*Cast Away* It's an Emotional Rollercoaster!! 

You know the actor is awesome when he makes us cry over a volley ball.

"WILSON!!!! I'M SORRY, WILSON!" 😢

The Terminal is another Tom Hanks movie that is really good and emotional.

The Green Mile, and A League of Their Own are two good ones 👌

In real life, the film took a one-year break during the time when the film says “Four years later.” While Hanks grew his hair and beard, lost weight and got fit, the director (and most of the crew) made the film “What Lies Beneath.”

😂 Castaway makes for such a good reaction video. Not only is the movie great, but there’s so little dialogue that it allows you guys to actually discuss the movie properly while you watch without talking over anything important.

WILSON!!! I'M SORRY, WILSON!!!. That line just brings me to tears every time. 😢

Tom Hanks - "Apollo 13", "The Green Mile", "Saving Private Ryan", "Catch Me if you Can"

Saving Ryan's private is a good Hank movie 😅

The scene when he leaves the island and breaches the final wave, he knows he made it and he looks back and sees the island, his prison home for 4 years.. he's been building to this moment for the majority of that.. I imagine the emotions he conveyed perfectly in that moment.. Relief, Fear, Excitement, all simultaneously.. it never fails to bring tears to my eyes.. in my opinion, one of his absolute best acting moments.. it reminds me when Red is explaining to the others about the prison walls in the Shawshank Redemption.. "These walls are funny.. at first you hate them, then, you get used to them, before long you get to where you depend on them" ❤❤

Tom Hanks is such a good actor that he’ll make you cry over a volleyball.

The green Mile and Apollo 13 are musts!

Tom Hanks belongs on the Mount Rushmore of actors. Who else could do a movie with very little speaking and it still be a success?

I loved the little bit where he is just standing outside in the rain - completely unbothered by the elements at this point.

BIG is another one of my favourite tom hanks movies! 😊

Don't listen to anyone who says crying makes you look weak. They are the true weak ones for suppressing emotions.

Roles like this and Forrest Gump are why Tom Hanks is my favorite actor.

"Money Pit" and "The Terminal" are 2 great Tom Hanks movies.

My son was about four when this came out he cried so bad in the theater whenever he lost Wilson that he had everybody in there crying😂😂😂

"I'm sorry Wilson." 😔😔😔

The Green Mile but bring all the tissues

An underrated sad part of this movie was leaving the island. Everything he thought knew learned about himself, was in that island. And he had to leave himself, behind.

Aw man, that reef just sinking into his leg like a hot knife through butter still gets me every time. Also 37:27 will never not make me laugh my ass off. When "Four years later" showed up in the theater, I was like "Oh man, are you kidding?" I was totally alone in there that day. Perks of watching matinee showings.

Jane’s family passes down swords? That’s freaking dope!

Tom Hanks wrote and directed “That Thing You Do” which is fantastic!

WILSON deserves an Oscar

Apparently during production, in the scene where Wilson floats away, they actually let him float away. So he’s still supposed to be somewhere in the ocean. If you find him, he’s supposed to be worth over a million dollars.

Tom Hanks in Splash is an awesome love story movie where he falls in love with a Mermaid. Classic movie. A must watch!!

I’d want Norm Macdonald to be Wilson voice.

Check out Apollo 13 with Tom Hanks. It's got an amazing cast: Gary Sinise, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris. An amazing and true story about the U.S. space program.

"Did they have GoPros in 2000?" I didn't get my first digital still camera until 2002, Digital video barely existed for professionals.

Voice of Wilson: GILBERT GOTTFRIED... lol

Three very significant films starring Tom Hanks are: Saving Private Ryan, Apollo 13 and Philadelphia (Best Actor Oscar.)

Tom Hanks won an Oscar for Forrest Gump and won the next year too for ‘Philadelphia’ which I believe got Denzel an Oscar nomination. It was a very good movie

It would have been hilarious if at the end when he meets the lady and delivers that package, she tells him it was a sat phone inside. That he could have used to contact the outside world. ^_^

I think Castaway is better than Forrest Gump. Then again they're both good. ❤

That scene where he busts out his tooth just makes me hurt in every possible way 😵‍💫😭😭😭😭😭💀💀💀

So glad you guys reacted to this, Jane & JV! This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I watch it when I need a little inspiration through tough times. Meanwhile, some fun little details for you: The movie opens and closes on the same crossroads and stretch of road -- the road to Bettina (the Angel sculptor's) house. Bettina is listening to Elvis when Fedex pulls up in the beginning (subtle clue she is Chuck's soul mate) In the early shots of Chuck's home, you can see that he has several pictures of himself on small sailboats, awards for sailing, and books on solo small-boat sailing Aside from the Russian chorus and Elvis songs, there is zero musical score to "Cast Away" until the shot of Chuck sailing away from the island on his raft, 103 minutes into the movie. Zemeckis sent several crew members off to try to "survive" for a few days before the final script polish to see what the biggest challenges were -- and they all ended up in the movie -- fire, opening coconuts, water, raw fish/crabs, shelter. In the end, Chuck is no longer working for Fedex (and presumably never has to work again), so he seems to be on a self-given quest to drive around and self-deliver the packages that helped to save him on the island. I love that he has Wilson with him again! And that he saved Angel lady ("Bettina") for last as the most meaningful. I absolutely think he turns around and goes back to Angel sculptor's house after that pause at the end of the movie.

