http://www.tiscali.co.uk/... son and I had a discussion today about the best acting Tom Hanks ever did and my son said it was Forrest Gump, and I said it was Philadelphia story. In terms of best move, I will still say Philadelphia story, but of course you guys might like something different.

I look up his bio and I am so impressed, it turns out he won an oscar for both movies and it was the only time in 55 years of the oscars that anyone had done that.

He bio is amazing. He is currently the vice president of the oscars association. But you really need to read about his brilliant career.

What is your favourite Tom Hanks movie and why?

I am going to have to agree with your son on this one. My favorite Tom Hanks movie is "Forrest Gump". He played such an awesome part in that movie. You couldn't help but love his character. Tom Hanks is one of my all time favorite actors. I have seen almost all of his movies(except the Divinci Code. I wont watch that), some of them even more then once. He truly is one of the best actors out there.

It is so long since I have watched a movie,
I cannot remember the Tom Hanks movie's I have seen.
Once I have my TV and DVD player set up again,
I want to hire "Forrest Gump"
I have heard it was an excellent movie.

yes it is a wonderful movie, you have to see it.

Love Tom Hanks and would hate to choose since i love all of them and you forgot BIG too another fave!
Love how he gets so in character and really makes you feel like he's that person.

I love his movies! It's hard to say what my favourite is, and I know I haven't seen all of them, so I can't give a fully educated answer.

Of the movies I can think of, I think my favourite would be "The Green Mile". I just love that movie! I also really enjoyed The DaVinci Code. Granted, in both cases, it was the story I really enjoyed. I'm not so sure I liked them all because of Tom Hanks.

My first experience with Tom in the movies was with "Big". Now THAT is a good movie! I thought he did such a fantastic job of being a kid in an adult's body. Granted, I think many men would be able to do that much more easily than any woman I know. roflmao!

green mile was a favorite of mine and so was turner and hooch as well, I just loved that movie.

I guess my favorite Tom Hanks movie would be Apollo 13. That movie had a really great cast, and of course he was one of them. He has been in some really great ones, although I haven't seen every single one. He's great in drama, comedy, or romance (Sleepless in Seattle). But I guess Apollo 13 is my favorite Tom Hanks movie.

My all time favorite is definitely Forrest Gump. He was just so cute and sweet in this movie. The only part of the movie that I can not watch is the war scene. It is too much for me.
I also liked "The Green Mile." Even though he worked in a death row prison, he still managed to play a very compassionate and nice role. I can not watch the end of this movie because I feel that that big guy was innocent. I also hate it when they kill the mentally slow guy.


myLot reputation of 93/100. winterose (17896)   ranked 470 out of 35,448 in people  2 years ago

yes I agree that part with the slow guy was so hard to watch. I loved the green mile too.

First thing. The movie is Philadelphia not Philadelphia Story, that is the movie starring Katherine Hepburn.I don't want you to go to rent one and get the other.

I think his best film was Philadelphia but you asked what is my favorite. My favorite is Bachelor Party.It is a typical zany comedy from the 80's. It isn't profound but I do love it.

thanks hon, for the correction, I didn't realize my error.

I had visions of you getting home or Net Flixing the wrong film. Thanks for the best response.

I have seen quite a few Tom Hanks movies but I would have to say that my favborite one has to be Forest Gump. I felt so sorry for him being made fun of with his condition but it was nice to see the girl he liked when he was younger, still liked him too.

It certainly was a great movie.
