I can't watch them anymore without hearing Woody from Toy Story.
I watched Cast Away again recently, and enjoyed it again, but I laughed out loud at the bit where he kept hearing coconuts falling in the dark and shouted, "What IS that?" It sounded just like Woody.
I also watched Saving Private Ryan again, and as soon as Hanks said his first words...
