If you want another young Kevin Costner sports movie, try American Flyers (1985). It's about bicycle racing through the Rockies.

2024-06-21 04:10:23 +0000 UTCI'll bet you didn't know, Carly or Cassie, being Canadians and all, that the person who wrote the book, 'Shoeless Joe' by W.P. Kinsella, was Canadian, born in Edmonton. And the Terence Mann character was based legendary author of 'The Catcher in the Rye' J.D. Salinger. In the book, Ray Kinsella seeks out Salinger, Salinger threatened to sue if his name and likeness were used in any other medium, so the character was changed to a black man named Terence Mann, played by James Earl Jones.

2024-03-17 00:26:41 +0000 UTCI love this reaction and thank you both for it. I saw this in the theater when I was 22. I never thought about the mortgage or money aspect. I only thought about what I would give for a few more moments with my dad. I get what you’re saying but I would give more now.

2024-02-22 10:12:27 +0000 UTCEveryone did get what was destined, Shoeless Joe, Archie Graham, Terry Mann, but mostly Ray Consella, because his amends with hid Dad were realized. And we got what we needed from this film, a re-experiencing with two who felt the destiny as much as we do. Thank you Cassie and Carly for a great reaction!

2024-01-08 02:36:12 +0000 UTCHey Cassie, I just rewatched your Field of Dreams reaction and at the end you were asking about James Earl Jones’ character and if he died because he went into the cornfield with all the other players. His character was a writer and I believe his “purpose” was to write about what was out there. At one point he said something like imagine the story this will make and Kevin Costner’s character tells him the he wants a full description. I like to think that the farm was saved because all the people came at the end and James Earl Jones’ character came back and wrote about it which reinvigorated his writing career because he hadn’t written in years. I’m not sure if you remember, but there was a scene with Kevin Costner and the actress playing his wife at a school meeting because some people thought the books he had written about the sixties was smut and she got into an argument with another lady.

2022-11-25 23:27:13 +0000 UTCRest in Peace Ray Liota/Shoeless Joe. My favorite movie that he was in..
Andrew Rose
2022-05-29 08:57:08 +0000 UTCWow wow wow, what a film. I was convinced I'd seen this, but honestly now I don't think I had all the way through. Surely I wouldn't have forgotten so much of this. Costner is captivating. I liked him in Tin Cup among many many other films.
Daryl
2022-01-10 22:24:13 +0000 UTCI believe that is Cosner's arm in the mortuary. The Big Chill is one of my all-time favorites. Of course I live near the UM campus so that might help. I hated Jeff Goldblum for the longest time when I heard him call the UM helmets the ugliest in football, lol.
softshoes
2021-12-30 21:19:53 +0000 UTCmy favorite Costner movies .. Open Range , Waterworld ,Dances With Wolves , Wyatt Earp ,the Postman , Bull Durham ,
Mike Lipke
2021-12-29 17:42:09 +0000 UTCgreat movie and the baseball field still exists . in fact MLB played a game this past season on this field in Iowa
Mike Lipke
2021-12-29 17:14:38 +0000 UTCYay! Great reaction! I love when Carly joins you! You guys together are the best! I haven't seen this in forever and it definitely made me ugly cry. I am *really* glad no one was here because I was a mess :D Thank you! This was a lot of fun revisting this!
MattN
2021-12-29 06:59:38 +0000 UTCI’m so glad you got to experience this movie. It has such a great message, and I think it makes you a better person by watching. I’m so surprised you didn’t tear up at the end, I always get emotional as soon as Terrance gets invited in anticipation of the ending. In recent years this film has made me cherish more time with my own father (this is his favourite movie) and I think it’ll only get more meaningful down the line. Thanks for finally sitting down and watching. This is a special one!
Biggman83
2021-12-28 21:25:11 +0000 UTCI will. Every damn time I watch this movie.
