Forrest Gump, The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia, Apollo 13, The 'Burbs, Big... - all unthinkable without his acting. _________________ "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

Of course he had some good roles but if I look at him I always see Tom Hanks. This might sound strange but for example a Pacino or DeNiro they fit perfectly in their roles. DeNiro in Raging Bull is just perfect, you consider him as a boxer. He looks like a boxer, trains like a boxer and later he is fat like the real person. But you never look at him like "oh ok thats just DeNiro playing himself", and this is the feeling I always have with Hanks movies. I always look at him thinking "ah ok he is just playing it in his typical Hanks style".

Some of his roles are unforgettable, but basically just because he fits that good in this kind of roles. _________________ "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

Unlike some other actors (e.g. deNiro, pacino, depp) whose acting is that good that I forget that they are actors when I watch a moviel only exception is of course Forrest Gump which is just great in every sense _________________ the owls are not what they seem..........

Also a Dan Brown book. Can't wait for that one! "Angels and Demons" is a great book! Not a huge Hanks fan, but I did like him in Forrest Gump and as Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code.

Pearls such as Forrest Gump, Philadelphia, Catch me if you can, Green Mile... _________________ "One man writes a novel. One man writes a symphony.
