Cast Away : 3 of 5

You have to admire a movie that gets away with a 45 minute stretch without dialogue or score - truthfully, the movie goes downhill when people start talking. I really think things would have been more effective without the opening sequence emphasizing time (which Tom is about to have a lot of). Tom Hanks thankfully doesn't over-sentimentalize this one, and did a great job of making me believe he's really desperately alone (but the "tooth extraction" scene is completely gratuitous). The best thing about Cast Away is that Helen Hunt is not on the island, and Tom ends up with a cute Tori Amos-ish chick instead.