Sean Novack
2021-12-28 06:15:09 +0000 UTCOn June 29, 2005, 100 years after “Moonlight” Graham played in his only major league game, the Minnesota Twins held “Doc Graham Night”. During the game they played clips of Field of Dreams and passed out Doc Graham baseball cards to the fans. A fitting tribute to a life deserving of remembrance.
Sean Novack
2021-12-28 06:14:43 +0000 UTCThis one is one of my favorite films of all time, sports or no
Sean Novack
2021-12-28 06:11:17 +0000 UTCYep! I was going to bring this one up as a hockey fan that watched the Olympics that year as a 9 year-old boy. What they did with that film was amazing.
Sean Novack
2021-12-28 06:10:30 +0000 UTCGood one!
Sean Novack
2021-12-28 06:02:08 +0000 UTCI've been a Twins fan since 1976 when my grandfather brought me to a game at Metropolitan Stadium (which was where they played before Target Field and the Metrodome). 1991 was truly the best World Series of all time. By the end of the 9th inning of Game 7 I would have been satisfied (not HAPPY, but satisfied) with having been privileged to have watched every minute of every game. Morris got in to the Hall on the strength of that 10 inning performance. We may have won that one, but you guys were good for a long time after. We haven't even been there since. Congrats on last year! If you haven't seen "For The Love Of The Game" I highly recommend it.
Sean Novack
2021-12-28 05:59:36 +0000 UTCSuch a heartwarming movie. This is almost a "chick flick for guys " Many a man has teared up at the scene where they play catch at the end. Of course, no guy would ever admit it 😁
Raj K. Dixit
2021-12-28 01:06:49 +0000 UTCTerence didn’t die. He would have came back when the players came back with a renewed passion for writing (which is the reason he was called to be involved in the whole thing) and watched the game with all those people and wrote a book about it.
Trembling Colors
2021-12-27 02:08:23 +0000 UTCThe wife in this was also the tough chick McCoy from Streets of Fire
Trembling Colors
2021-12-27 00:31:32 +0000 UTCThe first time I saw this movie. It never occurred to me that Terrence might be dead, Ray told him that he wanted a full description, so I always thought Terrence came back and wrote about it.
Tara
2021-12-26 06:39:51 +0000 UTCCassie, I know you like underdog sports movies. So you must watch Rudy if you haven’t already seen it. As for Kevin Costner, I really like Robin Hood: prince of thieves co-starring Morgan Freeman and Dances with wolves… until next time…🍿
Tara
2021-12-26 06:37:51 +0000 UTCMy favorite part of the reaction was after the movie was over. Cassie wondering specific questions and Carly saying Everything worked out....Who knows.....They see what they need to see. Very interesting to see even as sisters they interpret movies in different ways. Cassie needs answers and Carly is more just go with it.
Doug R
2021-12-25 16:17:32 +0000 UTCFun facts: Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were extras in the Fenway Park scene. Jimmy Stewart was the first choice to play Moonlight Graham.

2021-12-25 01:55:14 +0000 UTCin Iowa. "Oh but he was never in Iowa." No but his ghost was. "Ah I see what you did there."
Mannygogou
2021-12-24 16:20:49 +0000 UTCI'm glad you two got to like Kevin Costner on your own. He's done a lot of good movies - already mentioned but hey, Bull Durham, Open Range... The Postman, Waterworld, haha yes, those too. The Bodyguard I haven't seen yet, I'll see it if you will. (But I did see a video of him attending the funeral, no spoilers). Interestingly he was supposed to be in The Big Chill but he was never onscreen. Silverado I think was kind-of a rebooting of the western movie. I like 'em all.
Mannygogou
2021-12-24 16:16:25 +0000 UTC"Hey dad, want to have a catch?"
Mannygogou
2021-12-24 16:07:38 +0000 UTCAh I just finished watching the full reaction. Very cool. It's great to see the whole thing. I used to ask was Terence dead all along, I never really did need the answer though. This time I watched as the van turned around and he was on the street in the headlights, it's possible the real Terence went back into his place and this was his ghost that went with Ray, that's why he did not need to pack a bag. It's not really important when he crossed over, especially if time overlaps. You could say there was a time Terence lived quietly in happy anonymity and there was also a time when he regained his voice and started writing again.
