Forrest Gump

Tom Hanks top ten movies thus far in my opinion….im sure there will be plenty more in the future that will be noteworthy as well. In fact this list was so hard to assemble, so many of them are great….

Cheers for any answers

This is a hard question to answer.

Forest Gump

Cast Away….though I’ve never seen the last five minutes of that movie. Something always happens…The last time I tried to watch it, the power went out.

Sleepless in Seattle

Big

Sleepless in Seattle

Big

I’m surprised no one has said "Punchline" (1988), the edgiest performance Hanks has ever given. He plays an aspiring stand-up comic who kills onstage but whose personal life is a mess (disapproving dad who doesn’t know he’s dropped out of medical school to try to make it in showbiz; hopelessly unrequited crush on married fellow comic Sally Field). His stand-up scenes are funny, caustic, and brilliant, not just when he’s good, but also when he flops — you can practically smell the desperation. It was probably the last time (until "The Ladykillers") that he successfully played a guy who wasn’t a lovable Everyman.

ANother underrated Hanks movie I like is "Volunteers" (1985). Very funny, with great support from wife-to-be Rita Wilson and John Candy.

The Green Mile!

Tom Hanks is definitely one of my favourite actors.

I have to stay with FORREST GUMP for Hanks (as much as I adore his movies with Meg Ryan)
For Sandler, I’ll go with "50 First Dates"…though I’ve truly enjoyed so many more……..

Sleepless in Seattle and 50 first dates

I think it is so funny and touching, I only watched it on saturday and Im watching it again.

It’s brilliant!!! it’s sweet, funny and yeah, really touching bless him!! I’ve seen it about 3 times but could easily watch it loads more!!

"bite to eat" "bite to eat" "bite to eat"

So funny!!!!!

At the very start of the film the young Josh is playing a computer game where he gets frozen and its says,
"with any luck you’ll thaw in the next 10,000 years" or something like that. .

What game is that?

I just found this on the web page that discusses the game Quest for Glory on Wikipedia. I’m quoting the text here:

Is this the original Quest for Glory, the game seen in the opening scene of the Tom Hanks film Big? Or is it another similar game?

I’ve never seen the movie, but I googled the script.

"You are standing in the cavern of the evil wizard. All around you are the carcasses of slain ice dwarfs…Melt the wizard. What do you want to melt him with? What do you think I want to melt him with…(Josh, don’t forget to take out the garbage) Just a second! Throw the…(Josh, did you hear what your mother said?) One minute! (Josh Baskin!) Your hesitancy has cost you dearly. The wizard, sensing your apprehension, unleashes a fatal blow from the ice scepter. With luck, you will thaw in several million years. Great."
Sounds like more of a text-based game to me, is that what you were referring to? Someone else investigating this issue online concluded that since the game in the movie isn’t credited to any company in particular, it must have been made for the movie itself.
