John Q, when Denzel is talking to his son on the phone from the ER he’s holding hostage. Actually that whole movie is a parents worst nightmare.
As a HUGE baseball fan, and a baseball purist...there is only one other baseball movie that compares to Field of Dreams.
There have been many good ones, The Rookie, Bull Durham, Major League, Eight Men Out, The Natural, etc.
However, For Love of the Game is the only one to reach the same “feels” level as Field of Dreams.
This scene, as someone whose childhood dream it was to play in the majors (got to play in college)...I can never watch without getting choked up. You have to have seen the whole movie for it to fully make sense...

That movie bugged me, if only because of how much of it wasn't about baseball. However, I can agree on that seen. If you love baseball, it'll punch you in the feels.
I feel the same way about Saul taking the mound for the final time in the original Angels in the Outfield (which, if you haven't, you should see ... great movie).

I actually liked how they had him having his whole career flash before his eyes in his last game ever.