Mannygogou
2021-12-24 15:53:48 +0000 UTCI think at the time in Iowa, there were bumper stickers that said "Is This Heaven? ... It's IOWA!!"
3dbadboy1
2021-12-24 10:04:11 +0000 UTC" hi I'm Ray Kinsella...and I see dead people."... Carly. I'm sorry but I need Carly in all your videos from now on. Tell her to free her schedule up.
nick bell
2021-12-24 09:56:26 +0000 UTCA sports film that would be perfect for you Cassie is called The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock, you will absolutely love it
Simon Chalkley
2021-12-24 08:49:22 +0000 UTCGo watch The Natural (baseball movie) with Robert Redford and Kim Basinger and Glenn Close.
3dbadboy1
2021-12-24 08:20:21 +0000 UTCI think Amy Madigan and Holly Hunter are the same person.

2021-12-24 07:45:16 +0000 UTCYellowstone. Kevin Costner
TinCan Cosmanaut
2021-12-24 06:34:32 +0000 UTCAnother movie I've been meaning to watch for years. Glad it's with some company. That being said, Cassie I think you should think ahead and go buy a warehouse for your gifted blankets lol
Sahitya
2021-12-24 04:37:07 +0000 UTCKevin Costner/Baseball you need to see For Love of the Game next.
Robert Snyder
2021-12-24 03:18:52 +0000 UTCFor a really great sports movie I suggest Miracle with Kurt Russell. Other Kevin Costner movies you should watch are no Way out, the guardian, open range and hidden figures.
Michael Lynch
2021-12-24 02:10:18 +0000 UTCHey C & C. I KNEW you were gonna love this one. Kevin Costner has played in a bunch of movies you might recognize him from...possibly "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves". Cassie, if you are looking for more Kevin Costner and more sports film, you might wanna check out "Bull Durham" it stars Kevin and it IS about baseball. :) My personal favourite Costner films include "The Postman", "Waterworld" and "Man of Steel" (although he only has a small role as Clark Kent's earth father.
Chris Reise
2021-12-24 01:27:51 +0000 UTCFun fact Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are extras in the Fenway park scene as young teenage boys.
Alex Gorell
2021-12-23 22:57:47 +0000 UTCStrikeouts are boring, besides that, they're fascist. Throw some groundballs. It's more democratic. Cracks me up every time.
Art of Free Speech
2021-12-23 22:38:04 +0000 UTCFor Love Of The Game is one of my favorite sports movies!
Patrick Egan
2021-12-23 21:35:59 +0000 UTCI haven't seen anybody else mention it but For Love of the Game is my second favorite movie in this genre and it does have Kevin Costner in it. I definitely think you should check that one out. It's another sports movie but not really a sports movie. It's really more about a love story 😉. Ok, post editing.. someone did mention it!
Jerry Huffman
2021-12-23 20:28:49 +0000 UTCIf you don't officially put Bull Durham on your to watch list after this, it's a crime against humanity. :) Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Great reaction as always.
Brian Jones
2021-12-23 20:01:59 +0000 UTCSurprised They didn’t mention James Earl Jones being in the Hunt for red October.
Steven Ashford
2021-12-23 20:00:52 +0000 UTCI still remember the first day my Dad taught me to catch a baseball like it was yesterday. That was 41 years ago!
Steven Ashford
2021-12-23 19:23:58 +0000 UTCYES YES YES!
Jen Barnes
2021-12-23 19:23:46 +0000 UTCThere are tons of fantastic Kevin Costner movies mentioned here, I'll throw in my favorites: Open Range, Bull Durham, The Untouchables, and Silverado. I know Dances With Wolves is already on the schedule.
Jen Barnes
2021-12-23 19:23:33 +0000 UTCBaseball was my sport too, since I couldn't excel at anything else. Baseball is kind of like that. The 'everyman' game.
