Field of Dreams

I've not seen this film (the title of the post) since I was about 13 years old. I remember at the time not being particularly interested in it, but going along with the suggestion of watching it, only to be completely charmed by it. I watched this film again last night (and very timely it was too). It's absolutely fantastic, completely magical and profoundly spiritual. It's about chasing ghosts or mystical messages in a way that is both exciting and intensely frustrating, whilst at the same time not fully realising all that's been achieved, or how far you've come in this pursuit already. It also speaks of Heaven being this place and the completion of dreams, it talks of faith, of sacrifice of material wealth, of family and finally, of the deep spirituality of sport.

If you've not seen it: get hold of it. If it's been a while since you've watched it: revisit it!
