I usually like sports movies but for whatever reason I just was never too keen on that movie.

I don't think it is a bad movie at all, just never got me for some reason.

It's not a sports movie.

It's about regrets and getting a second chance, by believing that you can make it happen.

This is one movie that just gets better each time you watch it.

anything that deals with hockey, football, baseball, basketball or other sports...is a sports movie to me.

I realize they are not really about the sport but about other things but I classify them as sports movies.:cool:

I have been there- it was about 6 years ago. I don't know if they still maintain it. Looked real interesting- you have to go there during the summer so that the corn is just like the Movie.
I have only liked Costner in 3 movies: THis one, Untouchables and For Love of the Game. Dancing with Wolves- meh. And pretty much all the rest of them stink as far as I am concerned.

I grew up in a baseball family.

I had catches with my dad all the time. It was just something special to do as a kid. I now over the years routinely have catches with my sons.

It's the norm for me or my sons to say "lets have a catch"

When his old man comes back in the movie and they have that catch I cry like a baby. It's a tradition that might not all have but it's a killer moment to any father/son that had that tradition.

To me it's a very inspirational movie.

That's the way I am...

It's not a film about correcting your past... it's a film about spending time with your dad...

Really...must have been filler for them to talk about how he refused to have a catch with his dad and told him Shoeless Joe was a cheater...Must have imagined him telling Terry Mann he regretted it?

That Terry got another chance to write about baseball after lying to Ray about the article Ray found about baseball, was just so he could joke about him using his finger for a gun?

That whole Doc coming back because he never got to bat in the majors and how he wondered how his life would be different had he not given up baseball must have been just to make the movie longer before dad took off the catcher's mask?

The movie was about fixing things from the past...you know building a field for the banned Black Sox to play again.;)

The human aspect of a father having a catch with his son was lost on you.