Jon Johns
2021-12-23 18:53:23 +0000 UTCYeah, for Cassie, Bull Durham also stars Tim Robbins, the star of Shawshank, in a humorous role.
Jon Johns
2021-12-23 18:52:25 +0000 UTCThe field of dreams from the movie is in Dyersville Iowa where the movie takes place and has the original ball diamond still there. They also built a MLB sized diamond and had an MLB game between the Yankees and the white sox in august of this year it's going to be a yearly game now from the sound of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_of_Dreams_(Dubuque_County,_Iowa)
Logan Worrall
2021-12-23 18:11:38 +0000 UTCPlease include the Movie "OPEN RANGE" with Kevin Costner in your upcoming WESTERN POLL, Great reaction here
Joe Aschenbrener
2021-12-23 17:57:34 +0000 UTC"Tin Cup"?
Matt Blanchette
2021-12-23 17:52:07 +0000 UTCIt kind of amazed me neither Cassie nor Carley shed a tear during this film. Is it more emotional for guys, maybe? This movie makes me bawl every time during those last 15 minutes.
Art of Free Speech
2021-12-23 17:50:58 +0000 UTCI don't know about what you mentioned, but I do know it's been a tourist spot for years now. Also, MLB played a game there this year on Aug 12th. It was a big deal, NY Yankees vs. Chicago White Sox. It was a huge success, that MLB is doing another game there in 2022. The Chicago Cubs vs. Cincinnati Reds on August 11, 2022. It's already sold out. Tickets went on sale starting at $1,999 to $6,812 for one ticket. You can get it from a reseller though. Problem is tickets start at $4,157 up to $14,000+ for one ticket.
Che Guevarra
2021-12-23 17:43:50 +0000 UTCAs I mentioned before, this is my favorite sports movie. And yeah, in a way it is about baseball, because in this movie baseball is the vehicle to visualize and realize dreams. There is just so much good stuff in this movie. The score is amazing - I am a sucker for french horns anyway. Plus two of the greatest road songs ever - Jessica by the Allman Brothers and China Grove by the Doobie Brothers. The cast is amazing - they all played their parts to the hilt. Amy's fieriness and compassion and wonder, Kevin doing his thing, James delivering lines like NO ONE EVER. Gabby just being adorable and cute and the bringer of news. Burt in one of his last roles delivering the Doctor role. Timothy being the overbearing brother. Just so, so so good. And! You two are amazing. Thank you for bringing this journey for us. I think I cried more than you two did, but I loved the reaction. Kevin Costner movies: Many people know about this movie, as well as Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Dances with Wolves. But if there was a next Kevin Costner movie that I would love to see your reaction on, it would be The Untouchables which has yet another amazing cast.
Damon Corrigan
2021-12-23 17:25:40 +0000 UTCThe Guardian isn’t bad, I really enjoyed Mr. Brooks, it was an interesting departure.
Andrew Hogan
2021-12-23 16:06:35 +0000 UTCI forgot Bull Durham also, a baseball movie and Kevin Costner.
Andrew Hogan
2021-12-23 16:02:06 +0000 UTCThis is a love letter from every boy to his father. For any kid who played catch with his dad, we all wish we had this opportunity. Definitely one of my top movies, I only watch it on special occasions. Fun fact, they actually built a field out in Iowa on the very location this film took place. The Yankees played the White Sox and they will play games there on occasion. You can probably find some of the footage on YouTube. For The Love Of The Game and Tin Cup (bracket contender) are fun movies with Costner. Dances With Wolves, Bodyguard, Robin Hood all young Costner and you’ll be head over heels for him.
Andrew Hogan
2021-12-23 15:58:10 +0000 UTCIf you are interested in more sports films the one I would recommend would be a league of their own. It’s about the women’s baseball league during the Second World War. It may not have Kevin Costner in it but it dose have Tom Hanks
Simon Chalkley
2021-12-23 15:00:56 +0000 UTCYes for all of them and I’ll add 13 Days and JFK.
