Field of Dreams... cringey?

I think most of you guys like sports movies a lot more than I do. The highest ranked sports film on my own list of best movies I've seen is The Big Lebowski, and it's a pretty big stretch to call that a sports movie anyway. I have it ranked #120. Then I have the Natural at #192. Field of Dreams doesn't make the top 1000.

A stretch to call the Big Lebowski a sports movie? Obviously you're not a golfer.

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.
