Field of Dreams... cringey?

I agree. I watched it with my 8 yr old daughter last month and she loved it.

Ps I also think the natural sucks

I always thought that when Mr Mann goes into the cornfield he gets to play at Ebbets Field with Jackie Robinson. I'm probably wrong though.

This simple sentence sums it up for me.

Love them all FOD, The Sandlot , The Natural , and of course Major League ( but NOT Major League 2 ). The only great thing that happens when the World Series ends each year is that MLB network shows Baseball by Ken Burns and those movies repeatedly until spring training starts !!!
One of my favorite scenes in FOD is when KC and JEJ are at the concession stand before taking their seats at Fenway Park and Ray is pontificating on what he wants and then he asks Terence what he wants ....

I personally enjoyed Eight Men Out about a hundred times more than Field of Dreams. Although I do think Joe Jackson was miscast in both movies.

Gophers, not golfers!

Surprised no one has mentioned that they remember "If you build it, they will come" as the quote from the movie. Quite a few around the world have that memory instead of "he". I get why he works clearly, but I never heard it that way before these past few months...

My two favorite movies are 2001: A Space Odyssey and Raging Bull. The former is "sci fi" but it's not about science fiction or space. I'm agnostic, but my Spanish Catholic friend says "It's about God." Raging Bull is about a boxer but it isn't a sports movie.

Great art transcends the genre.
