’re pretty funny. Type in how I met your mother field of dreams and watch the compilation videos. They’re funny.
If it was his internal voice, how did Terence hear it?
32:00 And as he walked into the field, it was the last Hollywood will see of the legendary Burt Lancaster. And he was good.
I saw this in the movies opening weekend and usually they’ll turn the lights on after and then roll the credits. You could actually hear people openly weeping and they kept the lights down for five minutes. I’ll admit this is one of the ones that makes me cry every time I watch
Every time, this movie brings me to tears. My dad was a disabled Vietnam Vet and an alcoholic, but I was very close to him. When he passed in 2006, I had to block out all my emotions and be strong for my whole family. Even though it was tearing me up inside, I had to be the strong one. Now that he is gone, this movie hits so hard, and I absolutely ugly cry. Id give anything, even my own life to have one more day with my dad. This movie is so special to me.
Great first watch Michelle and Natalie! And I agree with your comments, even the ones y'all mentioned on the live stream yesterday. Take care! 5 hoots to you two. You ladies are always so much fun.
Thanks so much!!
I'm from England where baseball is non existent. But dang, this movie gets me every time. With the doc and then the catch with dad 😅
Right! On the surface, it’s a baseball movie, to which not everyone relates, but scratch a little and you’ll see it’s about much more than the game!
@@Divamarja_CA Yes ma'am. My thoughts 💯
I was in radio (WDBQ) while this was being filmed and was lucky enough to be an extra in the gymnasium scene!!! I met all the actors and spent two whole days involved in a film featuring America's sport...Baseball!! Thank God!!😍👮♂
Awesome!!
Yes, it gets me very emotional every time I have watch this, and it's been many times. To me this was very similar to my father's and I's relationship, where I never got a chance to say I was sorry, and I never did got a chance to tell him I loved him.
I’m sure he knew 😊
One of my all time favorite films, obviously. And it is something I'll watch over and over again through the years. The fact that they never really explain how any of it is happening, and keep it child-like in its magic as you said, I think makes it very re-watchable. It retains the excitement of the mystery and magic in subsequent watches. And it gets me every time at the end too :D
Just found your channel. This is one of my favorites of all time. I weep every time! If you haven’t watched “Miracle” about the 1980 Olympic Hockey team, you’ll love it… also an oldie, “Brian’s Song” - a classic - James Caan’s and Billy Dee Williams’ first big roles…
My wife and I stood on that field last year and walked through the corn fields. Played catch with some guy that was there sitting on the bleachers. My all-time favorite movie. The place is magical. I was like a kid in a candy store!
I am 68 years old and the end always makes me cry (the only other movie that does this is "The Green Mile"). To anyone has lost their Father this movie brings up things that were not resolved (Said or done) before their passing after it is too late.
Totally got me, yes. To this day, I can't hold it together when I watch this. The moment Shoeless Joe says to Ray, "if you build it... he will come." I cry like a baby. Every time. Without fail.
Great reaction like always. I really like this movie It’s a wonderful sentimental tribute to father-son relationships everywhere! There are some fun facts about this movie, It’s based on W.P. Kinsella’s novel “Shoeless Joe,” and initially shared the same name, the final title is much closer to Kinsella’s preferred name for the book. His novel was nearly titled “Dreamfield.” Following Ray Kinsella's lead, the baseball-obsessed Costner has even built his own field, too. He has one located on his ranch in Aspen, Colo., and it comes complete with stadium lights, a pitching machine and a sound system. If you've got $250,000 laying around, you can even rent the property for the week. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were extras in this movie. Damon was 17 years old and Affleck turned 16 during the summer of 1988, when the film shot on location for the scenes in Fenway Park. More than a decade later Affleck would star in Robinson's The Sum of All Fears; on the first day of shooting, he reportedly told Robinson: "Nice working with you again." And this was Burt Lancaster's last film to play in theaters. Keep up the good work.
Thank you!!
Kevin Costner did 2 baseball movies back to back in the late 80s with Bull Durham and this,I was too young to watch BD at the time but I still did😂. I was surprised this was so wholesome at the time(I didn’t understand that actors could do more than one genre at that age). Both great movies but this one is probably the better of the two. 36 seemed so old back then and I’m now almost 10 years older than that😬
In Field of Dreams, "Doc" Graham wants to wink at the pitcher and rattle him enough to frustrate his pitching rhythm.
In 'Tombstone', "Doc" Holliday winks at a 'Cowboy' and sets-off the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral
I've said this before. This movie and Brian's Song are the only movies a grown man is allowed to cry at while watching them.
💯
Band of Brothers, Episode 10. Just saying.Here in Ephrata, Dick Winters' birthplace, gravesite and memorial.
The ending of LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING and the end of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN make us cry too.
