Widely regarded as a modern populist classic, the film is both a fabulist fable and a celebratory baseball movie that acknowledges scandal within the sport but also the game's transcendent ability to rise above attempts to damage its integrity. [Blu-ray]
That rare thing, a poignant movie which manages to drain the tear ducts without ever resorting to cheap manipulation or clichéd sentiment.
The life-equals-baseball masterpiece still packs an unexpected kick.
Top CriticA rare choke-up movie for guys and one of 1989's biggest hits.
Field of Dreams sustains a dreamy mood in which the idea of baseball is distilled to its purest essence: a game that stands for unsullied innocence in a cruel, imperfect world.
Top CriticThe conception is sentimental, but the storytelling remains assured and effective.
Top CriticPure magic.

Whether you view it as Capracorn or Capraesque would depend on your values, but there's no denying the film evokes the vastness and grandeur of Middle-America
The best baseball film of all time.
A movie for a thorough tear-duct cleansing - the only film that makes tears stream down the cheeks of this hardened critic, and it gets me at least twice every time.

Anyone who loves their father or baseball -- or both -- will find it difficult -- no, impossible -- to resist this hokey, wonderful film.
Say what you want about Kevin Costner, but you can’t say he never played Jesus Christ.

This week at the movies, we've got wacky cops ("Reno 911!: Miami"), numerological tension ("The Number 23," starring Jim Carrey), a rocket man ("The Astronaut Farmer,"...
