Tom Hanks' finest performance?

He is a great actor, but I really do like him more in his comedic roles.

Everything that he does when he is stuck in the floor is hilarious.
But my favorite is when the tub falls through the floor and he laughs for a full 30 seconds. I almost cry every time I see that scene. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

A better drama or comedy actor?

Pfft.

Joe vs. The Volcano was clearly Hanks' best performance.

Actually, he's significantly better at drama than he is at comedy. I have to say, his performance in Saving Private Ryan is probably his best. Behind that (or maybe tied) are Road To Perdition and Philadelphia

clearly a better drama actor, but he can hold his own at comedies.

I HEAR YOU LAUGHING IN THERE, I'M NEVER COMING BACK HERE!


definitely a great movie. Hanks' finest performance? nah

i think that castaway is one of his best performances, it's really hard to do an entire movie with only a volleyball as your main target for dialogue for most of it.

not his best movie, but a great performance.

Okay, fine, he was a little better in Saving Private Ryan and Castaway. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

His best movie is Big. But Money Pit is pretty good. This was back in the good old days before he sold out and did a lame Robinson Crusoe remake and jumped on the Redsox lamewagon, I mean bandwagon.

I haven't seen it since it first came out (20 years ago?) but I recall thinking it was one of the worst movies I had seen in a long time.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think Hanks' performance in Forrest Gump actually showed that he is a fine dramatic actor.

I really couldn't stand Philadelphia. I don't see any groundbreaking acting going on there.

The Road To Perdition was good, but overhyped. He was good.

Saving Private Ryan was a great movie, and he was very good in it.

Castaway was a bad movie, but Hanks was really good in it.

Big was his best movie.

The Money Pit is only funny when the ciontractor is speeding away with I Gotta Be Me blaring on his car stereo.

Standup was awful.

I think he should have had his SAG card revoked for even making the movie You've Got Mail, as mercenary as it was to basically rewrite and remake Sleepless in Seattle and then actually put Meg Ryan in it with him. Blecch.

I can't believe all the ripping on Money Pit!

Watch it again and again and again.

If there's anything funnier than a turkey being shot out of the oven and across the estate and flying through the opposite window, i'd like to see it.

There is no movie with Tom Hanks in it that I particularly like.
