Ray Kinsella(Kevin Costner)decides to follow his dreams. Soon he starts hearing voices and decides to plow up his cornfield and build a baseball diamond. This takes him on a journey with baseball greats of the past. He is joined by writing legend Terence Mann(James Earl Jones). Ray soon discovers that it wasn't his dreams that were talking to him but the unsettling past he had with his Father. This movie is as always a great family film with a great family message.
A wonderfully heartwarming film. I don't even like Kevin Costner as an actor EXCEPT in this movie. He got the everyday man character down perfectly in this and Amy Madigan, Burt Lancaster, James Earl Jones, and Timothy Busfield are all equally as perfect!!! One of the few perfect movies there is on this earth!!!!!
I love the movie Field of Dreams - not only because it's a great movie, but because it was shot just outside of Dyersville, Iowa - and that's only about 45 minutes away from where I live. I've been to the Field of Dreams a couple of times and always enjoy going out there.
This is definitely a must movie for everyones collection. The best baseball movie there is. I have seen this movie many times, and I never get tired of seeing it. A great movie!
This film is definitely a classic, whether you're a sports fan or not, you'll love the movie! It deals with history, family, and love for the game of baseball. Exciting, emotional, and worthy of buying! A+

Field of Dreams : A great baseball movie with Kevin Costner
Review created: 05/18/01
by: three_ster-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies
Pros: plot, baseball, acting, heart-warming story
Cons: none
Field of Dreams came out back in 1989. It was directed by Phil Alden Robinson, who also wrote and directed the movie "Sneakers" in 1992, which stared Robert Redford, and Dan Akroyd. While he has not had very many films to his credit over the years, he is one of those Directors that excels at every film that he is involved in. Field of Dreams was nominated for 3 academy awards in 1990, which included Best Picture, and best writing. Though the film did not pull out a victory, it just goes to show how good this film really was. The movie stars Kevin Costner, as a farmer living in Iowa who hears..

Field of Dreams; Is This Heaven? No, It's Iowa
Review created: 06/29/05
by: popsrocks -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Easy to watch with a wonderful storyline.
Cons: It's not on more often.
There are a few movies that I can watch over and over and there are also a few movies that are broadcast on TV over and over that give me the opportunity to watch often. One of these films is Field of Dreams. It happens to be a very well written film that has drama, humor, a heartwarming story and more than a touch of magic. This combined with Kevin Costner at his acting best and the support of two of Americas great actors in James Earl Jones and Burt Lancaster continues to make this a film that draws my complete interest whenever it is on. It's a funny thing, I own it on VHS but many times...

FIELD OF DREAMS: Great Summer Movies, No. 1
Review created: 05/31/04
by: Ed.Williamson -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Old-time movie magic.
Cons: A premise perhaps a bit fuzzy, but still somehow appropriated.
It's hard to know what to like best about FIELD OF DREAMS (1989), but this is a great show to watch on a soft summer's evening when the worries of the world are far away and the weather forecast is for (to paraphrase a phrase from another Great Summer Movie , Doc Hollywood ) "soft breezes through the willows and watch out for the lightning bugs." Of course, it is really a guy s movie, a sort of testosterone-lite film. This is also a movie, after movies about watching the world turn into a giant snowball (The Day After Tomorrow), after being let down by Shrek 2 (Shrek 2), or after sleeping...

Were It Only A Field Of Reality
Review created: 10/05/00
by: Joubert -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Outstanding story and some very strong acting
Cons: Tiny flaw - a little too long at the conclusion
An old axiom states that every man has one great story in him about his relationship with his father. Field of Dreams is one such story, written by William Kinsella, who in the best tradition of Frank Capra, manages to gleefully wrap sentiment around his tale without overdoing the emotion. Our home has a ritual that compels us to watch Field of Dreams every spring. That s a time when the movie s main element, baseball, is bursting forth into our consciousness again. Spring warming encourages us to look at the greenery around us and marvel in the rebirth. The Message: What The Film Means To Me.

Field of Freudian Dreams
Review created: 03/19/00
by: buffoonery -- a member of Epinions
Pros: Nice baseball scenes and Costner is likeable
Cons: Amy Madigan, leftist politics
This is a mostly inoffensive star vehicle about an Iowa farmer/60's drop-out played by the likeable Kevin Costner who, like many of that generation, is bothered by voices in his head. In Kevin's case, the voices inspire him to build a baseball field on his cornfield. Sure enough, after construction is completed, Shoeless Joe Jackson shows up and quicker than the phrase "suspended for life" springs to mind, the rest of the Black Sox make their appearances on the diamond. Not satisfied with raising ballplayers from the dead, Kevin trucks off to Boston to seek J.D. Salinger (in the movie, under..
