    To quote a non-SFF movie (hopefully that’s OK): if you build it, they will come.

  2. Rick K: Odd that you would want to excuse a movie filled with ghosts and prominently featuring an episode of time travel as not SFF. Odd and yet you’re right that nobody thinks Field of Dreams is a genre flick.

    But it is one of my favorites.

  3. Mike:

    Good point. This is the converse of ‘that damn dinosaur story’. It has no discernable SFF content but Swirsky self-identifies as an SFF writer so it is included in the genre.

  4. Field of Dreams did receive a well-deserved Hugo nomination in 1990 for Best Dramatic Presentation.

    It’s true!

    I always thought of FoD as magical realism myself, or some kind of Country/Farm Fantasy where baseball is the summer country. Even The Natural has just a bit of this, like the “Lady in White” scene, or the “Knock the Cover Off” scene with the lightning and the rain.
