Tom Hanks Favorites

Let's start with the ones that garnered Tom Hanks all those Oscar nominations and wins: Big, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away.

Then you can't miss the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan Rom-Com Trilogy: You've Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle and Joe Versus the Volcano.

"Failure is not an option" Apollo 13 - One of our all-time favorite movies with one of our all-time favorite movie lines.

Speaking of space - Tom Hanks had producing/acting/directing duties in the HBO miniseries From The Earth To The Moon. A very interesting take on the US Space program of the 1960's.

That Thing You Do! is fun and we can tell you from experience ... it definitely holds up over MULTIPLE viewings.

A really good movie that was a bit overlooked ... Road to Perdition. Worth a look if only to see acting greats Tom Hanks and Paul Newman strut their stuff.

There's no crying in baseball ... Tom Hank's stole the movie in his supporting role as alcoholic coach Jimmy Dugan in A League of Their Own.

Lots of laughs and a nice message about friendship in Toy Story and Toy Story 2.
