The Most Memorable Tom Hanks Performances In His Career
Let’s talk about Tom Hanks. I cannot say that Mr. Hanks is one of my favorite actors per se, but do I respect his talent? Absolutely. In fact, I can admit that he is probably one of the top 5 most talented actors working today, and I think that shows if you look at his trophy case and choices of roles.
This article will highlight what I consider to be the best Tom Hanks movies.
The surefire film that would make any list of great Tom Hanks movies is Forrest Gump. This is probably his most notable role of all time and with good reason, he perfected this role as no one else could.
Another great movie of this incredibly talented actor is Catch Me If You Can. Steven Spielberg directs this cat and mouse drama that also stars Leonardo DiCaprio as the real life crook Frank Abagnale, Jr.
One movie that certainly deserves to be on this list is Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg and Hanks teamed up to create what many call the most important World War II movie ever made. The first scene of this movie recreates the Battle At Normandy Beach and is very hard to watch.
One Tom Hanks movie that may not have gotten the mainstream praise which it deserved was The Green Mile. Hanks plays a jail guard who patrols a special prisoner on death row. This is an amazing movie.
Finally, I feel the need to mention is Toy Story. As the voice of Woody, Tom Hanks gave us the first iconic CGI character. He has reprised this role in the two films since and you have to wonder if these movies would be so great without him.
Hopefully there is one or more Tom Hanks films on this list which you have not yet seen and now feel compelled to do so.