Andrew Hogan
2021-12-23 14:15:28 +0000 UTCCan’t wait to watch the whole thing. Just wanted to see the intro. Cassie you are so cute, still referred to racing as race caring. You are so much fun. Baseball is my sport. Being vertically challenged it’s the one sport I could play and played well. So glad you and Carly watched this movie. With the craziness of the next few days might be the weekend before I can watch it!
Steven Ashford
2021-12-23 14:05:10 +0000 UTCMLB built a field next to the movie field last year and they played a game there and the players when they were announced walked out of the corn.. They still use the movie field for kids games and you can go visit it just like they said in the movie.. also you should watch Bull Durham. Its another Kevin Costner baseball movie but its a comedy.. def a diff type of movie but funny.. haha https://youtu.be/0hixXndP7t4
Brian Landers
2021-12-23 13:23:02 +0000 UTCThere are so many wonderful Costner movies - Dances with Wolves is most noteworthy - Both the Bull Durham and For the Love of the Game were great baseball-love stories that would be perfect for PiB reactions, but if you really really want to fall in love with Kevin Costner do this... watch the 1992 classic - The Bodyguard - which was the film debut of Whitney Houston and then watch this most revealing/endearing video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JuM2X3Da7k Your heart will then know Mr Costner
Terry Yelmene
2021-12-23 13:19:44 +0000 UTCGuys love this movie, because it give us something none of us have ever experienced, knowing our Dad when he was in his 20's at his peak and just having a catch!
David
2021-12-23 12:59:46 +0000 UTCA lot of people are pretty sure the Voice is Kevin Costner, the idea being that it was Ray's own inner voice, his instinct, telling him what to do, but they wanted the audience to work that out for themselves, so they didn't put it in the credits.
Brian Harris
2021-12-23 12:29:32 +0000 UTCKevin Costner actually is a baseball player. He played for Cal State Fullerton in college.
3dbadboy1
2021-12-23 12:13:51 +0000 UTCAndrew and a few others have already mentioned some good Costner movies to follow up with but I will add a few that I haven't seen mentioned yet. However, be forewarned that they are not all of him young, they are not all of him being the "good guy" (BG - Bad Guy), and a few you will need some tissues (T). In no particular order... "A Perfect World" (BG & T), "Message in a Bottle" (T), "3000 Miles to Graceland" (BG), "The Guardian" (T), "Mr. Brooks" (Very BG), and "Draft Day" (Sports). He is great in all of these. I know you can't react to them all but I thought I would give you some more food for thought. :) You are Carly were amazing as always. :)
Doug Fisher
2021-12-23 11:55:01 +0000 UTCI'd put Bull Durham as a crush-satisfying Costner watch. No Way Out is great, kind of a mystery / lite action film, he's kinda hot in that one too. Coming up is Dances With Wolves which will make you love Costner, too, but he's only mildly charming in that compared to Bull Durham, where, I believe, Costner turns his charm up to 11.
Jon Johns
2021-12-23 11:50:09 +0000 UTCYou should def give 'No Way Out a watch'. One of my fav Costner movies.
mattosh79
2021-12-23 11:02:17 +0000 UTCKevin Costner became "Mr. Baseball" to audiences after two hit baseball-themed movies in a row (1987's BULL DURHAM followed by this one). He also played a ballplayer in the 1999 film FOR LOVE OF THE GAME. Besides baseball, he also starred in movies about cycling (AMERICAN FLYERS), football (DRAFT DAY), cross country (MCFARLAND, USA) and golf (TIN CUP). Shoeless Joe and the "Black Sox" were all real players. Historians still haven't decided which of them were actually guilty of taking a dive but most seem to lean towards Jackson's innocence, given his fantastic performance during the 1919 World Series. "Moonlight" Graham was also a real person, although they changed the year of his death in the movie. Graham was played Hollywood giant by Burt Lancaster in his last film role. Coincidentally for this channel, the role of Moonlight Graham was first offered to Jimmy Stewart, who was mostly retired by that point due to hearing loss, but who still would have been fantastic I think. In the beginning of the film, when Kevin Costner turns the TV off on his daughter, she's watching the Jimmy Stewart film HARVEY, where he plays a small town eccentric whose best friend is a magical creature no one else can see. Wonder how they picked THAT movie! The field used in this movie was built on a real corn farm in Iowa. It still stands today and is a major tourist attraction (well, for Dubuque, Iowa, anyway). It has its own team (the Ghost Players) and has also hosted exhibition games of major league teams. In the film's end credits, "the Voice" is listed as playing himself. The actor's true identity has never been revealed.
