Field of Dreams | "If You Build It, He Will Come"

[@wilkytx]

When I was a kid, my dad and I were playing catch and I missed the ball and it hit me right in the eye. That night we watched Field of Dreams for one reason or another. Then while watching this ending scene, my dad made a joke about catching it with the glove and not your eye. We both laughed til we cried. We both loved this movie. Now, some 30 years later and 13 years since he passed away, I wish for nothing more than to play catch one last time with my dad.

[@earlyriser8998]

my dad and i never played catch as he was much older than the characters here. He died when I was just barely out of college. But I can so feel the emotions here. And miss the chance to bond with him...or just work in the wood shop again..... but my wife and i played catch and I caught a ball to my eye pre-game.....had to wait until the game was over, and she finished pitching, to go to the emegency room and get stitches

[@KJR619]

Me to my man

[@73Trident]

God bless you Jason. Played catch with my Dad a few times. The memories.

[@lou887]

BBBBLLLLLEEEESSSSSSS

[@mikejackson5666]

That's beautiful mate

[@jameshar9592]

My 22 year son loved this movie...wore out a VHS tape...last year in May 2021 my son came to visit me in Iowa on leave from the Marines. My bucket list item was to one day play catch with him on the field of dreams. and for 45 glorious minutes on May 24th, 2021 we did just that. both of us were awestruck by it. We played catch quite a bit while he grew up, but this was so special. So magical! we brought a bat...I hit him some fly balls and he caught them. then we watch a group of school children play baseball sitting in the bleachers..OMG was so awesome! thanks for posting.

[@janefromtennessee]

Wonderful time for you both

[@patricagreen140]

Thankyou for posting that , a wonderful read

[@cbaile]

Everyone talks about Ray Liotta in Goodfellas but Field of Dreams was the first movie I saw him in. RIP Ray.

[@carmarasmussen8118]

Me too. So handsome in this movie. RIP Shoeless Joe.

[@ardenevox]

Loved Ray as Shoeless Joe.

[@faithcastillo9597]

This is the movie where I fell in love with Ray Liotta and Dwyer Brown.

[@theshawshankinception1220]

Um, no one talks about him in goodfellas lol. Unfairly I might add. They only talk about De Niro and Pesci.

[@Voucher765]

And now James Earl Jones himself

[@Tomcat304]

Everytime I watch this movie, I think of my dad. He died 15 years ago. We had amazing times and times that weren't so great! We dealt with life together! He wasn't very athletic buy he enjoyed playing football with us! I know he's watching over me from Heaven. How about a catch, dad! In my ❤ forever! Miss ya!!!

[@matthewmelton7831]

What a special place in my heart. 2024 and it still gets me

[@MegaBpop]

32 years later, I still cry at this scene.

[@아이다호산감자]

I agree

[@KorbinX]

Who doesn't?

[@JuanBautista-fx3rh]

We all do.

[@the_mike_essen_show2484]

Field of Dreams is easily one of the 5 greatest sports movies ever made

[@soumyajitdas6598]

Truly Inspirational . Never gets old .

James Earl Jones is now in heaven, Rest In Peace legend

Still makes a grown man tear up a little

[@jjglong51]

You can say that again!

[@7star7storm7]

[@bobnellis375]

I usually do oK until Ray says "Hey Dad, wanna have a catch?" then I lose it

[@barneybarnes7796]

Not a little, but a lot.

[@joemueth4077]

Every time I watch it.

[@CD-oq8em]

The line from Shoeless Joe was so impactful. 'No Ray, it was you.'

[@theolamp5312]

Wife, Daughter, Husband & Father - An emotionally charged scene. Yes, it is what dreams are made of.

[@patton303]

What a beautiful, loving and spooky movie. They won’t make movies like this anymore because nothing is exploding.

