positive · AI labelView post →Cast Away is my favorite film about a hard worker who finally got the lengthy island vacation he deserved.
positive · AI labelView post →30 years ago today, the film CAST AWAY released in theaters. The Robert Zemekis-directed survival thriller starred Tom Hanks as the survivor of a plane crash. What is your favorite moment from the movie?

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched Cast Away (2000) for the first time in probably a quarter century. Looked back at the Oscar noms that year and Tom Hanks should have won. My wife has such a hard time with this movie because she thinks Helen Hunt’s character moved on too fast.
positive · AI labelView post →just finished watching the movie Send Help. it's an odd combination of Cast Away and Scream. often awkward, sometimes gory, other times funny... never boring. it's not a great movie, but it is certainly entertaining. 3/4 stars, will watch again
neutral · AI labelView post →Jesse trying to remember the title of Cast Away by calling it “the Tom Hanks by hisself movie” is still fucking killing me
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my fave things about What Lies Beneath is that Robert Zemeckis was all, "Okay, we shot the 1st half of Cast Away, but we need to kill time so that Hanks can get some real castaway hair going. So, what do I do? !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW! I CAN MAKE ANOTHER ENTIRE MOVIE IN THE MEANTIME!" *Legend.*

neutral · AI labelView post →Cast Away. Wilson wasn’t just a volleyball—he was proof that even in the loneliest storm, we invent love to survive. And yes… I cried harder for him than half of Hollywood’s characters. youtu.be/pC3rvFkDpL8?...
neutral · AI labelView post →Thin on the page, but the all-pro duo of "Send Help" -- Rachel McAdams and dir. Sam Raimi -- rescues the movie from itself. It's "Cast Away" if Wilson the volleyball were a total a-hole. My review for the @sfchronicle: www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Fantastic direction, cinematography, and acting showcase one of the most amazing physical transformations on film. Just as good as it was 26 years ago. Maybe better.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have a confession. For a while when I was a kid, I thought that the movie Cast Away was somehow related/based on 9/11 because I swear at least a couple years in a row that was always the day we watched it. I thought it was tradition to watch it like watching Christmas movies during the holidays

neutral · AI labelView post →I think the only film set in the ocean that I liked (yet still was deeply traumatized by lol) is Cast Away. Ironically, best frame of Cast Away is on land. The “it doesn’t matter what road you take, it matters that you take one” of it all. They’re all birth canals…for a rebirth. Ate tf down.

neutral · AI labelView post →Took DH on a little movie date to see Project Hail Mary and it was fantastic. It’s one of those movies where there’s really only one actor for the bulk of the movie (like Tom Hanks in Cast Away and Sandra Bullock in Gravity) and you need a charismatic actor like Ryan Gosling to pull that off.

neutral · AI labelView post →Cast Away. I can watch it 50-11 times and every time he cries out for Wilson, I start crying. & I love the final scene, that it doesn’t matter what path he chooses—the film never shows—it just matters that he chooses again, that his life has a path again, time unfrozen, and there’s life “after.”
positive · AI labelView post →He's made tons of great stuff. His next movie with Zemeckis (who directed Gump) is Cast Away, and it's half FedEx commercial, but I love it anyway. What acting! That scene bawling his eyes out on the raft. 😭
