I love Tom Hanks, why doesn't he get those kinds of roles anymore?

"There's no crying in baseball" *nostalgic sniff*

Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan are his two best Films Period!!!

I know a lot of people disagree but I thought he was great in DaVinci Code


Great actor, amazing guy

don't forget:

 

[Lancemc]

You forgot Big.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I think it's cus this is a 90's only list...

Big and Splash were awesome.

Joe Vs The Volcano... not so much

You forgot Big.

and the 'burbs, Dragnet, and of course:

Those are definitely great movies you listed, I'd say his prime was 1988-2000. He's yet to surprise me in anything recently.

I am looking forward to Charlie Wilson's War though.

 

[WinnieThePoo]

Philadelphia & Forrest Gump + The Green Mile
those were exceptionale

 

[Lila64]

Philadelpia

I cry every time

Great actor

no mention of You've Got Mail? That Thing You Do?

Turner & Hooch

 

[waynetravis]

The 'Burbs
Toy Story (although Tim Allen steals the movie from infinity and beyond )
Saving Private Ryan
Cast Away

those are my top 4, i cant think of any other Tom Hanks film what i've seen

 

[LMP]

We are all forgetting one movie though:

It's not in the prime period, but it's a mid-'80s classic.

ROAD TO PERDITION!!!!!

 

[pepokiss]
