If you didn't cry at the end of "Field of Dreams," you have no heart
What IS it about that movie?

Every time I joke about how the end breaks me up every time, but when it comes on TV, I end up watching the movie and bawling like a baby at the end.

It isn't even THAT great of a movie - too much hippie idealism, too much "we can do anything with love" type shit.

But it sucks me in every time.

2. Me too. Have you seen this parody? The cameo with Kostner at the end is worth the price of admission

3. Funny
Thing is, I like baseball, but I am no Olbermann-esque Baseball geek, and my dad always tried to get me interested in College Football.

Still, that movie is about more than baseball

6. I cried when...
Annie asked Ray if the big green wall was in Boston.

The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again.
