I love Cast Away. One of my favorites. Easily one of the best of both Hanks' and Zemeckis's careers. And the last 30 or so minutes is a big reason why. That haunting, achingly beautiful music that doesn't sound off until he leaves the island. Repeated in his reunion with/goodbye to Kelly.
Cast Away is a fantastic movie that delves into the aspects of loss and regret, while also showing how perseverance and hope can get you to a better place than you were before, even if you're not entirely sure of it at the time.
