Watched Castaway last night with Tom Hanks in. Very good film I thought. Anyway, can anyone tell me what plane they're flying when they crash? and what flight they're doing.
Thanks  

Sorry if u like Castaway but I found it boring.  

I found it interesting, simply because you end up feeling sort of sad when Hanks loses Wilson . . .  It shows just how good an actor he is that he can make you care about a deflated soccer ball.

it was an MD11 that crashed. it had winglets and a glass cockpit, the DC10 niether, and even the MD10 only has a small computer screen on it i believe. But the winglets were a give away there. he actually boarded an airbus though.
as for the route, prob asian country to memphis, i havent seen the whole movie in a long time.
the end of that movie is heaven for me, DC10's MD11's all lined up on the memphis fed-ex ramp. ahhhhh

I too was impressed with his acting ability.
I mean for a whole movie it was him and a ball, but yet it kept you entertained!
What other actor can you think of that could have pulled that off?
And the "plane" scene at the movie theater was AWESOME!!
Felt like you were on board!
as a matter of fact now that I think of it that was the last movie I saw at a theater! I need to get out more often!!

OK.  That means you haven't seen ANY of The Lord of the Rings in theatres!  GO SEE Return of the King!

you have missed many good movies,like "13 days", "pirates of the caribbean" or "american wedding". now go and get 'em on VHS or DVD.

Speaking of getting out, I think the last movie I saw in a theatre was The Bridge On The River Kwai ............ :-/

When was that??
Gotta be really long time ago because I sont remember such a movie.

Last movie I saw in theaters was 'Titanic' (SP?) and I didn't even like it... :-/

Saw 'Castaway' on the TV a while back, found it very funny.  ;D

Sock

I saw that in the theaters.  It was good, but I don't think it was quite the acting tour de force they made it out to be...  ::)

The last movie I saw in the theater was 'Apollo 13'

just saw "return of the king" a few days ago, a very good movie!

I can't believe it!  You've never heard of Bridge Over the River Kwai?  Starred Alec Guinness (sp?), aka Obi Wan Kenobi.

I'm only 22, and I remember that movie.  How old are you?

I'm sure you've heard the theme song to the movie: its a favorite for those who whistle.  Try looking up the title to the movie and see if you can find a music link.
