When I was a kid in the 60’s my dad would come home from work and no matter how tired he was, he wanted to play catch. What I wouldn’t give for a 10 minute catch.

The guy acting as his father was my roommate when I was in college. His ex-girlfriend was my girlfriend at the time, while he was trying to make it in the movie business. He was struggling and so broke he had to live in his car, so we invited him in. A year later he got hired for this and we were so proud to watch it in the theatre.

1. Ray almost calls him his father, 2. John says, "I could have sworn it was heaven", he knows there's something unusual here. My favorite movie, I've seen it 70 times. My Dad died in '87, and I was lucky to squeeze every ounce of love from our relationship, but I didn't cry a lot at the funeral or thereafter. In '89 my wife and I were on one of our first dates when she took me; she had to carry me out of the theater. This movie really helped me express my grief for my father's loss.

Funny you should say that. I had a great relationship with my father and baseball was a big part of it. I really didn't cry when he died. About two or three days later, I saw this movie for the time. Despite being a huge baseball fan, I never saw it before. I thought it was too sappy. Seeing it right after my dad's passing, though, it seemed like destiny. I cried a lot. It was almost as if he was talking to me.

Just a phenomenal scene. I’ve seen Costner interviewed many times and he always tells how they didn’t really know where the film was heading while they were creating it. No fights, no love scenes, no action and it suddenly hit them that they weren’t making a simple ‘baseball’ movie or a whimsical tale of a farmer building a field….what they’d stumbled upon was about the relationship between fathers and sons and everything - the good, the bad and crucially, the things unsaid - and what we’d do differently if we had a second chance. No film, before or since, has captured that as perfectly as this. When people look back on Costners career in years to come, they’ll be citing Dances with Wolves, The Untouchables, JFK but for me….as great as those films are, it could be the last five minutes of Field of Dreams that captures him best. A classic and the kind of film that wouldn’t get made now. That in itself, makes it a genuine treasure.

He passed in 2013. This scene has never struck me like this before, until now. If you have a Dad, call him, tell him you love him. God knows I wish I could right now.

Yes, it’s one of the greatest ever. All of the themes and nuances and emotions. Agree 100%. Its a super special movie for me and for my family as well. I do think one often overlooked aspect here is Amy Madigan. The scene is just different if she weren’t there. She is so subtle and brilliant here. Annie has been the fighter and go getter and feisty one in their life but she is so much more. She can be in your face like the school board meeting or so subtle you don’t even realize everything she’s doing until she’s done it and you are better for it. She is the one who helps when he doesn’t know what to say. She follows his lead when he does introduce Karen because he needs to feel his way. She is attending to Karen to make sure she is ok and loved in the midst of this majestic and surreal moment between John and Ray. She gives them the space to be together and heal, even though she was probably bursting to be there every minute, and is still supporting and caring even from the porch. The face she makes when she flips on the lights! Annie loves her husband and had the bravery to go along with him and supported him doing this wild crazy sounding adventure even when she didn’t understand it or was scared. She helped make this field and this moment possible also, just in different ways. I’ve watched this movie so many times and always pick up one more thing.

I lost my Dad 8 years ago. This movie really hits how painful that loss can be. It's the little things. May be stupid but his death hit me when I bought a new car and couldn't take it to show him. I realized at that time that I had always shown him every new car I'd purchased over the years. Here I was a 57 year old man crying my eyes out. You always miss them!

My father was alive when I saw this film, and for 16 years after. We played catch, with baseballs and footballs, for much of our youth. I don’t think of any unresolved issues, so to speak, but the scene broke me up then and does now. Because now, after him being gone now 16 years, I’d still love to see him again, and that won’t change.

even though its made in the 80's, the message of forgiveness and regret (Ray resenting his dad and not having him see his wedding) works in any time period.

"Having a catch" is a rite of passage, personal growth, seminal experience, and endless source of joy for those who share its simple expression. Several generations have grown without it in America. A great sorrow for them.

This film is all about one word...redemption....I loathed my father...he was a boxer in his youth hbefore I was born and very successful..all I saw was an old man...and we fought and argued very day until he died....this film cut me to pieces because I realised that the message was universal.......it says what we all think...'if we could build it he would come back to us as we would want'...it is the greatest man flick ever and those that think not are simply in denial

Field of dreams has been my favorite movie since I saw it the first time. Then something happened. I bought it and my Dad and I had the chance to watch it together and he was moved to the tears just like me every time I watch it. I lost my dad 5 months ago, and this movie and this scene will have a very special meaning for me, for the rest of my life... "Hey! Dad?... Do you want to have a catch..." my heart will have to wait till I have the chance to be with him again...Thank you for posting...

This scene tears me up every single time I watch it. My dad was worn down by life. He was born in 1914. He was 48 when o was born. He fought with patton in WW2. Worked in the coal mines. Then in Michigan, he worked as a construction worker for Harlan electric co. By the time i was 12 he was 60. He lived a hard life. We grew up in Detroit and that alone was tough row to hoe. It was head for my dad to do things with my brother and me. I only got to play catch with my dad a couple of times. I have only seen pictures of my dad in his younger days. He was much like the character in the film, trim young and full of life. I lost my dad when i turned 20. By then he had health issues and my brother put a lot of strain on him. I never gave much thought of my dad passing and he was never in the hospital. So when he got sick and i visited him, we got into an argument about him being sick and i said its time to get up and get better and go home. My mom was 25 when they met and then got married and were together for 28 years. He passed two days later. I never got to sit down with my dad and have that heart to heart talk like most guys got too. Sure me and my dad talked and he told me alot of things. I miss that man so much. He passed in 81. He gave me everything i needed and half of what I wanted and thats fine with me. But this scene causes me to have a lump in my throat like a jagged rock. I have always said if god could grant me one wish, it would be to sit down and have a beer and a ling talk with him. He was a good man. And a great Dad.

Everyone in this movie got the opportunity to experience their dream after they lost their chance to experience it. Shoeless Joe and the White Sox players got to play games with Major League ballplayers again. Terrence Mann got inspired to write again and to see Ebbets Field and meet his heroes. Moonlight Graham got a chance to bat against Major League pitching. John Kinsella got a chance to play with and against Major Leaguers. and Ray Kinsella got a chance to have a moment with his dad again.

Has there been a bigger fantasy movie which connects so strongly with its audience? i dont know. the ending of this movie is pure magic - the dialogue, the background music, the acting - it is nice to see a lot of people who openly admit to tearing up when Costner asks his dad if they can play catch. Along with Bull Durham Kevin Costner has been in probably the two best sports/baseball movies of all time. I heart baseball !

In my opinion, the greatest scene and greatest line in any movie ever. This combines my undying love of baseball with my undying love for my father who had me late in his life. Any son really feels the way Ray feels when he finally asks his dad for a catch, after denying him that so long ago in his life.

As a young boy, I remember my Father coming home from working hard all day. Dad worked two jobs to support his family. There would be many times I would be in bed asleep when he got home. The following day he would leave early for another start to his day. There were times though where he would make it home in the afternoon and had off from his second job. I loved Baseball as he did too. I asked him the very same thing…. To have a catch with me. He never denied me as tired as he was. I will never forget those times of my youth. The love a Father gives his son. This scene puts tears in my eyes and warmth in my heart. Thank You Dad, for telling and showing me that if you believe in yourself, Dreams come true. I love and miss you. Your Loving Son…..
