I like his later work. Early stuff like Carrie and Children of the corn don't do it for me.

One of my all-time favorites is Field of Dreams. It has a cult status with me.

There’s an unexplainable magic in that movie, plus its beautifully shot.

Some will say it’s sappy, that there’s much better sports movies out there, but I don’t care.

If you build it, he will come.
