Cast Away (2000)

  A FedEx executive seems to have his life planned ; a good job, a perfect girlfriend and a marriage on the way. All these are about to change as his plane crashes somewhere in the Pacific Ocean during a storm. Stranded on a deserted island, he must find a way to get back or face the fact that he will die there...
  Robert Zemeckis trusts Tom Hanks once again and the result is a perfect mix drama and soft comedy. Trying to pry into the mind and feelings of a person alienated from his peers, Cast Away draws fine allegories between a cast way and each and every one of us that may be surrounded by people but still feel alone. Amusing humor and nice settings guarantee a good-mood film but the ocean of mixed feelings portrayed here will certainly allow you to connect more with the character. A fine drama film but not too dramatic!
  Alongside Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, as his girlfriend, has the only second bigger role. Hats off to Tom Hanks for managing to carry the weight of a film with basically only one character inside it. You can witness the stages of a man on the edge of losing his mind but never losing his hope. Besides, not many actors can make friends with a volley ball and still make you feel sad when they get separated.
Must watch this : right before you set off for vacation somewhere far, watch this and get emotionally prepared for anything. Enjoy with a cold beer of your choice and corn salad. Watch it with a friend (or more) and feel blessed that you may not be so alone in the universe after all.

Chicken Run (2000)

  The chickens at a chicken farm have unsuccessfully tried many times to escape from their prison. Their owner has plans of turning the farm into a meat-processing factory and when a fancy rooster arrives by chance at the farm, the chickens find in him their savior...
  Peter Lord and Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit) are responsible for this masterpiece! Using innocent humor but for gloomy situations, this film manages to amuse children as well as grown-ups. Primarily being an escape film with the obvious twist, Chicken Run will have you laughing with the chickens' generic reactions but still in the end you are left with some food for thought about animal treatment (well, not so much you fuckin' hippie)!
  Borrowing the voices Mel Gibson, Julia Sawalha, Miranda Richardson, Benjamin Whitrow, Lynn Ferguson and a bunch of other talented people, this film offers small doses of British humor carefully handled to fit children too so don't expect anything lewd or malevolent. Nevertheless, since you are an adult you can always use a different angle and this film will suddenly surprise you!
Must watch this : on a scorching hot summer day evening! Spend the day at the beach with friends or at the pool (or both), then chill out in the sun with beers and cigarettes and at night enjoy this film with a big barbecue dedicated on chicken! That's life!

O Brother, Where Art Thou (2000)

  Three escaped convicts start a desperate hunt for a supposed treasure. Their way is hindered by crooked politicians, the KKK, giant con men, luring witches and a lawman that takes his job way too seriously. Not being the smartest of the lot, they stumble in each and every step of their way but they finally get to taste happiness in the American South of the Great Depression...
  Joel and Ethan Coen once again collaborate and direct this feel-good adventure! Greatly inspired by Homers' Odyssey, this film is highly allegoric and you can find a meaning/connection with everything in it. Great figures an historic landmarks are depicted in this film, disguised and masked to fit inside the film's era. The Devil, Ulysses, Robert Johnson, Poseidon, the KKK and a country in the process of changing all bind together smoothly under the fine orders of the Coen brothers and a soundtrack that could not be any better for this film.
  George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson play the three main characters, the convicts that are after the treasure but only find failure and trouble along their way. John Goodman has the small supporting role of a big bodied racist mugger and con man, Chris Thomas King is the skilled bluesman who gets stuck with the convicts and Daniel von Bargen is the Devil himself.
Must watch this : on a cool breezy night with the only light being that of a candle, heavy tobacco, a glass of heavier whiskey and a true friend. Let the film take you in its comforting vortex and feel vulnerable and mortal while you consume the tobacco and whiskey. After the film, oblige in that grassy tune and talk about life and how simple it is while we stupidly make it more complex!