[@anthonyd507]

I think every early 80’s born man who watched this with his dad had a special moment. My fathers dad died when he was in Vietnam. I remember him crying, then looked at me and said, “I’d give anything to have one last catch with my dad”. I can’t watch this without tearing up.

[@BEHEDETY]

This every scene is perfect every second is so good. hey you all out here we have a pleasure of enjoy it. I hope many enjoy it for many years to come.

[@jonathanb244]

Of course, Ray Liotta's tragic death linked me to this video. Powerful film.. great message. I need to watch it again.

[@jklucero]

RIP Ray Liotta

[@Kelly-zb8to]

This is my #1 movie its truly amazing how each one of these people touched the lives of all who was living their dreams I will never forget how many times I cried when each one of the best spoke to Kevin about a dream and truth😢💯🧚

[@Djbillymcmullet]

I still cry in 2024! That's my Father! No Ray, it was you. ❤ is this Heaven? Yes it is...

[@davefuhrman9345]

a movie can touch your heart, I've forgotten that.

[@rexhargrove5172]

Yep, this movie always makes me cry and I love it

[@DGFX64]

One of the best movies ever made.

[@ptommo1543]

This film makes me cry every time….now, even more so over Shoeless Joe/Ray Liotta. :(

[@dnorfed]

I always get a tear in my eye when I see this picture, even this clip, it’s a memory I wish I had of my dad who wouldn’t come to anything I ever did😊

[@NickthaGeek]

Got this a few months ago in 4k. Absolutely stunning transfer. A must buy

[@lukejoseph9697]

MANCHESTER UNITED I didn’t ask

[@jasonwass6865]

MANCHESTER UNITED F.C I do not see a soccer movie I see a baseball movie so ima ask politely for you to fuck off

[@andrewelliott1592]

@M who asked

[@P_RoC45]

@M soccer is for bitchess like yourself go find a shitty soccer movie to watch. And while you’re at it go play footsie with another man while the rest of us enjoy this scene.

[@bluestarlighting29]

Love this classic film movie. I came there. Had see it for the first time. Back 1975. Live on farm both side of corn field high down the driveway. My 5 th grade. So magical moments of gift from God. Wish put on steelbox Collection. Dvd and blueray DVD. Thank You. My mom late father love baseball. Listen on radio station. He was hardest working Farmer and church on Sunday morning. My late grandma was church teacher. Back 1970s. Lots great memories back then in Iowa. Or feel like Heaven. God Country Land my gramma was out pick pumpkins got loss in corn field 1982. She spend night in cold night in corn field. Cover up corn leaf. Had plane to find her. Iowa. Dreams do one true. Once life time once see it in person why want more dvd and blueray DVD. Thank You. Truly amazing film movie of Baseball. Awesome film movie A plus. Once see sign on Highway like dream do come true. Never forget at all.

[@LisaMarie-ln1vp]

I saw this movie in the theaters when it first came out. There wasn't a dry eye in the place. Still one of my favorite movies!!

[@KorbinX]

One of the few times in cinematic history where the fiction of a movie becomes reality. Baseball has come to this very field. Good on MLB for making this come true. Crazy how much this movie impacted the sport.

[@edalhouse645]

This scene almost brought me to tears! @ 8:15! How beautiful! Thanks Kevin!

[@janefromtennessee]

Yes,thanks Kevin

[@kdbenoit75]

happened upon this just now. Been to that field, born and raised in Iowa. "Is this Heaven..no,, it's IOWA! 😭

[@justinl.shults7217]

4:04 When Ray said "it was you" A. K. A. Shoeless Joe Jackson was all the way across the field and he turned around "no Ray it was you", So if Joe Jackson can hear Ray say "it was you" at 350 to 400 yards when Ray said "THAT'S MY FATHER" no doubt in my mind Joe Jackson heard Ray say that as he's entering into the corn field. That's why when Ray walked over to introduce himself and his family to his father: RAY'S FATHER WAS STILL YOUNG BEFORE RAY WAS BORN OR HIS FATHER GOT MARRIED TO HIS MOTHER 8:03 A UNBREAKABLE LOVE BETWEEN FATHER AND SON PLAYING CATCH WITH EACH OTHER.

