On ITV this afternoon; it may be because I love baseball (Gambo shares the same feelings about the sport and the movie) but it's in my all time top ten;

If you build it, they will come.

So true.

well JK i doubt I'd never call Field of Dreams one of the best films ever made but anything with Kevin Costner in it gets my vote. I think he's a wonderful actor.

I saw it years ago and it didn't really grab me but then I'm not into baseball. Isn't Gambo a Yank?

Plus there are all those other superb American actors-James Earl Grey, Ray Liotta and one I always liked-Burt Lancaster.

I have a friend who was the producer of all the Mad Max films and Lancaster was his hero.

When he was in Cannes trying to flog the Mad Max films which he found incredibly difficult and they only became successful via countries like Germany, Holland and such-he encountered Burt Lancaster in a Cannes Restaurant.

Desperate to go and pay homage he stood up but just at that moment, Burt Lanacaster also stood up , leaned over and slapped his young male dinner companion in the face screaming-"you ungrateful bitch"!.

Always nice to know everyone is just the same in the end!

I love the movie to JK had it on DVD but I think I sold it or lost it some where. I am not a fan of US sports Cobb is also a great biopic of Ty Cobb which is worth viewing.

I can't tell you how much I love this film; of course I'm always in floods of tears at the end.

It's really not about sport at all.
It's about relationships and dreams and lost youth and parents; I'm crying now.

Wow...if you are in tears I guess it's time I watched it again-it must be at least 5 years since I watched it.

It's now on my list of DVDs for Monday's hiring !

So what other films have moved people to tears?

I'm trying to think now when I teared up on watching a movie.




Incidently-I'm now settling down to watch Emma Bee's favourite Superman 2 movie.

(it's either that or watch a retrospecive of Michael Jackson's life which I saw 3 days ago amd realised-what a complex and brilliant talent he really was..and where are all those supposed child abuse victims ?..not one has come forward..honestly I hate ever being involved in the media sometimes)
