Field of Dreams

It's the perfect movie. It reminds you why baseball is such a great sport, why James Earl Jones has such an awesome voice, and why you watch movies. It allows you to dream and encourages you to be passionate. From the unflinchingly and maddeningly idealistic Ray, to the sarcastic, unwavering and ever supportive Annie, to the heart melting cute Karen, to the grandfatherly humorous and selfless Moonlight Graham, and the overbearing, obnoxious brother Mark who finally sees the light, Field of Dreams wins at every turn. It restores your faith in humanity. It gives you permission to dream the insane and pursue whatever makes your heart do things it rarely does. And while it will never crack my top two, it has likely cemented itself as the forever number three. Oh, people will come Ray, people will most definitely come.
