The movie didn't win any awards in Hollywood, even though it was the greatest sports movie ever made. In the hearts of America it will always be special. I think about my father every time I watch the movie. He died at 63, and I'm 75 now.
I think Hoosiers is the best sports film ever made, but Field of Dreams is so special, I view it honestly as more of a heartwarming drama than anything else. It's about 2nd chances and regrets and things unsaid between fathers and sons. Yet, there's enough baseball in the film where you could still call it a sports film I guess.
You will never be forgotten James. Our children and our grandchildren will have memories of your voice. Gone but never forgotten. Forever is preserved in film history.
RIP James Earl Jones. You captured not only baseball but life in this speech. I can't watch this and not shed a tear 😢. RIP Burt Lancaster and Ray Liotta as well. Hey rookie....you were good.
This movie lead James Earl Jones to doing the prelude speech to Game 1 of the 1989 world series SF giants against the Oakland A's.. ahh great memories!
Never can make it through this gem of a movie without breaking down. After hearing of James Earl Jones passing I had to come here to listen to this monumental speech....and writing this with a tear or two running down my cheek. Thank you sir for gracing us with your talent!
This is one of those movies with so many moments that bring tears to your eyes. Pure magic, thank you James Earl Jones, Burt Lancaster and all the other greats in this movie. Thank you....
Had to come here after hearing the news about James Earl Jones passing. One of the great speeches in cinema history by one of the greatest American icons in history! RIP James Earl Jones
My father passed away when I was 15 years old, I've grown up what should've been the best years of my life without him there for guidance & support. Every time I watch this movie, I get to the last 10 minutes, when Ray plays catch with his father and the tears start running. I'm 63 years old this year & I still miss my dad so much - mostly because I start thinking about how much different my life could've been. Field of Dreams - a truly great movie.
@@melvinsmiley5295 Thanks, mate. What made my father's passing worse - if anything could - was the fact that my brother passed away from a car crash just 12 months earlier.
I feel ya, Brad. It's an emotional movie, especially for me. My father died in his thirties, when I was just a child. I cry at that part, too. Who wouldn't?
@@MrArcadia2009 I'm so sorry for your loss also. It's difficult to sum up the feelings that overwhelm you as you grow up in the preceding years, but we just have to make the most of it. Cheers from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
I normally am NOT a big celebrity caring guy, but James Earl Jones will ALWAYS be a favorite. GREAT voice & character actor!! RIP, sir, and thank you for making entertainment worth watching.
Went to the Field in 2022 and it was just what I expected. Never been anywhere, other than my great aunt and uncle’s farm, that was as peaceful as the Field of Dreams. Going back in December to see more of Iowa and we’re going back to Dyersville and I can’t wait
R.I.P. to one of the greatest actors to ever live. My goodness, so many incredibly executed performances. So many memorable roles. Mr. Jones is one of the greatest of all-time.
I knew I would come here again to watch this movie. And I knew I would want to watch this movie when one of the actors had passed away. And now, Here I am again. And I'm sad to say I was right. Rest in Peace, James Earl Jones.
I've been meaning to watch it this week before i read the sad news. I finally made my commitment last night. And could not be timely with baseball season almost over.
@@lavans06 I think it's because Graham never got a chance to play, he was as good as any of the legends but life worked against him, but he had his moment allowing that one last regret to fade.
I love the look on his face when he hears that. Burt Lancaster was incredible in this role. And as much as his character wishes he could have played in the majors, the scene where he says that the real tragedy would have been if he never came home and been a doctor… I just well up. It’s so beautiful. We may not have gotten every wish, we still have this beautiful life. I don’t know, it makes me so emotional. This movie always makes me laugh and cry. It’s one of my favorites ❤
Watched this movie at least 50 times the whole way thru. I believe Field of Dreams and the Natural were hands down the 2 best fantasy/sports movies ever made. Great actors and stories that played into our own dreams as kids.
I watched it once and was hardly moved... sorry, it was incredibly cheesy, as were many 80's movies. I love baseball, and the performances themselves were on point, but the premise was so... dumb. Bunch of people on acid trips.
I am so glad I got to see and meet James Earl Jones in Perth, Western Australia in the stage performance of Driving Miss Daisy with Angela Lansbury. God bless him, forever. The man was and is a legend that will live forever.
So crazy to believe we lost two individuals in the last two years that were involved in some of Disney's biggest successes and some of theatre's beloved ventures.
THANK YOU James Earl Jones for all the great hours you provided us all in your career! Weve enjoyed your talents for a long many years and will miss your wonderful calming voice and remember it's tambor fondly the rest of our days! THANK YOU SIR! RIP🙏 INTO THE CORN GOOD SIR!
I do love the magic and timing of not having a green screen of Timothy Busfield walking in mid pitch and trusting not to get plunked even though Mark did deserve it until he opened his eyes.
I put this #2 behind Robert Shaw's Indianapolis story in JAWS. If we're making a list, for me #3 would be William Wallace's "But they can't take our freedom" speech from Braveheart, Rocky's talk with his son in Rocky Balboa, and Col. Kurtz's "I love the smell of napalm in the morning" speech from Apocalypse Now.
Had the pleasure to visit the field after enjoying this movie for so many years. Highly recommend anyone passing through Iowa to stop in. I just wish it would have been in the middle of corn season. Either way it was a magical place to see and play a game of catch.
I think the only movie that might be close BUT not close enough is Trouble with the Curve with Clint Eastwood. Just keep in mind that I said I think and not close enough. He hears the batter missing the Curve he sort of trains his daughter to hear it. On the Atlanta Braves field "peanut boy" gives the true test with the kid with John Goodman and the others being there to watch. I like what Robert Patrick "Vince" says to the gang "Jesus Christ and nobody saw this" and he tells Matthew Lillard "Philip" "You're Fired". It's baseball season so break out the DVD movies. 😆 OR watch the games on TV or the ballpark live
Until last night, the last time i saw this oldie but a goodie flick it was during the summer lockdowns in 2020. And JEJ gave the speech that was timelier then and maybe timely now. And here i am paying my respect to this legend. And like most of my fellow late 20's/early 30 year olds, the first glimpse i had of his talent was as Mufasa.
This is one of those near-perfect movies that will run wild on your emotions and leave you drained but VERY satisfied by the movie's end. Just a wonderful film, exceptionally written and directed, and with an awesome cast.
I rank this soliloquy right there with Quint retelling the fate of the USS Indianapolis in JAWS. Of course I could listen to James Earl Jones reading the phone book but this scene is still fantastic.
I recently had bought the 4k finally watched it today and watched this scene a dozen times but the part where James goes into the cornfield is priceless thanks for the memories we'll miss you ❤❤
I built a Wiffle ball field in my back property, because of this movie. I laid out there with my wife last night under our lights, and listened to the 'Field of dreams' theme. Thank you James for being a large part of the favorite movie of my childhood.
And the people did come! We drove out from NY in '07, and it was exactly how I always pictured it as a kid. Magical. I read the book years ago, but my opinion of it was definitely clouded by my love of this film.
This brings a torrent of emotions watching it. I never really understood the movie as a kid, but my dad was such a diehard fan of it I ended up rubbing off on me and I can't tell ya how much it means to me and the connection between my father and I. I need to watch it with him again ASAP before I blink and it's too late.
RIP James Earl Jones and thanks for everything. Hope you can see and enjoy all the next games to come in the hereafter. Peace my good man. You were good 😢🫡
Moonlight caring for the daughter was one of the most heroic cinematic moments on film. Bur Lancaster is a legend, minutes on the scene, acts like a main actor.
Interesting how when an alarmed Moonlight Graham runs past Shoeless Joe, his stoic face never changes. He knows this is part of the sequence of events that must happen in order for the ending to be realized.
It's tougher than ever these days to find good movies. As much as i enjoy big budget spectacle, we all need a little slice of life story once in a while.
A great movie. James Earl Jones, thank you for sharing your immense talent, and your unforgettable voice. RIP.
Same here, He had amazing roles not only as Darth Vader and Mustafa but also this and as an admiral in The Hunt for Red October
He will be missed
@@ScotsThinker Same