I know that being a parent changes you big time. I used to never cry or maybe i would subconsciously supress my emotions. But when i became a parent I noticed i got more emotional and sensitive not in a bad way but in a more conscious way, like you understand life better. Anyway great reaction these movies arent just entertaining but they also help us grow

I took my eldest son to see this, we BAWLED over Wilson. I bought him a Wilson ball.

The Green Mile, my favorite movie of all time. Has both Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan in it. A magnificent, beautiful movie ❤

Y’all gotta watch “the terminal” and “a man called Otto”. Two really great Tom Hanks movies

The Green Mile and Saving Private Ryan. Both HUGE

Road to Perdition and The Green Mile. 2 more greats from Toim Hanks. The Burbs was also one of my favorites lol

Captain Phillips was amazing

"She married Mr. Big and had a baby." Oh my God, that gave a good laugh. 😅

Definitely watch Terminal at some point

15:52 Even if the beeper or cell phone was water proof, there aint no signal out there 😅

A good actor can make you love a hero. A great actor can make you both love fear a villain. But it takes the goat of acting to make you cry over the tragic loss of a volleyball.

Green Mile is tragic/beautiful... but so is Philadelphia (alongside Denzel W), get your tissues ready for this one!

Note to self! Never travel with Tom Hanks!

Grew up watching it and love it and love the line at the end when he's talking to his friend and what he says about the tide also rip Wilson long live Wilson jr

It was the “She married Mr. Big” for me!!! Lol… #iloveit 😂😂😂

In Tom Hanks' headcanon, Chuck follows that pretty redhead and lives happily ever after!

Wilson won an Oscar 🏆

I think in the bag he lost was a emergency beacon

Only Tom Hanks could make me cry over a grown manlosing a volleyball.

Another thing he'd have to contend with is the paperwork involved in getting yourself brought back to life. Apparently it's a clerical nightmare for people that have themselves accidentally declared dead, and can take months to get resolved. At the very least with him being semi-famous, he might have some lawyers willing to help him with it 😅

My favorite and tear jerker is Philadelphia with stellar supporting cast... touches my heart every time.!!!

I read a comment a while back, and I didn't realize that there is no soundtrack (background music) until Chuck leaves the island.

More Tom Hanks movies: Apollo 13, Sully, Saving private Ryan, The Green Mile

So, this was 2000's "Cast Away". Ten years earlier Tom Hanks starred with Meg Ryan in "Joe vs the Volcano", a concept film that has Hanks floating on a raft in the Pacific and being watched over (the first time) by a whale. Meg plays three different women. Well worth a reaction. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have costarred in three films together: -"Joe vs the Volcano" (1990) -"Sleepless in Seattle" (1993) -"You've Got Mail" (1998) (a remake/update of "The Shop Around the Corner") With Hanks's first costar part with Meg Ryan playing three characters, it's interesting that he teamed up with an international ensemble cast to do "Cloud Atlas" (2012). The story spreads out across thousands of years, with the ensemble making appearances as different characters in different relationships to each other each time period. I think it may be the only film where Hanks appears as a villain (and actually plays TWO villains). Rarely done as a reaction, but well worth doing it; GREAT FILM!!! You'll note that, in this film, when Hanks first learns his coworker's wife is dying, his immediate reaction is to find a way to 'fix' the problem. When he returns, his immediate reaction is to empathize and offer solace. Chuck knew he had to let the fiancé go because when he returned from the island, he was a different man; he may have looked like the 'love of her life', but he was very different now. And the feast that FedEx had set up for him on his return... Chuck was SO OVER seafood; talk about clueless! Great reaction. I've never seen such extreme reaction to the plane crash, or Chuck being scraped over coral, or ESPECIALLY the DIY dentalwork! And the tears over the loss of Wilson; so sweet. But what REALLY had me laughing like a loon... "It's like...your mouth is having a baby...but your frickin' vagina won't open..." The EYES 👀!!!

The fact that Robert Zemeckis is able to makes emotionally attached to a volleyball is a testament to his brilliant directing. The score by Alan Silverstri really tugs at the heart strings too! 💔

Some of my favorite Tom Hanks movies: The Green Mile Catch Me If You Can Philadelphia A Man Called Otto

That whole aircrash sequence is one of the best if not the best I have seen.

