Of that group, Sleepless In Seattle. But Big was his best film.
And although it sucked, it seems stupid to leave out Forrest Gump.

R1, No one likes Forrest Gump but you. It's a relic that would be laughed off the screen today.

I'm watching The 'Burbs right now and think it's the perfect sendup of those times, so I voted for it.

Excluding "Big" makes this poll utterly pointless.

Big. Or, maybe, Joe Versus the Volcano.

Y'all seem to want the most obvious choices. Why not think outside of the hideous boxes you live in?

Tom Hanks has made dozens of movies. What sort of person would choose Forrest Gump as his most notable? It's confounding.

The ones you chose are hardly highbrow, OP, and we're merely asking why you didn't include some of the most beloved ones along with them.

Big. I bet many of us here grew up with that movie.

R15, lol. They're not meant to be highbrow but to offer a cross section of Hanks' films. You're not very bright, are you?

Big, by a mile. OP is a retard.

You're hardly one to be commenting on the intelligence of others, OP, and it's not really a "cross section" when several of his best known films are absent from the poll.

For such a major star he has pretty weak filmography

R20, so you just want the most obvious choices without having to reconsider some of his films that weren't blockbusters. Got it, dumbass.

Big and Forrest Gump are unwatchable.

Big.

I'm not that person, but my answer would be that or none of them.
... because they're my grandchildren in your scenario.

No, "dumbass" trOllP, I already said in addition to your choices, not in place of them.

OP thinks of himself as too cultured to include Big in a poll about a white bread star who basically plays himself in every movie.
| by Anonymous | reply 26 | May 1, 2022 5:36 AM |
OP also posts a dumb poll, then cunts at everyone who calls him out on it.
Also, sorry, but anyone who thinks Big isn't a good movie is either a hopeless snob or a dumb twat, probably both.

I loved the bejezzus out of 'Joe Versus the Volcano'. Tom had that really thick, volcanic, curly hair at the time. He was hot.

R12 I've always loved The Money Pit.

The Money Pit and nothing else. He is hilarious when he's in a comedy, cannot stand to watch anything serious that he's in, so I have seen zero full screenings of his other movies.
Comedic actors should just do that! Stop trying to win Oscars! Just take your hilarity and keep making funny movies!

Bachelor Party, because it's also a time capsule of sexy Adrian Zmed.

Was Bachelor Party the movie that had the ladies out at the strip club and the stripper comes up with a "footlong and then some" and the woman keeps trying to pull the "hotdog" or was that from another movie?

R33, Hanks was fantastic in Philadephia, Captain Phillips, Cast Away, and the Mr. Rogers film. Talented actors can go back and forth between comedy and drama.

The Money Pit was and is poorly reviewed. I find it and Hanks and Shelley, very funny. Always Watchable. He's comic gold and very touching in BIG. But twice is enough for that film.
Hanks is OSCAR great in Castaway, Sleepless in Seattle and Saving Private Ryan.
I don't care for either of his actual Oscar winning roles or portrayals. He is always competent, often surprising - but with a lot of extra sauce. Cloying.
If people dislike Tom Hanks as an actor, they just dislike Tom Hanks. He is a pretty fine actor. Not much he can't do except play a heartthrob.
Tom should take some of the roles that Kevin Costner does so well later in life. It's a step down - but far more interesting work.

Not his best film but The Money Pit is my favorite, has a high rewatchability factor and Shelley Long.