Rest in peace Mr. Jones... I will save this moment in my memory till the day I die. Thank you for the legacy Sir!
We will miss you James Earl Jones. You were a legend and icon and impacted all of us with your work.
Just heard the sad news. See you on the other side Grandpa James!
He’s a big miss…
Just heard of James Earl Jones passing. Such a wonderful actor! Nice to have these little reminders of how good he was.
The movie didn't win any awards in Hollywood, even though it was the greatest sports movie ever made. In the hearts of America it will always be special. I think about my father every time I watch the movie. He died at 63, and I'm 75 now.
So do I sir
Not only a magical wonderful movie, but the music goes with it so perfectly! As a musician I always notice the music 😅
I think Hoosiers is the best sports film ever made, but Field of Dreams is so special, I view it honestly as more of a heartwarming drama than anything else. It's about 2nd chances and regrets and things unsaid between fathers and sons. Yet, there's enough baseball in the film where you could still call it a sports film I guess.
The best baseball movie ever is 42!
Who's says there's no Romanticism in Baseball ❤❤❤❤
You will never be forgotten James. Our children and our grandchildren will have memories of your voice.
Gone but never forgotten. Forever is preserved in film history.
WELL SAID!
RIP James Earl Jones. You captured not only baseball but life in this speech. I can't watch this and not shed a tear 😢. RIP Burt Lancaster and Ray Liotta as well. Hey rookie....you were good.

