This is the kind of movie that you can point to as an example of good movie-making in that it is relatively simple by production standards of the day, has a good cast, and tells a great story. While the movie uses baseball as it's main hook to get you in, the theme is actually on a more human level. Kevin Costner, is a terrific and wholly believable performance, plays Ray Kinsella, a former hippie and current Iowa farmer, living with his wife, Annie (Amy Madigan) and daughter Karen (Gaby Hoffmann). As he walks through his cornfields one day, he hears a voice that says to him: "If you build it, he will come." Costner interprets this message to mean that he should build a baseball field in the middle of his farm, even though it would mean a terrible financial loss. From there, the story takes twists and turns involving the writer Terrence Mann, the great, but shamed baseball star Shoeless Joe Jackson, and others. Most of all, though, this movie is about second chances. Without giving away too much, it should be said that Phil Alden Robinson, who both brilliantly wrote and directed this movie, manages to takes the very best emotions from the game and merges them with the importance of family, redemption, and even magic.Read full review
The only issue was we had to turn the volume WAY up to hear everything. Otherwise, a joy to watch this movie again!

Field of Dreams has always been one of my favorite movies. I'm glad I found it at a decent price, especially after the MLB game played at the original field.
