    Shout out to other roles Hanks had in Money Pit, The Burbs, Splash, League of Their Own, Turner & Hooch, Dragnet, he was one of the best comedic actors of the 80s. Funny dude. Still is too. He can do anything.
    Yeah, Burbs and Money Pit were hilarious. He was funny in his tv roles as well in Bosom Buddies, appearances on Family Ties and Happy Days.

    his comedies were awesome. Bachelor Party, and the two you mentioned above were great as well. The Burbs was awesome. I even liked Big.

    If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It's not tragic to die doing what you love.

    Big is so underrated.
    it really is. I love that movie, and I thought he was very good in it. Sleepless in Seattle in another movie I thought we was good in. Honestly, Hanks is one of the better actors out there.

    I always make sure to watch his appearances on Conan and Letterman. he is always hilarious when they have him on. I wish he would do another comedy. I know he wants to be a serious actor, but man he was so good in those. And he still has great comedic timing.

    I went with Big, easily the most memorable to me. I've never been a huge Forest Gump fan.

    I love The Terminal. I think it was a pretty difficult role and he nailed it. But he's Tom Hanks, I don't think there could really be a bad choice.

    I'm very surprised that Philadelphia isn't getting much love. That's the one I picked, but obviously, it's hard to go wrong with Tom Hanks. My 1B choice would be Capt Miller in Saving Private Ryan.

    I went with Forrest Gump, he was just amazing in that role, Castaway was by far his 2nd best acting job for me. I agree he played a great character in Philadelphia
