A Catch With Dad - Field of Dreams (9/9) Movie CLIP (1989) HD

[indyracingnut]

I finally took my father to this very same field last year...after throwing the ball around a few times, I just broke down crying because of how pure this moment was, and just like he did when I was a kid, he just gave me a big hug, wiped the tears from my eyes & said "Now I think you understand why I love you so much, son."  Dad passed away two months later. To me, that place is sacred...It IS heaven.

[autographhound2468]

Tears me up everytime.

[nachocomeras]

Awesome movie... this scene makeme cry how crys the mens. With heart.

[TheBlueDevilz]

Greatest. Sports. Movie. Ever. 24 year old man and I can never watch this scene without tearing up.

[chiggero]

Yes, he could have sworn that Iowa was heaven. He needs his eyes checked.

[KingOfKingz819]

this is why i love baseball. nothing brings a father and son together like baseball, whether at the ballpark, or playing catch in the backyard

im forever thankful i got to play catch with my dad recently...and even moreso that he showed me the game of baseball

[bdaulerio7]

@johnsmith4442 Nail on the head right there

[bdaulerio7]

My tears could remedy a drought... He looks JUST like my father AND my dad is a Yankees fan. This scene just isn't fair

[JosephHuntington]

An Open Letter to the Men of America (composed by Almighty God) will be uploaded at my blog tomorrow. Tell the others. Women are not welcome, as it's not appropriate for them.

[johnsmith4442]

i tell you that to any man who grew up without his dad or had an on/off realationship with him this is so painful to watch.

[downcast1000]

this brings back memories of playing catch with my dad. whether it be with a baseball and gloves or even using a football. just the fact we got out there and played catch meant a lot to me. teaching me how to hold and throw the football, to holding and catching the baseball with the glove. even talking with him as we played, hits me. even though we dont play it as much anymore, it makes me happy thinking about it. i love my dad.

[downcast1000]

reminds me of the times me and my father played catch together

[jonahmj]

I lost my Dad when I was nine years old, so this scene has added significance for me. And yes I cry every time I see it. Perfect film, acting, directing, and James Horner's beautiful score. Is this heaven? Yes it is.

[SCE2AUX]

130 people didn't care if they cried or not.

[Kujakuseki01]

Such a well directed scene. Music, acting, lighting, cinematography...all magnificent to create the perfectly emotional package.

[Twelthofaquartar]

This is one of the times it's okay for man to cry

[dstein111]

Guaranteed to make me cry every time. Growing up my dad was busy a lot and the moments i craved having with him were spent having a catch in the backyard.

[itsmejas0n]

I'm 16 and my Dad is 50 He was no baseball player but i still remember when he thought me how to catch and kick a ball. Just watching this makes me so sad inside and how happy i am to have him. My head hurts from watching this a lot....

[TheIceWatkins]

This is the ultimate connection between a father and son. Might be the sport, the weather that comes along with playing baseball, or just the pure enjoyment, but man I'll never forget throwing the ball around with my dad in the yard every chance I got.

[mecwag]

My Dad is 89 years old. Yesterday, we watched Field of Dreams together. When the movie was over, we looked at each other and we both had tears in our eyes. Field of Dreams is my favorite movie of all times. I have seen it almost 100 times and each time, my eyes well up. Another good father-son film is October Sky. The ending is also a sentimental scene with a father-son connection. I highly recommend it. It also is my top 10 movies.

[doobeedoo58]

HMMMMM....the only two scenes were guys do cry at the movie....this scene and the one where old Yeller gets shot (John Candy said so!)

[jvro22]

@doobeedoo58 True, and Backdraft when the two brothers are in the ambulance at the end.

[farasu98]

This is the only exception of men crying.

[Eiger6]

This is one of the most beautiful scenes ever committed to film.

[haroldgar12]

This is the DUNBEST SCENE i have ever seen. Its FUCKIN RETARDED. who the hell cries over this piece of garbage ending. I rather eat dung then watch this shitty scene

[TheDTYPsGames]

@haroldgar12 What. The. HELL is wrong with you?

[sunshinegirl1967]

@haroldgar12 Well what's stopping you? Go eat some dung! Just go!

[jhall024]

Atta boy Ray!!! Everytime it gets to me

[TheMoazeem]

ohhhh here come the waterworks...........

[TheBlackhawk58]

who would dislike this

[tjmacari]

How can you not love this scene? My dad is starting to get older and lives out of state. I always took his presence for granted when I was young. I think I'll give him a call tomorrow. Very touching scene, great music too.

[jlassh]

102 people tried not to cry... but did

[sean2015]

TRIVIA: This was George W. Bush's favorite movie

(source: Wikipedia)

[ahfaxthis]

@sean2015 hummm, we know how reliable WIKIPEDIA is, much his time in office. Regardless, everyone should love this move. From Presidents to Sales Clerks. "how can I help you today"

[sean2015]

@ahfaxthis Well if it's on Wikipedia, it must be true.

