Norma Jean

his best acting job? the best done film? or our favorite?
Cinemaddiction
"Cast Away", IMO. But voice talent wise, "Toy Story", naturally.
RavenNightstar
Good question! There's a different answer for all three for most people.
His best acting job must have been Forrest Gump! The best done film would have to be Saving Private Ryan. As for my favourite, it's a toss up between Forrest Gump (god, I love that movie) or Money Pit! I couldn't stop laughing at the part where he's stuck in the floor, making airplanes out of dollar bills!

That, and the bathtub going through the floor!
Poor man!

Road to Perdition, Splash, The Money Pit, Turner and Hooch, The Burbs(one of my favourites), Philadelphia are some I like.

I chose Forrest Gump, but i cant wait to see him in The Davinci Code, or i think hes the guy thats going to be in it
WindDancer
Forrest Gump is his most famous role. But I'll say Road to Perdetion was his best film.

I'm shocked Apollo 13 even made it as one of the poll choices. I would have been less surprised if all five choices were The Terminal.
PunisherFan33
tom hanks was the shi* in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
Myth
I chose Gump but Cast Away is a close 2nd.
Abbita
i like the green mile

Myth
Where's the Ladykillers?
BlondeBombshell
I totally agree, he was just MAGNIFICENT in Road to Perdition. I really love that film. Tom Hanks was so good in that. He is really great though in everything. A great actor.
Also, I did LOVE Sleepless in Seattle... I am a chick...
KillTheLight
Big.... followed closely by Forest Gump
PunkyTurtle101

Forrest gump, apollo 13, cast away, saving private ryan then terminal. IF you count voices toy story is one his best!
kanis

Mine would have to be Forest Gump and Apollo thirteen because they are both good movies and Toy story one and two are one of the best things he has ever done.
Jackie Malfoy
I would say "Money Pit" and "Vocteers" and "Spash!"JM
golden moon
all his films are fantastic! I love his acting! I watched the terminal yesterday wow he was great!
bakerboy
One of the most talent actors today. Its very difficult to choice, but ill said forrest gump. With saving private ryan in a close second.

Forrest Gump, Cast Away, Saving Private Ryan, The Burbs

Forrest Gump is the best one, and although I dont like Castaway there is very good acting in it, it makes me cry when he loses the volleyball thing.

The Road To Perdition and Green Mile were good, neither were good because of him. I have a very low opinion of Tom Hanks as an actor.
Wolfie
I can't believe I forgot The Burbs! Classic!
pr1983
cast away imo... stunning... one man on screen for so long and still watchable...
dizzyblondegirl

wookie_pimp
what about the GREEN MILE
fini

Personally I would think that 'Polar Express' would be one of Hank's best films because of how it was made and how many characters he played.
But from the poll I would have to either pick 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'The terminal'. 'SPR' I liked mainly for the other actors in it and the fact that the story was based around true events. Hanks does play an emotional character too; so it helps to set the scene more. And the 'terminal' was just funny!
erict
Anyone know about his first TV appearence? He played Jim Ignitowski's stoner roommate 'Gordon' in a flashback episode of 'Taxi'. Gordon was the one that turned 'Reverend Jim' into a burnout!

Fëanor
what happened to 'Big'?
ChickinMeat
I dont know really, i like Tom Hanks in all his movies, but for this poll ill vote Private Ryan

"Forrest Gump" is clearly one of Tom Hanks' better films, though it is not saying much.
He did a good job, no doubt, but this story could have been done a lot better.
