I know I totally enjoyed - The terminal. It has GOT to be one of my very favorites. Its funny, has a nice and different storyline, and it is a movie which can be seen and enjoyed by all – In short, it has a universal appeal to it. I know there are several more Tom Hanks movies I sooo enjoyed, but this one takes the cake ! So, tell me which is your fave Tom Hanks movie ?

I love tom Hanks and think all his movies are wonderful. Forest Gump was my all time favorite though, his acting was superb. I also liked hin in Saving Private Ryan and he did a great job in The Davinci code. I really did not think he would do so well in The Davici Code, so that was a surprise. He is just a great actor no matter what he is in.

I cant think of the name it where he was on the island by himself. Its about 3 or 4 years old. I liked that movie alot. Remember he had a basket ball and it was his friend and hewould talk to it all time.

The Terminal WAS great, but I think my all time favorite is still Forrest Gump. It had a little something for everyone and it was really a great story.

Oh I like several of his movies and picking just one would be hard. I loved him in the Da Vinci Code, The Green Mile, Toy Story..most that I've seen him in I've loved. He's a great actor and he does a fantastic job at protraying the different characters.

Tom Hanks has been in so many great films that it's difficult to pick just one favourite. I think the first film I ever saw him in was 'Big', I really enjoyed watching that as a child. 'Castaway' is also an amazing film, I was fascinated by how a film could be based around just one cast member. But i've got to say that my all time favourite film starring Tom Hanks has to be 'The Green Mile', it's such a unique, touching and heartwarming film, and is unlike anything i've seen before.

Tom hanks is a great actor in that he as crossed over from decade to decade without losing his appeal and ability to pic great movies, i remember years ago watching him in the movie "Big" and falling in love with him, but my favourite has got to be "Forrest Gump"

To be honest I'm not a great fan of Tom Hanks, but the film that impressed me was Green Mile, that was superb and very very sad, it was an excellent film and a film that I could watch again and again. It's probably one of the few films with Tom Hanks in it that I have bothered to watch.

The Money Pit has been my favorite money that he has done. Wonderful house with all those problems...whew! He has done several good movies and another good one was Splash! In fact that was the movie that launched his career I read somewhere. Enjoyed the Terminal too, he was pretty believeable.

For me its a tie between Forrest Gump and The Green Mile. I loved both the movies and he acted amazingly in both although Forrest Gump was a bigger role. I wouldnt mind watching either of those movies again
