I love almost any John Hughes movie. The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, all that. Hmmm… other movies…
Dead Poets’ Society
The Shining
4 Weddings and a Funeral
Jacob’s Ladder
Rush
The Fisher King
Lone Star
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
There are many others, I’m sure
Harvey - James Stewart, “He’s a pooka, you know.”
The Wizard of Oz - “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas any more.”
The Manchurian Candidate - “Why don’t you play a little solitaire?” (The movie was better than the book, I think. Put me right off hydrangeas.)

Not to be negative, but what was so great about Field of Dreams? Tried to get into it, but it left me cold. Wait, no, don’t try to explain. You either get it or you don’t. I don’t.
To answer your question, TennHippie…I have no idea. I’m not a big fan of baseball movies; I wasn’t expecting to like Field of Dreams; I did not see it in a theater; when we rented it, we got Field of Dreams and a movie I chose, which I don’t even remember…and somehow…I ended up liking Field of Dreams…