As much as I love James Earl Jones in this scene, the moment Doc comes off the field always brings tears to my eyes
Rip James. Your voice and presence will live on forever. We love you.
I've watched that scene maybe a couple dozen times and it still gives me chills. Truly one of the greatest scenes in cinema history.

Thank god this film was made. Absolute all time classic!
This scene hits different now. 😭
R.I.P. James Earl Jones
(January 17, 1931 - September 9, 2024)
May God rest his soul in heaven amen
Footfire, James Earl Ray has died today, September 9, 2024, at age 93. He was one of America's finest actors. Love ya, sir.
James Earl Ray was the guy who killed Mlk
James Earl Jones, come on. BIG difference!
@@Johnfisher12345 , I cannot believe I wrote that wrong. James Earl Jones was one of my favorites. I despised Mr. Ray!
“When did these ball players get here?”
The laugh by Amy after that line is perfect.
And from what I understand, her laugh was very real, due to Tim Busfield being very funny on set and with his add libs.
R.I.P. to one of the greatest actors to ever live. My goodness, so many incredibly executed performances. So many memorable roles. Mr. Jones is one of the greatest of all-time.
This movie always makes me cry, and I watch it every Father's Day.
every dam time, even this clip
Never had a dad, and it still makes me cry.
Ditto!!!
@@MarkusHeimy That makes me sad brother. I am so sorry. It was a different time years ago. Dad's didn't stay. Glad you are here.
@@MarkusHeimymy dad died over 20 years ago and i never missed the POS that he was. It’s an excellent movie. It doesn't make me cry, though.
The voice and acting of James Earl Jones is simply sublime... one of my all time fav actors..
James is so bad ass
RIP JAMES/VADER!
Rest in Peace to James Earl Jones. January 17th, 1931 - Sept 9th, 2024.
I knew I would come here again to watch this movie. And I knew I would want to watch this movie when one of the actors had passed away. And now, Here I am again. And I'm sad to say I was right. Rest in Peace, James Earl Jones.
I've been meaning to watch it this week before i read the sad news. I finally made my commitment last night. And could not be timely with baseball season almost over.
The look on Burt Lancaster face when Ray Liotta said you were good said it all
A trip down memory lane watching this movie scene - Is that because Graham never did get a chance at-bat but instead fielded?
@@lavans06 I think it's because Graham never got a chance to play, he was as good as any of the legends but life worked against him, but he had his moment allowing that one last regret to fade.

And as much as his character wishes he could have played in the majors, the scene where he says that the real tragedy would have been if he never came home and been a doctor… I just well up. It’s so beautiful. We may not have gotten every wish, we still have this beautiful life. I don’t know, it makes me so emotional.
This movie always makes me laugh and cry. It’s one of my favorites ❤
I couldn't figure it out. Was it anguish because of what he could have been, or was it satisfaction with what his life became?
@@gamehengeful That's one hell of a COLES NOTES kind of questions lol
RIP, James. What a performance
Cried just watching this clip, beautiful movie, viewed lots, love
9/9/24 RIP great actor, icon James Earl Jones. Thank you.
Love the ending, but my favorite part of the movie is when they pick up the young Moonlight Graham along the side of the road. That gives me chills.
Watched this movie at least 50 times the whole way thru. I believe Field of Dreams and the Natural were hands down the 2 best fantasy/sports movies ever made. Great actors and stories that played into our own dreams as kids.

Bunch of people on acid trips.
One of the best movies ever made
Totally agree--and the woman main actor --was --GREAT on "STREETS on FIRE""-too--this movie has SPIRIT AND MAGIC--just try-tue rollf
"People will come Ray".....Have FAITH.....Thank you GOD!!!!!!
James Earl Jones is bidding us goodbye after his wonderful time with us on Earth-Rest In Peace Legend!

