Forrest Gump
Saving Private Ryan
Catch Me If You Can
The Ladykillers
Big
The Green Mile
Toy Story

The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons are ok. I suppose if you're deeply religious and Catholic you're going to have a problem with them.

Hanks has starred in some pretty awful movies, The Bachelor Party, The Burbs, Joe vs. the Volcano to name three.

I haven't seen Road to Perdition or Philadelphia.

I thought the first one was crap. Haven't seen the second. I thought Hanks was mediocre at best. And I love The Burbs.

 

[TOP]

Probably Catch Me If You Can or Forrest Gum.

The Burbs FTW.

Do you people not consider the Toy Story movies as a film? The first and third movies were fantastic.

 

[Shaun1985]

Saving Private Ryan, Green Mile, Forrest Gump, Toy Story, A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN. No mentions, c'mon now. Rosie Odonell in some hot knee socks chasing balls around? Are you serioius?

 

[bleedorange1983]

Saving Private Ryan by a mile. The Money Pit is a distant second

 

[volfan0118]

Bachelor Party

!!!!!

Yeah but there is no acting involved.

 

[Cdywolfe]

Probably Catch Me If You Can or Forrest Gum.

My choices as well but I feel like Leonardo Dicaprio was really what made Catch me if you can great. Tom Hanks was good too though.

Only reason I didn't include them in my list. All 3 are in my top 5 animated movies no doubt.

Agreed. That was my thinking as well when I chose it.

Definitely. There aren't that many good animated movies to begin with so options are limited. The one guy said 2 and 3 were the best. I agree with 3 being the best but I was never that high on 2 compared to the others. I'd probably ranked them 3, 1, 2.

3 and 1 are a lot better than 2 imo.

He probably means that it suffers from a lack of exposure. I feel the same way.

The Green Mile.

 

[Chris4Vols22]

Saving Private Ryan
Forrest Gump
Castaway

(IMO)

 

[thehardknoxlife]

Interesting fact. Road to Perdition falls in the "comic book movie" category.

 

[altidore17]

Forrest, Forrest Gump. Probably my favorite movie of all time.

 

[gordonr24]

Forrest Gump, Castaway, Saving Private Ryan, Big

Undoubtedly the best actor of the last 25 years. Although there are a few others.