(and the end of RUDY)
I've only seen one reaction to Brian's Song. Shame. Wish more would take it on. Maybe a copyright thing?
Great reaction ladies! 'They wanted to make grown men cry' - well they succeeded! I can't keep a dry eye with this movie - both Doc's 'sacrifice' and Ray calling out to his dad break me, every time since seeing this first in 1989 (I was 11 at the time) - now 45, and it still gets me! I probably watch this once a year.
I love the magic of this movie. Acting, dialogue, music, pacing - it's all perfection. And as much as it's a 'baseball' movie - baseball actually takes a back seat to the main story. Family, regret, relationships...that's the main focus. Cheers!
Thank you!
Great review you two. Field of Dreams is one of the best at capturing the complex relationship between fathers and sons. And yes, most of the guys I know, including myself got teary eyed at the end when they played catch.
Some other good films that capture that complexity of dads and sons, and they are also sports related are The Rookie with Dennis Quaid (I believe it Denis Quaid) Rudy is one of the best it's with Sean Astan, there are several others too. I hope you both could review some of those especially the two mentioned.
Looking forward to more!
Thank you!!
As a man with a .. complicated relationship with his dad, yes I cry every single time.
I am a grown ass man, and I watch this movie every spring (along with Ken Burns Baseball documentary, and a few other baseball movies) and the ending still has me tearing up.
One of the most important things in a young males life is the approval and blessing of his father. I've seen successful adult men in their 60's break down talking about how they never got their fathers approval. I was blessed with a great dad, who I played baseball with, and yes I tear up every time he says "Dad want to have a catch." What I wouldn't give even as an old man now to have one more catch with my dad.
I saw this movie in the theater back in 1989 when it came out. I've watched it multiple times over the years, and it's probably in my top 10 all time favorite movies. And even though I know what's coming, I still get choked up every time.
I saw this when it first came out, about a year after I got out of the USAF. I went back to one of my bases for a reunion party. I saw it at a theater outside the base. It was back in the mid 80s when the services were 90% guys, SO the theater was full of men. When it was over NOBODY got up. I saw dozens of guys get up with red eyes about 5-10 minutes later.
I love this movie! Haven't watched it in a long time though. "Water World" is another good Costner movie.
This movie has made more grown men cry than any other movie in Hollywood history. They'll never admit it, but it's the truth.
When I saw this in the theater, it was pretty crowded, all the men started to "cough" with the Have A Catch (?) line........so did I.......my favorite sports movie. Enjoyed the reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!
I live just an hour away from the field and know a couple of the extras who played some of the baseball players. In 1989, I was 12 years old and baseball was my life. This movie was special then because it was filmed in Iowa and everyone in Iowa had a bumper sticker that read, “Is this heaven? No, it’s Iowa.” For awhile, I think it might have been our state motto. Growing up, some of my favorite memories was playing catch with my dad in the yard. Now that my dad is aging and battling Parkinson’s, I’d give anything to play catch with him again. As a father myself, this movie reminds me to treasure every second I have with my kids. They grow up too fast. As Doc Graham said, “…we just don’t recognize the most significant moments in our lives while they’re happening. [We think] there’ll be other days. [We] don’t realize that [this] was the only day.” And yes,….I cry like a baby every single time he asks, “Wanna have a catch?”
I have seen this movie over and over and I still cry at the end. Living only 45 minutes from the site, I have taken each of my kids to the field to "have a catch". All 5 of my boys have been to the field. The field is different now and too comercialized. The field was actually built on 2 different farmer's fields and one farmer had a concession stand on one side, and the other farmer had a concession on the other side. It is now all owned by an investment firm.
This movie came out when I was 19. It made me cry then, and it still gets me 35 years later. EVERY time!!
This "taver" reminds me of a place I like to stop into! It's 100 yrs old this yr, '24, some things are classic!
It’s a Wonderful Life, Gladiator and This movie, good teary movies y’all have watched, thanks again!
All excellent movies!
one of cinema's great unscripted moments. when costner says "see if you can hit my curve", the script called for a home run, but when ray liotta ( as a right-handed joe jackson) drilled it right back up the middle and costner did his stumble out of the way move, it was too perfect, so they left it in.
Seeing it as a child I didn’t even recognize how it would hit me as an adult. Now that my old man has passed it hits harder. You can go visit the field, which I highly recommend. It was the last place we ever played ball. I treasure that memory.
Yes, I choked up when Ray finally calls him "Dad". There are so many men who wish they had a chance to say to their father what they should have.
Good reaction ladies.
Thank you!
I got my father a shirt. "Dad, do you want to have a catch?" when I was there, it was his favorite shirt for three decades L LOVE, Love & love 💯❤️🙂✅️
Aww
My father is in hospice and probably won't have too much longer left. I'd do anything to have one more catch with him.
