Dr . Henry Heimlich invented the Heimlich maneuver in 1974. Dr. Heimlich discovered that the remaining air in a person's lungs could be used to free (dislodge) a foreign object from their esophagus using quick, upward thrusts under their ribcage.
But since Doc Graham died in 1972 the Maneuver hadn't been invented or discovered yet so
Before Dr. Heimlich, the advice was usually to slap between the shoulder blades hard and often. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't so thats why Doc Graham did what he did to help Karen. 👍👍👍
Always love your reactions, so thanks, and hi Marc, it’s good to see you! This was never a touchstone movie for me, but I liked it. The loss of Ray Liotta was discombobulating for me because I had watched him as a really young actor on Another World (a soap) growing up. He’s a force to be reckoned with in Something Wild, directed by Jonathon Demme, so you may want to put that one on your list. Not to nag or anything, but … Game of Thrones? Peace …
To your question is this field a real place. Yes!!! And major league baseball actually built a regulatuon sized baseball field just next to the movie one. And each year a regulation game is actually played their now, it's pretty special, its heaven!❤️ Heres a clip of the first game played there in 2021 I believe.

Does David think that his doctor's real first name is Doc, too?
I have no idea how this became a popular movie. I found it to be incredibly boring. Just my opinion.
The size of the baseball field is only 3.5 acres. That's about $1,500 worth of corn. There's no way he would have lost his house.
‘Sup!! One of my favorite movies of All time!! 😊❤❤ they’re both great films. Both must watch. (“HE will come”) Most people remember it as “they”, until they see the movie.😊❤ Know you’ll love it! Can’t wait!
If you haven’t done “A Quiet Place” it’s awesome. 😊
Both are great films!!
It absolutely is in Iowa. They (professional baseball players) play a game there every so often. It is a major attraction. 😊❤
YOU SHOULD WATCH “DRAGONFLY” with Kevin Costner. AN AWESOME movie with a thrilling supernatural twist. You won’t be sorry.❤😊
Dances with Wolves_AWESOME!!
Ease his pain was Rays pain. Not being able to take back what he said to his dad before he died.
I am waiting to play catch with my Dad 😉 This is a Boomer movie like Forrest Gump. House and field are still there. You gotta have some faith 😉 I am waiting to play catch with my Dad 😉
The Red Cubs was pretty inventive.
If you like" Yellowstone" and Kevin Costner you should watch " Silverado" and "Open Range" both westerns starring Kevin Costner.
"…go the distance" – don't sell out the farm…go the distance
Since 2021 theres been 2 field of dreams games and theyve had issues making it happen ever since . The reds 2 cubs 4 game was nothing too special especially compared to the first field of dreams game between the new york yankees 8 chicago white sox 9 that was a back and forth banger ending with a white sox homerun into the corn field
You guys missed a lot on this one
The super rare no tears reaction.
This movie has the highest % of reactors crying and it was #1 on Mojo's Top 10 Movies That Make Men Cry (paraphrasing)
Sorry guys you missed so much on this. Maybe rewatch it. Its also embarrassing you didn't know Burt Lancaster
The last scene with the cars coming to the field, the production company put out a call to neighboring towns and got about 1,500 people to bring their cars and park them with their lights on, and flickering the high beams on and off to make it look like the cars were moving
Youll are the only reactors i have seen that did not cry when he said dad you wanna have a catch or when his dad was reveled. Everybody I know, cried at the end of this movie. He got to reconcile with his father and also realize he had heaven right there with his family.
I have seen this movie many times, I tear up at the end every single time.
Yeah you guys were definitely not the target audience for this
There is a movie called "Eight Men Out" that is about the 1919 World Series White Sox and the scandal. Actress who played is Amy Madigan, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in 1985 for "Twice In A Lifetime" and has won a Golden Globe for her role as Iris Crowe on "Carnivale."
No heimlich back in the 70’s
The Heimlich maneuver didn’t come along until after Dr. Graham died.
This was one of those movies that built so much of my childhood. I watched it with my dad (whos fathers family is from Iowa). He lost his dad at a young age like Ray did and I think this movie just hit home for my dad. This is a real place though! I would love to visit someday soon (hopefully with my dad). They have actually started playing a few major league games there for fun. I also have to say, I love, LOVE the music! James Horner, who was another huge part of my childhood (he did movies like Braveheart, Titanic, Jumaji, A Beautiful Mind, Casper, etc), brings so much emotion to his music and it has stayed with me even into adulthood. There is a certain magic to it for me. The ending of the movie always gets me and I start crying as soon as Ray asks his dad to play catch and the music swells ❤
The field is a real place, they've had major league ballgames played in the vicinity, it's currently undergoing renovations.
"No Way Out" is a good suspense Costner film.
Go 'Stros!!
The field is still there, they play MLB games there still.
Oh and Ed Harris is the voice in the cornfields.
It’s so hilarious that almost everyone who reacts to this film gets the line wrong! LOL! “HE will come”, not “they”.
This is such a good film with a great cast.
A good film about the "Black Sox' is Eight Men Out (1988).
Please watch Gran Torino too 😬
Every time I see that line of car lights at the end, I think "they're going to need bigger stands."
32:15 He didn't need to do the Heimlich. The piece of hot dog was at the top of her throat. He just needed to knock it loose and encourage her to cough it up.
It’s so weird to me that so many people think that Terry going into the corn means that he is going to die or is dead already. I have always seen his crossing over as akin to that guy in Greek mythology who goes to Hades to retrieve his true love. He isn’t dead, but on a mission. Terry will return with the story that he has to write.
Was Dulce named after Mussolini?
Mark's smile brings me back every time!!!! <3
10:47 The lines "Is this heaven?" "It's Iowa" were everywhere when this movie came out. If memes were a thing then, it would've been a meme.
Great reaction, guys!
20:38 "So bitchin' " That's a very '80s phrase!
CONGRATULATIONS ON HAVING ZERO RESPECT FOR THIS CLASSIC FILM😡. THE TOUCHING ENDING THAT EVERYONE GETS EMOTIONAL OVER WAS COMPLETELY IGNORED BY YOUR LACK OF FEELINGS. YOU BOTH NEED TO STOP THINKING THAT EVERYTHING IS A JOKE. YOUR CONSTANT ATTEMPTS AT TRYING TO SOUND FUNNY OR CLEVER ARE INCREDIBLY ANNOYING AND SHOWS US YOU ARE NOT HERE TO RESPECT FILM, BUT TO FEED YOUR PATHETIC EGOS. CONGRATULATIONS ON RUINING A PERFECT FILM WITH YOUR CHILDISH NONSENSE 😡
This was Burt Lancaster's last film, so the line where Shoeless Joe Jackson goes "Hey rookie! You were good." was actually the filmmakers's way of honouring him.
(I mean, I don't know that they knew it was his last film, but he was getting older, so…)
Also, that's usually when I start sobbing like big girl I am. lol
The thing that's been… mystifying the fandom since this film first aired: when did Terrence Mann actually die?
Terrance was dead the whole time
