Everytime I see this movie, I have quite a laugh when James Earl Jones grabs his insect sprayer and begins to spray Kevin |

I don't think my memory is as sharp as yours, Ted, but that sounds about right. A great scene from a great movie. |

On my visit (during my honeymoon 9 years ago) I was surprised to discover that ownership of the actual field was split between two neighboring farms. The owner of Left and Center field had actually replanted corn after the movie shoot was done and the owner of the rest of the field left it as it was. Only after getting many complaints for replanting the corn, did the owner of left and center field plow the corn again and leave it as it is today. Of course, this gave the owner of the rest of the field a marketing edge as he was authentic to the movie. Now, there are two competing gift-shops on either side of the field; one for "the field of dreams" and one for "the left and center field of dreams." |

James Earl Jones was in a great 1970's baseball movie called "Bingo Long's Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings"- a must see for any fan of the Negro Leagues. Billy Dee Williams played a pitcher loosely based on Satchell Paige and James Earl Jones a catcher based on Josh Gibson. A great movie! |

The Natural, Bull Durham and For Love of the Game are all excellent baseball movies. |

The Natural is my all time favorite - I got the special edition last year and it's got 15 extra minutes that got cut from the theatrical edition...makes a few things in the movie make sense. The book is also a favorite and vastly different from the movie, Roy Hobbs is a very dark character in Malamud's book. Eight Men Out is a close second and the special edition of that one just came out as well. I haven't gotten it yet though. I love Field of Dreams, but it's a little too fantasy like for me to place it up there with my favorites. |

Eight Men Out did a much better portrayal of Joe Jackson. I like Ray Liotta, but come on now. They could have at least reversed the film to show him batting lefty. They had that technology in Gary Cooper's role. |

I'm probably wrong on this, but every time I watch the scene where young Graham recognizes certain players on the diamond, it sounds to me like he says Smokin' Joe Wood. Anyone else hear this? |

One that never gets mentioned is "Long Gone" starring CSI's William Petersen as Stud Cantrell, some great lines in that one. |