Besides, GWB was a big fan of baseball so it would make sense that he enjoyed this movie.

[ladyshep98]

This scene always gets the waterworks going for me, also. So touching even after all of these years.

[Michael93406]

This movie gives hope to everyone who lost a loved one(s) that there is something more after and that it is, what it is supposed to be.

[lster97]

This is my favorite scene of my favorite movie. Reminds me of all the times my Dad would play catch with me when I was little. This is why Field of Dreams is my favorite movie

[lster97]

movieclips ruined this scene by cutting it off at the end with ads for other videos...

[da40flyer1]

This ending almost didn't happen. On the DVD, the director said that in the original script and cut, they never acknowledged the relationship. But the test audiences all screamed that you can't bring all of us on this journey and not have the payoff at the end. Can you imagine how much different that would have been?

[barques95]

I finally visited this site last week to honor my late father who loved this movie. It's just as beautiful in person. No one was there for a catch but I ran the bases! :)

[ahfaxthis]

@barques95 thank you for sharing. Your comments gave me goosebumps. Sorry you lost your Dad.

[SladderBux]

@cathkinghost It's not just you... most men cry when they see this scene... fathers that past away and they miss... it's such a touching scene...

[dons77]

perfect scene really. dam i'm in tears typing this ! the handshake that they don't want to let go, the voices breaking when he asks to play catch and also in his fathers reply, the catch of the ball, the music....



[HueyRocks23]

Someone must be chopping the biggest onions nearby.

[heather78usn]

@gkopacz that is so awesome, not a big celebrity knowing person, but let him know he did well :)

[allstarchris1]

I started crying when costner catches the ball and looks at it to see if its really real that he caught it from his dad. greatest movie ever.

[blueshellsharvey535]

I dont know why my dad doesnt love me

[blueshellsharvey535]

My dad never does anything with me. All he does it threaten me if he doesnt get his way with me :'(

[Enoral3]

@cathkinghost no, it's not just you.

[DaftPunkinator]

Just saw this movie for the first time and I'm 19. Man... this movie is now my favorite movie...

[Killswitchfan09]

not going to lie .. i cry every time wishing this could happen with me and my father... we never got to play catch after i was 12 cause he got sick .. what i would do to play catch with him today.. R.I.P. Dad love you

[24Lancelot]

My father died over 10 years ago. I'm 48 now...and what I wouldn't give to play catch with him right now. Someday, we will again. :)

[GeorgeBailey2]

You'd think they could have included the extra few seconds of the pan out showing the line of cars?

GhostofBugsy is:

A) Sarcastic; or

B) A troll.

[GhostOfBugsy]

No one says 'Wanna have a catch?" Horrible dialog, horrible acting.

[24Lancelot]

@GhostOfBugsy Actually, people do. Maybe YOU don't. But then again, nobody spells "dialogue" without "ue" on the end...except idiots.

[Luke123Hanson]

@GhostOfBugsy you're a dick

[GhostOfBugsy]

Kevin Costner - one of the most overrated actors of all time. All of his movies just plain suck because of him.

[2181190]

Hey dad !!!!!

[DIJV79]

This is very sad! we wonder what is wrong with are society, boys do not spend enough time with there fathers.

[Einhander49]

@DIJV79 And some don't spend enough time with their English teachers. :'(

[DIJV79]

@Einhander49 Correct! 

[richm444]

BTW - I have been there and it really is a beautiful place. I am glad the farm owners agreed to maintain the property as it was developed for thre movie. The only problem is they moved a power line back across the property and it rund right from 3rd base over shortshop and second and across right center into the corn fields. I dont know how they play there without hitting the wire.

[jjj1951]

My father passed away several months ago. One of my memories this scene triggers is my dad coming home from the factory on a hot summer night all tired and sweaty. Yet when he saw me waiting for him with two mitts and a ball he would drop his lunch bucket and somehow find the energy to play catch with me for as long as I wanted. Rest in peace, dad.

[tootse318]

@jjj1951 amazing... you were very blessed.

[CanadianGuitarist]

@jjj1951 I was born to very young parents, so I can't entirely empathize, but my beloved father has begun to say the same thing alot lately; while my brother and are fully-grown adults now, my dad's friends are all fathers to eight or nine-year-olds. My dad speaks fondly of coming home from work at 22 and having enough energy to have a catch or play road hockey with us, which may not have been the case at, say, 45.

[Joltzz1985]

@jjj1951 Maybe the first comment on youtube to bring a tear to my eye.......

[jojospider1]

This was my grandfathers favorite movie.....he was the first one that really showed me the beauty of baseball....this scene makes me cry and think of him......RIP grandpa...i'll see you again

[PrimusFriendKing]

Craziet funniest moments of my life were in little league... Dangeriously powerful movie!!! Love it!!

