Review of Field of Dreams (1989) by Anna C — 11 Sep 2010

There are so many truly great baseball films out there but I will go to the mat with anyone who states that this is not as great as any other ever made or that ever will be made. It is simply magical and it moves me and inspires me in a way that you might think only an American kid who has ever loved baseball can understand, but I think its probably got universal appeal.

It is the spirit of American baseball defined - it is magic, nostalgia, dreams, history, and an unswerving faith in the profound meaning of a silly game played for fun.