Very sorry to hear that. We just went through that with our grandfather 💚
I will never not cry at the, "Hey dad, you wanna have a catch part of this movie. My father passed away 12 years ago and I would give anything for one more day, even one more hour with him. Great movie, great reaction
Thank you!
Wonderful reaction to a wonderfully emotional movie.
I saw this on video soon after it came out when I was 21, and it hit me hard even then. I lost my dad two years ago and it hits even harder now, even though we were on good terms and communicating fairly regularly. But it still hits hard.
Dwier Brown, who played John Kinsella, Ray's dad, wrote a book called "If You Build It..." which is part reflections on this movie and the conversations he had with fans of the movie talking about how the movie affected them. He also comments on how it affected his own relationship with his dad. It is an excellent book.
My maternal grandfather was born in 1897. He was ineligible for being drafted for WWI because he had missed an entire year of high school fighting tuberculosis, and when he graduated he began a somewhat wanderlust period of his life. Among other things he did he spent a couple of years playing baseball for town teams, like the ones young Archie described in the movie. He also joined a small traveling circus for a while too where, among other things, he was a juggler. My mom still has a set of three wooden juggling pins that are a hundred years old that were his from his circus days.
Grandaddy was 71 when I was born (my mom, his first child, was born when he was 46) and even into his late eighties he'd walk their dog up the very steep street that climbed the ridge they lived at the base of and then 3 to 5 miles along the trails on top of the ridge. I remember being sixteen one time when we were walking the dog. I was young and in good shape and I was huffing and puffing my way up the hill. Granddaddy had always been built like a jockey and was probably only about 5'5" then at 87 years old and he wasn't even breathing hard. He was telling me stories about the circus and juggling when he stopped, picked up three larger pieces of gravel off of the roadside, and then started to juggle them while walking up this steep hill and looking at me as he talked. He juggled for a few minutes then caught the stones and dropped them back by the side of the road. If I'm lucky I can juggle one thing. 😀 Grandaddy was amazing. 😛
I still have my dad's dad's glove from when he was a teen, and it looks a lot like Shoeless Joe's did. It's probably from the mid-late 1920s so it's around a hundred years old too. I still pull it on at times and just think about how it feels to have this glove and daydream for a moment about granddad using it in neighborhood or schoolyard games. It's still pretty flexible too and in good condition. 🙂
One of the great Baseball movies. I always tear up at the end. Two other Baseball movies I would recommend are A League Of Their Own and Bull Durham.
Love A League of their Own but haven’t seen Bull Durham!
Yes it for sure get all us guys..i cant watch it without tearing up at the end..I saw it when it originally came out in the theater. i always think about my dad when seeing it, about how long day at work he'd come home, throw fly balls and grounders for me to practice, be at all my games and etc..
When talking to my fellow men we do talk about sci-fi horror slasher and just pure violent movies..But comedy movies are always involved because we're not Monsters. But when such a wholesome good feeling movie with such love and understanding and with class actors and actresses that made it look like a fun job. Well with a story and tale told like that. I'm crying now and have every time I've seen this Feel Good Beauty of a Movie. Michelle and Natalie. Thank You for your true emotions in these reactions and reviews. But I have tears and snot. You have to manage the makeup as well. Cheer's Gorgeous Ladies.xx
Thanks Paul!
I've seen this movie many times and that ending gets me every time!
Moonlight Graham was played by the great Burt Lancaster......look him up......he died just a few yrs after this movie
Costner in this and Dancing with Wolves was two of the best movies he ever made.
I've watched this movie and reactions to it many times. I'm 66 years old and my Dad died 10 years ago. The end of this movie makes me realize he's gone and brings back great memories, so, yes, it still gets me every time I see it. My goal is to take a motorcycle trip this summer and visit the Field of Dreams movie site. I'm sure being there will get to me also.
Hope you take the trip!
You probably saw it but Selma Hayek and Antonio Banderas in Desperado just popped in my head...thought I'd mention it! Solid 4 hoots for me!
Baseball is so Americana that it hits closer to home (literally) for us too.
💯🇺🇸
Great point about movies not being made like that today. Along those lines, there are two other sports movies that are about integrity and redemption that you guys and almost no one else has done. I keep asking reactors to do them, but only a handful have. One is "The Natural, a baseball movie, and the other is "Hoosiers," a basketball movie. I pretty much don't care for sports movies per se, but these movies tug at the heart and soul.
You: This movie is trying to get us!
The movie: Oh, I haven’t gotten you yet? Give me one more line 😏
My father wasn't a baseball fan but he knew I was. So at least 4-5 times every season he would take me and a couple of my friends to see a Minnesota Twins game. As we got a bit older he would just drop us off and go see a movie and pick us up after the game. I forgot to mention we lived an hour away from the ball park. When I turned 16 and got my drivers license my best friend and I went to over 30 games that year.