Patrick Flanagan
2021-12-23 10:27:10 +0000 UTCAnd, just in case anyone would like to... see if they *see* anything ;) ... I'll leave this here https://www.fieldofdreamsmoviesite.com/
Sarah
2021-12-23 10:13:44 +0000 UTCI've heard about a recent 'event' concerning this film, some kind of retrospective, or something? Can someone talk more about this? I only heard about it in headlines, and social media, and never latched onto the story. There have also been, I think, some shorts about the field used for the film? Like short documentaries? I like this movie, but only watched it once, and never really 'dug into' it, but now I want to learn more...
Jon Johns
2021-12-23 09:40:17 +0000 UTCThis was a good one. I think Terence Mann is going to write about what’s out there in the outfield, but I don’t think he has to die to do it. For once, “Death” isn’t in the cornfield.
Ike
2021-12-23 09:35:53 +0000 UTCI do not normally watch the full length reactions unless I really love the movie. So far have watched Die Hard and this. I love this movie. The ending really gets me, how he calls after his dad. Watching the full length reaction is like watching it for the first time though Cassie and Carly's eyes. Probably the last one I watch for the year. Looking forward to next year's reactions. Merry Christmas to all. Have a safe and Happy New Year.
Brian McGovern
2021-12-23 09:26:13 +0000 UTCFor the love of the Game is a great movie... also Dances with Wolves, The Bodyguard, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. all fantastic options for Kevin Costner movie list... Even if you only react to one of those, you should totally watch them all. Also Tin Cup, The Untouchables, No Way Out, Silverado, and Bull Durham are good too... so many great movies.
Andrew Rose
2021-12-23 09:13:48 +0000 UTCHope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas!
Eric Denney
2021-12-23 09:10:02 +0000 UTCAnother home run reaction. One of the endings that I know and still get choked up as I remember playing catch with my dad.
Doug R
2021-12-23 08:49:13 +0000 UTCI’m so sorry.
djKENTO
2021-12-23 07:57:06 +0000 UTCAnd now you gotta add For Love of the Game where Costner does play a professional pitcher at the end of his career. It’s also a romantic drama. You’ll LOVE IT.
djKENTO
2021-12-23 07:56:26 +0000 UTCOne of my favorite movies, but this will be a tough one, especially the last 15 minutes. I just lost my dad Nov. 24.....
JRCortez
2021-12-23 07:39:36 +0000 UTCDon't worry about the schedule being wonky. "If you react to it, they will watch."
Greg McDaniel
2021-12-23 07:02:56 +0000 UTCThis is probably my favorite sports movie after the Rocky franchise. As you know Cassie I'm nuts about baseball. Saw the 1990s Braves rise to greatness, went to several games at old Fulton County Stadium and Turner Field, played intramural softball with my dad in high school, and was raised in the small town of Rome Ga, which has the single A minor league Braves team. This movie definitely hits home.
William Bryan
2021-12-23 06:57:54 +0000 UTCMan, I cant wait for some free time. Need to catch up with this and Die Hard.
David RedEagle
2021-12-23 06:49:54 +0000 UTCThis is in my top 10 personal films of all time. I adore this American fairy tale. My grandma bought it for me at McDonalds which used to have $5 movies if you bought a combo meal.
djKENTO
2021-12-23 06:48:48 +0000 UTCIf you watch it, they will come!
