7. ‘Cast Away’
It’s hard for any film with only one real character to work, but thanks to Tom Hanks’ amazing performance, Cast Away largely does. In spite of the jokes that have popped up in the years since, even Wilson the volleyball is endearingly used (and his departure is crushing). The real problem with Cast Away is this: after years of sustaining what little sanity he might have on the memory of a woman he’s desperate to get back to, Hanks discovers that she’s married his dentist and gotten knocked up. Plus, their kid is at least two or three. Did she hit on the dentist at Hanks’ fake funeral? I mean, come on, let the body cool a bit before you move on lady, sheesh.