Waterproofing things have been around for along time haha not just 2000s

Three things I learned about this movie that you might find interesting, All of the scenes on the island were shot during the day and then darkened later and no microphones. All sound, including Tom's lines were dubed in later at a recording studio. Did you notice that there is no music in the background? All agreed that adding background music would take away from the feeling of isolation.

Great actor -- my next pick is Turner and Hooch -- Its a fun one and you can see how Tom evolves into the character we all love now

the reason why chuck keeps turning the light on and off is not an SOS, it's so that he can see kelly's picture.

Lari White, the redhead giving directions to Tom Hanks at the end of the movie, was also a country singer. She tragically died of cancer at the age of 52 back in 2018.

The Da Vinci Code with Tom Hanks is a great one to watch.

He’s a phenomenal actor who can make you cry over a volleyball 😅

I swear there was a spoof done back in the day and the girl opened the package and there was a lighter and a knife and other stuff that could have helped him on the island lmao

I don't know about big Hollywood blockbuster Hanks other than notable mentions, but The Terminal is definitely worth a watch.

33:04 😂 Justin forgetting the man doesn’t have fire yet

I had never noticed he had another Wilson with him in the truck. Glad you mentioned it.

Fun fact the fire making scene Tom Hanks actually practiced making fire that way and the reaction we see in the movie was his actual reaction to finally making the fire

If you cry about a volleyball, you know the writing and acting is topnotch

There's somewhat low risk of infection because the ocean is salt water, a natural antiseptic.

The green mile guys. Yes

Over and over again, I kept saying STOP TALKING!!! You kept talking over the most romantic scenes and dialog. You need to let the scene roll, and THEN make your comments.

My favorite Tom Hanks movies: * Mazes and Monsters 1982 * The 'Burbs 1989 * A League of Their Own 1992 * Sleepless in Seattle 1993 * Forrest Gump 1994 * Apollo 13 1995

Production note: Wilsons first break through role was in 1986, Top Gun. He co-stared in the Volleyball scene. The guy's a Legend!

56:10 Jane, i am so happy you acknowledged the fact that she DID marry Mr. Big and had his baby hahaha

Did you know inside the last package was a sattelite phone? 😂

Lol when Justin asked who should voice Wilson, my vote would be for either of the Seth's.

Wilson, voiced by Bobcat Goldthwait. That's the voice I use when filling in the responses from Wilson. The movie is so quiet, I actually suffer from Tom's issue that causes him to speak to Wilson in the first place lol. And Tom's character would be getting PAID in this movie. Like 4+ years of backpay and I'm talking every hour of 4 years, including overtime. And then some type of hazard pay bonus on top.

That bag that broke off when the plane crashed usually contains flares and other essential survival equipment and gear for signaling for help.

Tom Hanks is phoenominal in this movie.

If you guys liked Castaway, you will love The Terminal. Another Tom Hanks classic.

Apollo 13, The Green Mile, Catch Me If You Can, Saving Private Ryan and The Terminal are amazing Tom Hanks movies. A lot of his movies are really big hits and quite a few of them are based off of real events or people. Tom Hanks almost died while filming this movie. He cut his leg since he was on his knees so much, got a staph infection and wound up in the hospital for 3 days because of it. He was refusing to bathe and they caught it before it poisoned his blood.

You would have ALL of your "How'd they do that?" questions answered if you watch the mini documentary about how they did it all. Chuck's relationship with Wilson is a strong reminder that human beings were not created to be alone. Had it not been for Wilson, who knows what state of mind Chuck would have been in...long b4 that 4 year mark! Gr8 reaction guys! 🙌🙌❤❤

When I was probably about 11, my brother 8. My parents watched this movie with us until the point where the plane crash was over.... That was the part they remembered be traumatic and since we seemed ok they left us to watch the rest alone. When Wilson floated away we LOST IT and came running upstairs screaming and crying unable to say even "Wilson!"

Ya gotta love the statement made about CIVILIZED people eating/wasting food so carelessly (opening Thanksgiving dinner...post-rescue hotel spread). Another parallel between this movie and Forrest Gump is when Helen Hunt describes how he "drifted" on the ocean...mirror of the FG feather!

Wiiiiiiilllllsssssooooonn! Will never not be heartbreaking

I like how the movie ended with Chuck Nolan at a crossroads.

I think Wilson was a face to talk to and is what kept him sane.

No Jane, he didn’t create Fedex, Fedex has been around for a mighty long time. OK lol. He is just a worker.

Wilson left when Tom no longer needed him to survive. Tom let go and let God in the moment he released the oars. The whale guided him.

Theres only one voice for Wilson and it's Tim Allen😂
