Field of Dreams (Widescreen Two-Disc Anniversary Edition)

Field of Dreams...was about baseball,but in a fantasy way.I really love it.Kevin Costner,Amy Madigan,Earl Jones,and the rest of the cast were real great in this movie too.It's a family movie i would highly recommened everyone to watch it.

Every one should see this movie - If you have not, you are missing out on a very good well know and well done movie. A good family movie! The newer DVD has bonus footage that tells why the movie is still going strong after nearly 10 years. Let your iminagination go and see what you can dream of - Maybe it will come true for you if you let your dreams guide you.

I love baseball and have a great relationship with my father, yet found this to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

1. Ridiculously convoluted plot. It had promise for about 10 minutes then completely fell apart. Ease his pain? Seriously. What did Burt Lancaster's and James Earl Jones' characters have anything to do with the movie? Was Jones written into the plot just to spew off a few contrived lines about baseball? And the doctor "crossing the line" scene was a joke at best. The entire point of the plot was to somehow lead to father and son playing catch. Wow, what a creative, inspiring ending.

2. OVERACTING. Kevin Costner is a marginal actor at best, and the whiny frustrated farmer role is laughable in this movie. Should I laugh when he gets "frustrated" with the voice? And Busfield's rant/shake the daughter scene was pathetic. And the "Oh my god! Where did these ballplayers suddenly come from?" expression was priceless.

3. Cheesy. Tries way, way too hard to force the father-son-baseball-bonding theme down everyone's throat. If Jones or Costner or the doctor would have spouted off one more sappy line about baseball, I might have thrown up. But I guess some people like the overdramatic garbage.

After watching this movie with my dad, I felt bonded to him in that we were both cracking up laughing at just how bad the movie turned out to be. I had high hopes after Bull Durham, but they were shot down about 20 minutes into this stinker.

"Ease his pain." That just about sums it up.

I just watched "Field of Dreams" for the very first time tonight on cable. My Dad died this past November and for whatever reason, I felt compelled to watch this movie tonight. Now after doing so, I know I will be ordering it from Amazon.com. What a beautiful, moving movie this was! People talk about it like it is about a son and his Dad. But it can just as easily be about a daughter and her Dad ... like it was for me. I remember when it first came out; I wasn't interested in seeing it as it was just a baseball movie. I found out tonight that it is so very much more than just that. Check it out and be sure to bring a big box of kleenex!

I have loved this movie since the first time I saw it, my VHS tape broke I watched it some many times, so very glad it is out on DVD, If your fighting with your son and he is old enough to understand, tie him to a chair and make him watch this movie with you so someday it's not to late to make up or make piece with your son for what ever reason, because in real life dad can not come back to ease his pain or yours.
