[Luschient]

The Burbs and Money Pit not on the "notable" list?

For shame.

 

[New Fang]

Man, what a career. Hard to choose a favorite.

I guess I'd go with Big, as young and fun Tom Hanks was just so much, well, fun.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

The Burbs and Money Pit not on the "notable" list?

For shame.

Money Pit is the most tonally dissonant movie I've watched in a long time.

Sleepless in Seattle
You've Got Mail
A League of Their Own
Toy Story 2

 

[ScaleboundGOTY]

A league of their own for sure. Thats some good peein!

 

[TheBeardedOne]

No Sleepless in Seattle? That's one of my favourites, if not my favourite.

So many of those movies are really good, though. The Toy Story trilogy, Big, Forrest Gump, The Green Mile, Catch Me if you Can, Road to Perdition...

I recently watched Turner and Hootch for the first time and enjoyed that a lot, too.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Toughie. Overall maybe Road to Perdition.

Good gangster movie with Hanks trying something different, great cinematography, and a soundtrack I still listen to.

 

[Lord Fagan]

Dragnet, obviously.

 

[Dook's Revenge]

Splash or Bachelor Party.

 

[Zushin]

So damn hard to choose. Probably The Green Mile or SPR if I had to choose.

 

[cirr]

mazes and monsters
it has it all

drama, monsters, rpg mechanics, comedy. oh, and satan

 

[Prolepro]

Please dont be a creep...

Hard to choose.

Cant go wrong with Saving Private Ryan.

Green Mile is the only movie to make me cry though.

 

[HStallion]

Turner and Hooch of course

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

Big.

 

[machine]

Bachelor Party or Joe versus the Volcano

 

[Fancy Clown]

Toy Story

 

[Username1198]

Easily saving private ryan. My dad who rarely took us to movies as a kid, took me my bro and sis to see it and he she's a tear at the end. Pretty epic, since he's a rock that never cries.

 

[Whitemex]

No Turner and Hooch on the list?

My favorite is Gump for the serious stuff and The Burbs for his comedy

 

[nate]

Turner and hooch, cause it has dogs

 

[TaterTots]

Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, The Green Mile and Castaway are a 4 way tie for me. I cannot pick. I will say The Burbs makes me feel the most warm and fuzzy.

 

[Violence Jack]

Where's Turner and Hooch?

For me, it's Catch Me If You Can.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Easily Apollo 13.

 

[LegendarySkitch]

That Thing You Do! is one of my favorite movies of all time. I literally took half of my username from a throwaway joke in it.

 

[Dook's Revenge]

mazes and monsters
it has it all

drama, monsters, rpg mechanics, comedy. oh, and satan

Rolled a natural 20 for stealth edit.

 

[FTF]

Saving Private Ryan or Catch Me if You Can.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Catch Me If You Can, although he's not one of my favorite parts of it.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Money Pit and Volunteers.
Wish he'd do another Comedy.

 

[Burrman]

Prob toy story or cast away.

One of the best actors o all time easily

 

[Mona]

im going Forrest Gump

 

[nachum00]

Toy Story

Don't actually care for most of the movies you listed

 

[Skid 4]

Catch Me If You Can is probably my favorite movie, one of my favorite movies ever. Everyone should read that book. Toy Story is probably my favorite performance of his. However, solely because of Tom Hanks I would say Larry Crowne is probably my favorite.

 

[Kill3r7]

Saving Private Ryan - for facilitating the existence of Band of Brothers.

Edit: Road to Perdition is underrated.

whew, cut it close!

 

[liquidtmd]

Turner and Hooch and Big I adored as a child

As an adult...I realise they aren't technically the best but probably Dragnet and Joe Vs The Volcano

I appreciate him generally in most of his roles.

 

[Jmdajr]

That's a fucking tough one....but I'm gonna say Forrest Gump.

 

[DragonKeeper]

The Money Pit is still my favorite movie comedy.

 

[RespectThySole]

Catch Me If You Can

 

[The Unsent]

It's Toy Story 1 (or any of them), revolutionary movie, very re-watchable with great lines.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Band of Brothers

Spoiler

But also maybe Cast Away

 

[Bitanator]

Lieutenant Dan, Ice Cream!

Has to be Forest Gump. After that I would rank

Big
Catch me if you can
Saving Private Ryan
Cast away

 

[Transistor]

Not gonna lie, I think The Terminal is my favorite. He just fucking nailed that role

 

[Mugy]

Doe sthe Green Mile counts? because is that one

 

[Saganator]

Tough one for sure. Probably Saving Private Ryan or Cast Away.

 

[Smurf]

Forrest Gump

 

[ThanksgivingDinner]

The space goes...
down down baby, down down the roller coaster.
Sweet sweet baby, sweet sweet don't let me go.
shimmy shimmy coco pop, shimmy shimmy rock,
shimmy shimmy coco pop, shimmy shimmy rock
I met a girlfriend- a triscuit,
she said a triscuit-a biscuit,
ice cream soda pop
vanilla on the top
oooo Shalida, walking down the street,
ten times a week
I meant it. I said it.
I stole my mama's credit.
I'm cool. I'm hot.
Sock you in the stomach three more times.

 

[hobblygobbly]

Apollo 13 for me, but I like The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Road to Perdition, and Forrest Gump which would make up my (unordered) top 5.

 

[Bor Gullet]

I didn't realize we had so many Turner and Hooch fans lol. I think it's one of Hanks worst movies, but regardless of my opinion it's not a notable work.

 

[thecouncil]

The Burbs

 

[kmfdmpig]

Road to Perdition or Saving Private Ryan for me, although Big and The Money Pit are guilty pleasures as well.

 

[bionic77]

Castaway, Catch me if you can, Toy Story (all of them), the movie where he is stuck in the airport and Big.

I can't believe how badly Forrest Gump has aged. I loved that movie so much when it came out and now it seems so cheesy. I might concede that is from my own tastes changing, but I don't really like it anymore.
