About the film: “If you build it, he will come.” With these words, Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) is inspired by a voice he can’t ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Supported by his wife Annie (Amy Madigan), Ray begins the quest by turning his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams can come true. Along the way he meets reclusive activist Terence Mann (James Earl Jones), the mysterious “Doc” Graham (Burt Lancaster) and even the legendary “Shoeless Joe” Jackson (Ray Liotta). A heartwarming experience that has moved critics and audiences like no other film of this generation, Field of Dreams is a glowing tribute to all who dare to dream. This special two-day event includes exclusive insight from Turner Classic Movies.

I think the cast is so fantastic in this film. I remember seeing it for the first tome at the Capri theater in Des Moines Iowa in the summer of 1989.
I think it has that magic to it plus the heart warming ending too.
Hope I win! I would love to take my son to see this one!
This is the quintessential movie regarding relationships between a father and son. The fact that it deals with baseball is secondary. I want to take my father to this film, although we have seen it on the small screen. We’ve never seen it together the way it needs to be seen, and with my brother. It’s literally a perfect movie, and one to be seen with one’s father.

I want to go see field of dreams because, it’s one of my favorite baseball movies, and it’s also the last movie burt Lancaster ever made.
Love this movie
What makes “Field of Dreams” a classic is because of how it reveals the magic of baseball to audiences thru this beautiful story. The acting of Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan, James Earl Jones, Burt Lancaster and Ray Liotta add to the magic of this movie.

what makes “Field of Dreams” a classic? The visuals are stunning with the fields and the cast is amazing-Kevin, James, Ray, . It is a feel good movie, when the ‘older’ players
and Costner’s family actually really ‘see’ the players and converse with them.
“Build it and they will come” is,
James Earl Jones’s narrative.
Kevin Costner appeared in 3 Baseball Films, this one, Bull Durham, & For the Love of the Game. This movie truly captures the Love of America’s pastime.
I would so Love to see this film on the Big Screen.
I am a huge baseball fan and Kevin Costner Fan.
It’s a modern classic.
It touches on our sense of wonder and magic, and reminds us that dreams can come true. Kevin Costner is so likeable and believable – even when it seems preposterous, you simply have to root for him. And… baseball!
One of the times where I feel the movie exceeds the book. It’s a story filled with regret, hope, and ultimately redemption. Field of dreams blurs the line between fantasy & reality yet the viewer never stops hoping to achieve the fantasy. A top notch cast delivers on a top notch script, you can’t ask for much more.
I don’t think I have ever seen it but I know it a classic film and I am a fan of Kevin Costner. It looks like a great film and I would love a chance to see it on the big screen.
“Classic” means of the highest quality of its kind, has lasting worth with a timeless quality. Definitely worth remembering and seeing numerous times throughout life. Sounds corny, but “Field of Dreams” makes me proud to be an American who will never stop dreaming.
For the magic.
“When did all these baseball players get here?”
On the big screen: for Iowa. For the road trip to Iowa.
“They’ll come to Iowa for reasons they can’t even fathom.”
Fathers and sons, nostalgia, and baseball make this a classic! It’s one of my favorite movies but I have never seen it on the big screen so I would love to!
It’s the greatest baseball film ever made and gave us a great film farewell from the legendary Burt Lancaster. Baseball is America’s sport and this film reminds us why it’s always been. That’s a true “classic”.
Hi Abe, I emailed you last week (and again today) regarding your tickets. Please get back to me today (June 9). If you didn’t receive the email, let me know… Thanks!
Field of Dreams is a classic because of its expert blend of fantasy and drama. The score by the late James Horner is magical, and James Earl Jones’ speech towards the end of the film is towering.
I haven’t seen this movie yet, but thought it would be a great date night for my husband and I. Of course I’ve heard people recite lines from it over and over so it must be a good film.

Field of Dreams is a classic because it has staying power. I want to see it on the big screen because I’ve only seen it once, and it has stayed with me all these years later. What a treat it would be to see it again on the big screen!
It’s my Husband’s favorite movie, even though he watches it constantly I’ve never actually watched it beginning to end.. So I would love to give him this awesome gift and see the whole thing for the first time on the big screen!!!
Thank you!!
I loved baseball as a kid and this movie is a reminder of why. It is sweet and nostalgic. Its iconic. The whole “if you build it he will come” line is a part of our culture. I can’t pass a corn field without looking to see if Shoeless Joe is hiding in there somewhere.
What makes “Field of Dreams” a classic? When I read that it would be featured as a TCM Big Screen Classic I knew it would be a perfect fit. “Field of Dreams” has a Golden Age, classic film feel to it, breathtaking cinematography, a wonderful story, unforgettable music and an impeccable, “big star” cast, that would have fit right in at any of the successful studios that made pictures during Hollywood’s Golden Age. What a treat to be able to see Burt Lancaster, a classic star from the 40’s and 50’s, work with James Earl Jones, who bridged the studio system era, and Kevin Costner, a true “modern era” Hollywood star. The film’s story is, at once, a “slice of life” story, a fairy tail and a quest to answer the “why’s” of each person’s life journey. “Field of Dreams” teaches us that, if not for the roads we travel, and the people we meet and touch in our lifetime, the world would be a much less kind and glorious place.
“Field of Dreams” is a classic, because it’s a timeless and poignant family film about pursuing your dreams, coming to grips with your family’s past, and the quintessential summer passion of baseball. I’d love to see it on the big screen, as I only once saw it on VHS in the year after its release.