INTO THE CORN GOOD SIR!
James Earl Jones could read the symptoms from a medication and it would bring some kind of emotions forward.
facts. if he narrated my life, he'd be inspiration for me to do more. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Luke!... I am your father!
I do love the magic and timing of not having a green screen of Timothy Busfield walking in mid pitch and trusting not to get plunked even though Mark did deserve it until he opened his eyes.
Still my favorite James Earl Jones movie, and one of my all-time favorites.
Brilliant scene. A huge Thank you to Sir James Earl Jones. 🙏 😇 He had such a commanding heavenly voice. Beautiful 👏👏👏❤
The monologue given by James Earl Jones is one of the top 5 all time in cinema history
I put this #2 behind Robert Shaw's Indianapolis story in JAWS. If we're making a list, for me #3 would be William Wallace's "But they can't take our freedom" speech from Braveheart, Rocky's talk with his son in Rocky Balboa, and Col.

@@Rockhound6165don't remember or care re Jaws. But PATTON. George C. Scott. Especially with the memory of those Roman trumpets.
The amazing thing is that baseball diamond is still there and 35 years later people are still visiting!!
Had the pleasure to visit the field after enjoying this movie for so many years. Highly recommend anyone passing through Iowa to stop in. I just wish it would have been in the middle of corn season. Either way it was a magical place to see and play a game of catch.
Even as a german without connection to baseball I love this Film so much😔
Same as a Brit!
I'm an Aussie, and I love this movie because it's not just about baseball ⚾, but a movie about loss fathers and sons and finding peace.
Now that James has passed...people will come. They'll come to this video. People will most definitely come!
i came and saw the memory will always live on....they will come
REST IN PEACE MR. JONES. YOUR TALENTED WORK WILL REMAIN A TREASURE TO ALL WHO SEES YOUR WORK. THANK YOU🙏🖤
I love the part about how memories will come flooding back.
Seen this movie a 100 times, this scene still makes me tear up.
im 65 and every time i watch this movie i have a few tears!
僕は20代の日本人ですが毎回この映画で涙が溢れます😂
多分前世で大昔のメジャーリーグを観戦してたんでしょう笑
how blessed we are to have been graced with #JEJ's tremendous talent. This 1 monologue was a salve for my soul during the pandemic.
Rip peace kind Sir. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. We’ll see ya soon.
RIP James Earl Jones. You were a legendary voice in my childhood. Thank you Sir.❤
There are only a few films I would watch over and over again. This is one of them.
I've seen it 3 times now. I first discovered Field Of Dreams ten years ago i believe
This scene gets me every single time.
Watching Hollywood legends James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster and crying my eyes out. RIP.
The memories will be so thick they'll have to brush them away from their faces.
Rest in peace, James Earl Jones! Absolute legend!
This is one of my all time favourite movie 🎬 ❤❤ they don't make movies like this anymore truly one of the greats
I think the only movie that might be close BUT not close enough is Trouble with the Curve with Clint Eastwood. Just keep in mind that I said I think and not close enough.

Keep playing baseball in heaven james. Rip.
What a beautiful film this is. Not seeing the magic behind the corn field brings so much power to the film.
Amazing movie speech by a great actor, James Earl Jones. The set of pipes that he has, and the "way" he talks... amazing.
I built a Wiffle ball field in my back property, because of this movie. I laid out there with my wife last night under our lights, and listened to the 'Field of dreams' theme. Thank you James for being a large part of the favorite movie of my childhood.
Wow to see Burt Lancaster was unbelievable, what a great movie
And the people did come! We drove out from NY in '07, and it was exactly how I always pictured it as a kid. Magical. I read the book years ago, but my opinion of it was definitely clouded by my love of this film.

Do it! Do it now while there's still time
Hurry! I wish I could do the same. :(

The greatest peach ever given in a movie. Delivered by a wonderful actor
A great powerful scene doctor saved his daughter’s life! 🥺
Most beautiful scene ever.
Today we lost a legend, Rest in peace James Earl Jones
Incredible voice
This was one hell of a movie 👍
Happy 35th anniversary, _Field of Dreams._
RIP James Earl Jones.
Moonlight caring for the daughter was one of the most heroic cinematic moments on film. Bur Lancaster is a legend, minutes on the scene, acts like a main actor.
This scene makes grown 75 yo men cry like infants.
To have Shoeless Joe Jackson tell you that you were good....
And, women !!! 💙
Interesting how when an alarmed Moonlight Graham runs past Shoeless Joe, his stoic face never changes. He knows this is part of the sequence of events that must happen in order for the ending to be realized.
I forgot how good this movie was! Thank you so much!
One of the best movies ever, glad I got to grow up in the 80's
They just cant make them like this anymore, such a special film
It's tougher than ever these days to find good movies. As much as i enjoy big budget spectacle, we all need a little slice of life story once in a while.
