Just goes to show everyone is different, because to me ‘Field of Dreams’ was a drag. (best base ball movie for me is Robert Redford’s ‘The Natural’ and Costner’s best movie is ‘Open Range’.
Yeah, The Natural is a great movie, one that I'll watch almost every time I see it on TCM. Open Range is excellent, too, as is most anything with Robert Duvall in the cast.
I think the supporting cast is what compels me to watch Field of Dreams from time to time, as well. Ray Liotta. James Earl Jones. Burt Lancaster!! Costner has been damned lucky, if you think about it.
I don’t know. James Earls Jones’ declaration of the innocence and joy of America that baseball represents brings a tear to my eye. I love the whole thing.