Good memories!
Gets me every time. About 15 times now..
Yeah, I've seen this movie 100 times since 1988 and just now at 4:24 am, it STILL "got me" when they play catch!
There is a debate about whether James Earl Jones' character, Terrence Mann, actually died. He was presumed missing because he never answered his son's phone call then he is invited into the corn field with the 'ghosts'. As you guys mentioned it has a slight parallel to 'The Sixth Sense'.
It was magic. Saw it in theater as teen, w/brothers & friends. Baseball, still the national game, was a Language we all spoke. What Doc said abt the feel of the game. ALL knew the numbers 61, 56, 2180, Ted Williams the last .400 hitter in '41. The stories, it was American history. It was pure, pure Magic.
I remember seeing this in the theater in the Spring of '89. I enjoyed it and found it to be a touching & entertaining flick and I was fine during the ending scene. Late in the following year, my dad passed. I next saw this movie again in '97 (or maybe '98?), and well. . . in the words of Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that."
You mentioned the music, the soundtrack is brilliant and you find yourself linking it to the parts of the film. It's up there alongside The Blues Brothers and Young Einstein soundtrack.
Classic movie. In a film full of great performances, Ray Liotta's really sells the magic of the story.
I showed this movie at the movie theater I worked at in HS when this came out. I cried every time we showed it then, and I still cry every time I watch it now. It's a very special movie. It's a magical movie. And one that will always hold a special place in my heart.
It most Definitely has a Mystical Ethereal Energy that is Timeless, like Baseball, always Being a Force of Light
I never cried at the end until after I lost my Dad. Now it hits me like a ton of bricks.
Movie makes me cry every time. Even watching your reaction got me.
Burt Lancaster‘s (Doc Graham) last film.
There really was a Moonlight Graham, but he played one game with the NY Giants in 1905. He did in fact become a doctor in Chisolm. He died in 1965, and all those interview stories were true and told by actual friends.
Terence Mann‘s character is J.D. Salinger in the novel. They changed it to avoid a lawsuit.
The odd thing about this movie is that it seems to be even more emotionally poignant to men than to women. Few men can get through this without shedding tears.
oh look at y'all, so heroic! fightin those tears like champs. i saw this in the theatre when it came out, and i never knew my dad, so the end was a disaster for me. 😄 once the scene when his dad started, i don't remember anything until we were headin to the car.
thanks for the reaction, girlies!
Thanks for watching!
Nice one, Ladies! Such a good movie. Thanks for sharing this one. Kevin made 2 other baseball movies. Bull Durham is more light hearted and funny. For Love Of The Game is a special one too. You might enjoy that one a lot. 🙂
Thanks!
I'm a grown man...I have seen this movie dozens of times...and I still cry every time.
The farm you can see in the distance is owned by my dads family. His cousin owned it during filming. Went to the site during a family reunion in 92. Had a catch with my dad on it
Oh cool!!
The ultimate American story that happened to be written by a Canadian. 😊🇺🇸🇨🇦
I was born in 1952. The picture of Marilyn Monroe is an Andy Warhol print that fits the 60's hippy vibe.
Oh this movie gets me everytime. I'm 39.
I can watch the movie or a reaction and it still gets me every single time. Just a beautifully written and acted film. And yes, the brilliant score pushes the emotions perfectly.
I think Terrance Mann (James Earl Jones) was already dead. The newspaper story, in Minnesota, that his dad had been unable to reach him by phone on several attempts... and then that Mann seems to not call him ("What would I say?") makes me believe that he had passed. Also, Mann did not go back to Boston. He went with Ray to Iowa. Then he was "invited" into the cornfield.
I love y'alls reactions. And this movie always makes me have an "allergy reaction" of watery eyes for some reason....
😉🙂😁
Thank you! You may be right!
Not afraid to admit it...I blubber like a baby at the end...and your right ladies, its unfortunate we dont have more movies like this today.....one thing I wonder...when Shoeless Joe says " No Ray....it was you"...does he mean it was Rays own voice guiding him the whole time?.....great flick
Definitely could be!
Doc Grahame was played by Burt Lancaster. The first person in the world to do a triple somersault on the Trapeze.
"You let us know if it gotcha." LOL - the line "Wanna have a catch?" has been making grown men cry for 35 years.
My favorite movie. Great reaction ladies.
Thank you!!
Fun Fact: We all know that Kevin Costner played a character named Ray KINSELLA, but did you notice in the credits that the movie was based on Canadian novelist W. P. KINSELLA'S 1982 novel "Shoeless Joe".
Every year for a while now they do a real life Field of Dreams game in the MLB. Where the players walk out for the field. Very cool thing to see.
