Love or loathe, its a tough call imo.
Saving Private Ryan for me, there are many of course Joe v's the volcano is high up there for me along with Big but if I could only ever watch one more Tom Hanks film it would be Saving Private Ryan.
Should have been in chat, apologies. Been on the beer. 🙂
Angels and demons, obvs
Splash 😉
Dragnet or Toy Story for me.
Forrest Gump, excellent film
Bachelor Party
Big. No seriously. Not his best film but it's an amazing performance- he does OTT when he has to but the subtlety is lovely.
Yup, Big for me too.
Great film.
The 'Burbs
"Run Forest, run!"
Or maybe Castaway 😕
My wife has an irrational hatred of Tom Hanks and Nicholas Cage and refuses to watch any of their films so I have to watch them alone!
Hows about "Volunteers"?? 😉
Castaway and Saving private ryan

It's not irrational, sounds like she just hates rubbish actors.
The green mile
+1 for Green Mile, also SPR, Big, You Got Mail 😳 and all the TS movies.

I'm the same about Jason Statham, yet my husband will still insist on watching Transporters 1-18.
Bachelor Party............
seriously
Road to Perdition
Philedeplhia
Toy Story 1-3
In the back of a lads mag they had saucy phone lines.
One of the titles was called Shaving Ryan's Privates.
I've laughed about that one for 15 years.
Road to Perdition
Joe Versus The Volcano
Castaway
Got to be police academy 8)
Apollo 13, on account of the fact that it's actually a good film
Big, Apollo 13 or Dragnet for me.
I can't like Castaway simply because of all the FedEx adverts throughout the whole bloody film.
The burbs. An absolute classic.
Apollo 13, on account of the fact that it's actually a good film
You can just imagine the arguments in the filum company over whether to stick faithfully to the true story, or to start dramatising it...
Reading the posts on here I am surprised just how many good films he has actually made.
It's odd I know but I thought Apollo 13 was a bit dull, the film that is. The subject matter was excellent, but the acting was mediocre ...
I chose Castaway because for 9/10ths of the film Hanks is in monologue mode, hard to do that 😉
Larry Crowne
Dragnet - Before he became boring.
The 'Burbs
Abso-flippin-lutely. A cinematic classic.
Forest Gump for me.

TH is probably my fave actor of all time and I'll happy sit and watch any of his films anytime (other than 'The Road To Perdition' ).
Larry Crowne
watched that last week - never heard of it before and rather enjoyed it.
The Simpsons movie.
/thread
Another vote for Big here.
Forest Gump. His performance in that is just brilliant but then again he is excellent in pretty much all his films.
Dragnet for sure.
The good thing about this thread is that it's out at least two films on my to watch list. Dragnet and Joe Vs the Volcano so far
Dragnet, but then I see that as more of a Dan Aykroyd film, he steals all the limelight
Captain Phillips. Which I haven't seen yet but I bet it's good.
Philadelphia ! Obviously
Just been to see Captain Philips and I'd say he's up for an Oscar for it.
The money pit is the finest Tom Hanks film.
Witty language, exceptional slapstick comedy and more than one
brilliant performance.
It's got to be Big or Forrest Gump for me.
Predator
Big
Sleepless in Seattle is an ace film.
road to perdition is a corker too.
i do like catch me of you can.
i just quite like tom hanks. probably be quicker to list his duff films.
Toy Story. no contest!
Turner and Hooch, obviously followed by Big.
Well we've just been to see Captain Phillips & it is absolutely brilliant. Hanks is superb playing the part.
One of the best films I've ever seen.
off to the flicks this week to watch Capt. Phillips.
Philadelphia > Toy Story
Road to perdition.
Forrest Gump
Big
He's not acted well in any other film I've seen him in.
Difficult one for me. I cant 'get' TH. Hard to explain. He did a bloody good job in Saving Private Ryan though
