Jo Maggs was sleepy this morning but thinks Cast Away is in her top five Tom Hanks movies, with The Money Pit, Splash!, Catch Me If You Can and Saving Private Ryan.
She does however reserve the right to change that ranking when she's woken up properly.

The gun battle was – and remains – one of the loudest and most exciting sequences I've ever experienced. But just as extraordinary are the small details, like the heartbreaking gesture that Ashley Judd makes to warn Val Kilmer away from their home. A great movie.

I saw 'em at Wembley in '96, which was pretty underwhelming; then again in '97, outdoors at Finsbury Park, which was much more entertaining and by far the best of the three makeup shows that I caught.
Foolishly, I didn't like Rage Against the Machine at the time and didn't watch their opening set.
