If we want to make an argument or top 10 list of the best actors of all time, one actor that you can certainly make an argument for is Tom Hanks.
Ever since his role in Splash, he has been one of the objectively likable guys working in Hollywood.
He just seems like a good person and I feel that resonates through his roles.
This article will highlight some of my favorite Tom Hanks movies of all time.
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.
Tom Hanks delivered another incredible acting performance in the movie Cast Away.
While this film did not receive the Academy Award nominations it strived for, it is an unbelievable showcase of talent, as Hanks is the only actor in the majority of the film.
In Philadelphia, Hanks stars a homosexual defendant who must pair up with a homophobic lawyer played by Denzel Washington.
This movie nabbed Hanks the Academy Award for Best Actor In A Leading Role, a very much-deserved accolade.
Another movie of his that should be on any top 5 list would be Apollo 13.
This movie was an iconic film at the time and Hanks was one of the many reasons why.
"Houston, we have a problem.
" Another movie that I have a special affinity for is Turner and Hooch.
Growing up, I had a Dogue De Bordeaux, which is the type of dog that Hooch was.
Subsequently, this was a family favorite of ours.
These are just a few of the incredible films that Tom Hanks has starred in through the years.
Do not limit yourself to these five, however, since most of his films are quality.