[themitch1966]

This is a great scene.Probably one of the freatest in film. What can we learn from it? This: it's never too late until it's too late. What the hell does THAT mean? Fix your problems with the people you love before it's too late. Once they(or YOU) are gone, well, there ain't no do overs,no mulligans. Fix it NOW. TODAY.

[jackpark7927]

Dad taught me how throw a knuckleball...I was 12. Played catch a lot.....a lot...so you can imagine what I think of this scene.

[quarf53206]

I am a 26 year old male and this makes me cry like i am 2 years old every time

[BOBOFETT100]

1 Person IS THE DEVIL T_T so sad D: T_T YET HAPPY

[gkopacz]

I remember watching this as a kid with my father. I've seen it coutless amounts of times. I can receit the movie from the very first line to the last line in order. But every single time I see this scene, I always, always tear up. Now that I'm a grown man with a family of my own, I watched this movie for the first time with my baby son the other night and couldn't help but feel those old feelings I felt when I was a kid watching it with my dad.

[theclashroc28]

always cry

[mistofchange]

I haven't seen this movie in years; not since I was a kid. I remember being so young thinking that the movie was actually real. However, I'm older now... but this scene just brings such a overwhelming feeling watching someone's dream come true. It's so simple but so powerful. I'm sure for the many who watched this - this is a dream for them.

[mavenous22]

It's interesting to know that Dwier Brown lost his father and filmed this the day after the funeral...I think it brings a little bit more to the film, really good scene.

[mmamostwanted]

Awesome! Helping someone is worth everything. R.Lopez

[owslachief]

@cathkinghost

No. Not just you.

[heather78usn]

I used to have a huge crush on the guy that played the Dad! lol

[gkopacz]

@heather78usn He was actually my neighbors college roommate. Hell of a nice guy.

[tlb50mustang]

Best things in life are free enjoy the time God has given us with the ones u love and always take time out to give thanks and forgive because once its gone we can never get it back.

[tommusicfan19]

I was 11 when my father died. We used to play a bit of ball when he was around sometimes on a nice afternoon. When Costner says "Hey dad, wanna have a catch?" I started to tear up because its probably the first thing that I would ask my father if he came out of a cornfield to see me.

[jfkjrlover]

My dad died almost 10 years ago when I was 16. We weren't as close as I wish we had been because he was an alcoholic, but when he was sober, he was a great dad. This scene makes me cry every time because it makes me think of him; how I wish things had been different and that he was still with me. :( RIP Dad.

[tmanran]

1 person can't catch.

[MARKGPL]

As a middle aged man who played ALOT of baseball when I was younger and had serious estrangement issues with my father, this scene NEVER fails to touch a nerve. What I wouldn't give to have just 5 minutes with my (deceased) dad and be able to say so many things to him that I couldn't say to him while he was alive. "I love you" would be the start of my conversation with him. I miss you, Dad, and am sorry for so many things..!

[blindescape01]

Thanks alot for dying on me dad.... Now i'll never have a catch

[Cagedguitarist401]

Probably the one movie scene can make a grown heterosexual man cry.

[Polojine1]

wtf is this shit bullshit man i dont get thtat scene at all.. so useless

[Melo7NY]

@Polojine1 you obviously havent seen the movie then

[JCKustom13]

@Polojine1 obviously polojine you're not a golfer.

[themitch1966]

@JCKustom13 No mulligans,right?

[JCKustom13]

@themitch1966 Yeah man, especially not after they peed on my rug, that rug really tied the room together

[cdzmo1972]

Tears in my eyes...every single time, without fail. You don't love this scene, you don't have a soul.

[richm444]

@cdzmo1972 I have replayed this scene a million times to try to build up an immunity to it - I can't do it. When Kevin Costner catches the ball the floodgates open- it blows my togh guy image to hell

[TheMeaningOfWithin]

The film score, the acting and the visual aspects all combine together to create a scene of pure beauty and emotion.

[bennysupertramp2]

1 person has daddy issues.. awww

[gensmash1]

This scene makes my cry every time, just to have one more catch with my dad...

[canadianbacon007]

Ease his pain.

[MrSamster911]

this movie reminds us of a time when america was young. when coke came in green glass bottles, and bank robbers where folk heros. it's movies like this that bring us back....

[agwideout19]

only two movies have ever made me cry. rudy when he gets carried off the field, and this scene gets me every time too

[nemafann]

bobcrgan, I agree. I would give anything to have a 2nd chance with my dad. I just hear the music and I cry. I'm a 56 year old female and cry like a baby. Cheers

[theyearofourlordig88]

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

[TheDeadhead56]

gosh this is great

[bobcrgn]

My favorite scene of any movie at any time ever made.
