Tom Hanks movies are more interesting than Tom Cruise movies.. Especially Forrest Gump and Cast Away.. Although I do like Top Gun but as actors Tom hanks beats Tom cruise in my books.

Which do you prefer?

I guess I'd have to say Tom Hanks before Tom Cruise. There's just something...off about him - and I can't place it. I'm not sure what it is. Tom Hanks is at least a more.. relatable guy (if that's a word). I like him You've Got Mail happy

I reccomend that you watch Cast Away, Saving Private Ryan and Forrest Gump. Those are classic movies that you have to watch!rasp

I used to be a fan of both the Toms. However, I think they have both gone down hill in the recent years. I was a big fan of Hank's earlier stuff, like Big, The Burbs, and Turner and Hooch. I also love Top Gun.

I lost interest in Tom Cruise when he became a scientoligist! But I do agree with you that they have lost their "it" factor.. well that really is the movies these days.. not as eye catching as they used to be glare

My vote is Tom Hanks. I like Cruise movies fine. But Hanks is one of my favorites. He has been since Bosom Buddies.

Hello jellymonty, I much prefer Tom Hanks movies over Tom Cruise movies. Tom Hanks seemed more like a comedic actor but when he acted in Philadelphia I saw a serious actor.He proved he could play any type of role in the movies.

Tom or Tom?

Well I think Tom Cruise is an excellent actor and I have great admiration for him playing alongside Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. Not an easy part to play and he was outstanding as second fiddle. I think he is very watchable and definitely an 'A' list.

However, Tom Hanks is someone rather extra special. I don't think I have seen him in a bad movie and he has that sort of charisma that makes you watch him regardless. I love Cast Away, where he mainly played it alone, but also Green Mile, Big and many more movies which just had me enthralled.

Hanks for sure! thumbup

I loved Tom Cruise in his hay days.. the top gun, rain man, and the first mission impossible.. but for some reason he annoys me!! Hanks on the other hand is a brilliant actor and all his movies are worth watching unlike cruisey boy he really has been doing some awful acting lately, like War of the Worlds.. my goodness I almost died with anger and regret watching that.. 2 hours of my life wasted that I'll never get back! angry


myLot reputation of 98/100. Scoop_Dogg (1934)   ranked 217 out of 11,471 in watching movies  7 months ago

I agree with you on War of the World's but I have enjoyed ALL of the Mission Impossible Trilogy. thumbup

I don't know whether you go to the cinema to watch the movies, but I prefer to watch them on dvd at home. To ensure you never completely waste your viewing time, you need to have close at hand - good company, a bottle of your favourite tipple and a selection of your favourite nibbles. Oh, and if you are like my wife, a box of hankies too. cry

Back to Tom Hanks. I think he is miscast in the Dan Brown movies. I have read both of the books and so far only seen The Da Vinci Code, but he wasn't who I imagined playing the part of Robert Langdon. What are your thoughts? ninja

Hi jellymonty, Without thinking TOM HANKS!! Better in acting and even better to see in cinema or Television. I do not really like Tom Cruise and I hated him more when I saw him on the Oprah Show he was very fake. I will go for Tom Hanks of course. This is nice question and I hope Tom Cruise fans would not rate me negative lol Thank you for the response and have a great day!happy

I know, I too thought he was annoying on Oprah.. But I think Tom Hanks wins this discussion!wink

I prefer Tom Hanks over Tom Cruise! I have seen some of Tom Cruise's movies and most of them I have seen or stupid like Far and Away or just did not like,Jerry McGuire! Rain Man is the only Tom Cruise movie I like. Tom Hanks is my favorite actor! I love him in Forrest Gump, Philadelphia,Apollo 13 and Saving Private Ryan! Tom Hanks has 2 Oscars and Cruise none! Tom Cruise is strange! Tom Hanks is a great actor and I'll watch his movies over Cruise any day of the week! Hands down!

Tom hanks for me because firstly I love all his movies and his performance is too brilliant for me, he is an actor whom I prefer a lot especially in Forest Gump, I remember I had to lie to my grandpa saying that the tution will end a bit late while I was in the theatre to watch the movie with my two friends.
