I think, nay I know, Tom Hanks is one of the best actors of our time. As a tribute, the following are my top 10 Tom Hanks movies of all time. This was inspired by a buddy that spontaneously sent me his top 10 Sylvester Stallone movies via text message a few days ago, coupled with the fact that we ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp over the weekend. Assembling a top 10 of Tom’s movies is one of the more difficult things I’ve ever had to do. Here’s my best shot, I had to shortcut by combining the Toy Story movies, but I could make an argument for all of the honorable mentions to be in the top 10 and it’s painful to not list some of his movies because they’re all so good.
1. Forrest Gump
2. Cast Away
3. Big
4. Saving Private Ryan
5. Splash
6. Philadelphia
7. Toy Story 1,2, & 3
8. Apollo 13
9. The Green Mile
10. The Burbs
Honorable Mentions: You’ve Got Mail, A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, That Thing You Do, Catch Me If you Can, Polar Express, Radio Flyer, Money Pit, Turner & Hooch