[@IlIlIlIlIlIlIlIl-v9h]

“Dad, you wanna have a catch?” How can you be a man and NOT cry

[@naymyo5503]

It still gets me every time I watch this after all these years.

[@randylackey8294]

"Hey Dad, you wanna have a catch?" And then it gets really dusty wherever I am.

[@okcman34]

One of the best movie endings ever.

[@cjackmond]

Still gets me. I would give the world to have one last catch with my dad.

[@crypastesomemore8348]

Kevin Costner is a national treasure. And Waterworld and Postman were amazing. *Mic drop.*

[@janefromtennessee]

He absolutely is, still at 69 years old as well. Thank you, Kevin Costner

[@patrickhickey8779]

I stand in my corn fields often thinking of my father often with tears in my eyes. I have known what it feels like to have that talk with my banker . But years later i am still on my land thi king of what my father was like long before life had worn him down. The best scene in any movie ever. End of story

[@urbana11229]

and it took a long time for this baby boomer to realize the hardships of my greatest generation father, and everything he did for us that took ALL HE HAD !

[@bobnellis375]

My grandfather had a small farm but lost money on it every year --- only kept it alive because of his machinist day job --- he had lots of talks with bankers about foreclosure --- but in the end, you fight for what you believe in

[@roblockhart6104]

I was about 11 yrs old when this film, which I forgot all about, came out. Just heard them mention it on espn, so I decided to KZbin it. Now, chopped onions are everywhere and my face is buried in a towel. And I don't even have daddy issues, wth!?!

[@theolamp5312]

Has anyone ever been better in a baseball movie than Kevin Costner ? I would look to For Love Of The Game as his final statement on Baseball.

[@janefromtennessee]

No one better than Kevin Costner. He picks good ones.

This film makes me feel like playing baseball. As I said on a tribute page for "The Natural", that film makes me feel like writing screenplays. Go the distance, Kinsella.

[@Cjnw]

That's another movie altogether!

[@CD-oq8em]

Not many movies have this type of emotional impact.

[@madhippy3]

I have heard this quote, but never this movie. I wonder what I saw that must have paid an homage to this.

[@adamm7050]

Most likely 'The Benchwarmers' .. The scene when they decide to build the baseball field. "Build it, nerds will come." & the hilarious line; "Keep it under a million, that's all i've got. On me.."

[@janefromtennessee]

I think so

[@fatknacker46]

Achingly beautiful

[@kurtchurba1994]

Baseball has (had) stood the test of time- until 2020. We could use a re-release of this movie again.. if nothing else to help us to refocus on family, forgiveness and hope.

[@urbana11229]

you're probably right in the sense that some people need a release, you can't just rely on people downloading it from Amazon or similar,

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

wouldnt do well. not enough blacks, gays, hispanics. To much christian faith and or religous outlook. not saying its not what people need. but sadly most now would blow it off. for bs.........

3 years ago,I went ‘Field of Dreams Movie Site’. It was moment of my dream came true.

[@shahrunullah1463]

Best film

[@FussellFilms23]

I loved the film Field Of Dreams. One day I was walking past an astrology shop in London England and there was a box of books outside that said Free please take one, I was drawn to a Blue white and yellow cover that turn out to be Field Of Dreams Shoeless Joe. So I took the book and read it. One thing that made me laugh was this copy of Field Of Dreams had been stolen from a prison library, also as soon as I finish reading the book I lost it and I like to think this book had a mission to inspire people. Prison walls could not keep this book in and after it had inspired me it needed to find someone else to inspire! I am working on my last project for my foundation year at Falmouth University Cornwall doing a BA in film and I found this another field of dreams moment.
