Best Tom Hanks Movie

[pres2032]

Poll question: Best Tom Hanks Movie

[Lavender Brown]

1. Big!

[Beaverhausen]

2. Oh Big was great. The Terminal was good too but I voted for Philadelphia

[Sympleesmshn]

17. I voted Saving Private Ryan

but I agree The Terminal was good, but it just dragged in a few places and he should have caught up with her at the end.

[Lautremont]

3. Four episodes of 'Bosom Buddies' strung together

beats any one of these movies.

[RPM]

4. his dialogue in castaway was his best ever.

i rather enjoyed not having him talk for a long stretch of the film

[Lindacooks]

5. Joe vs. the Volcano

Yes, I know it was a bad film - that's the point! It's a fun movie, campy, totally ridiculous and great to watch.

[underpants]

8. "Have you thought much about luggage sir?"

"It is the central preoccupation of my life"

"May you live to be a THOUSAND years old sir"

[fairfaxvadem]

10. Love Joe vs. the Volcano!

And Volunteers!! Those early ones were definitely campy and funny.

Can't compare them to the ultimate Hanks film: Philadelphia.

Which is why I chose Other...

And The Green Mile gets special attention. Fascinating movie.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. The whole brain cloud thing had me in stitches.

:hi:

[Mr. McD]

6. Splash

Not a big Tom Hanks fan but I do like Daryl Hannah

[JohnKleeb]

7. damnit I like a lot of those

[underpants]

9. "It's written in the hedges oustside of Disney-DON'T KILL THE DOG!!!'

Hanks on Letterman talking about "Turner and Hooch"

Not my favorite but a memorable appearance.

[Beaverhausen]

11. The Money Pit had some classic Hanks moments although...

...the movie overall wasn't that great.

[blondeatlast]

20. The scene where he's stuck in the floor still makes me giggle after

about 50 times of seeing it.

[BOSSHOG]

12. "There's no crying in Baseball"

[Ready4Change]

13. Saving Private Ryan?

I doubt it would get many votes here on DU, but its a promiment movie of his.

BTW, I voted for "League of Their Own" and still would have if "Ryan" were in the Poll.

[pres2032]

14. sorry, totally missed that one

it's on now

[tjwash]

15. Why is it, that in every Tom Hanks movie, he has to have one scene...

...in which he is taking a wizz?

I always thought that was strange.

[demon67]

16. Nothing in Common

I don't know why I liked it so much, I just did.

[bigwillq]

18. SPR. The only movie I thought Hanks was good in

He's a real nice guy but I think he's overrated as an actor.

[CandyCrim21]

21. The Burbs

Even though its one of those stupid movies with absolutely no meaning I love it. I never get tired of that one!;)

[jmowreader]

22. I loved him in Dragnet

[NewJeffCT]

23. Bachelor Party

Lots of hot naked women and goofy humor. What more can you ask?

[flamingyouth]

26. And the Fleshtones had a song in it!

:D

[Parche]

24. tom hanks

they were all great,

His best speech was at the oscars after he won for Philadelphia
I had tears in my eyes on that one......

he is one of my favorite actors

[tralfaz]

25. Joe vs the volcano

[WI_DEM]

27. My favorite is "Apollo 13" girlfriend likes "Sleepless in Seattle"

But gosh he has made lots of good movies.

[sakabatou]

28. If TV movies count

than Band of Brothers... He was in it, right?
