Let's talk about Tom Hanks. I cannot say that Mr. Hanks is one of my favorite actors per se, but do I respect his talent? Absolutely. In fact, I can admit that he is probably one of the top 5 most talented actors working today, and I think that shows if you look at his trophy case and choices of roles.
There's a lot to like about Tom Hanks, and as such I feel he deserves one of my patented top 5 lists.
"Hi, my name's Forrest, Forrest Gump." It should not come as a surprise that this movie makes the cut, as any list of Tom Hanks films (or best of lists from the 1990s) that failed to include this movie would simply put, be wrong.
Tom Hanks delivered another incredible acting performance in the movie Cast Away. While this film did not receive the Academy Award nominations it strove for, it is an unbelievable showcase of talent, as Hanks is the only actor in the majority of the film.
One other great movie of his is of course, Saving Private Ryan. Any time you put Spielberg and Hanks together, you are going to get a quality movie. Any time you put Spielberg in charge of directing a WWII film, and you are likely to have a masterpiece.
Another great film starring Tom Hanks which you may or may not have seen is A League Of Their Own. This film focuses on an all girls baseball league that is formed during World War II when all the men are off at war.
Finally, I feel the need to mention is Toy Story. As the voice of Woody, Tom Hanks gave us the first iconic CGI character. He has reprised this role in the two films since and you have to wonder if these movies would be so great without him.
Hopefully there is one or more Tom Hanks films on this list which you have not yet seen and now feel compelled to do so.
