Help me pick a Tom Hanks movie!
Added 2021-07-17 16:00:06 +0000 UTCHey guys!
Help me pick another movie to watch. I have a feeling I know which one will win, but let's see if I'm right...
The reason you don't see some classics like Forest Gump, Big and Castaway on here is because I've seen them (and adore them). I'd love to revisit them in the future, but wanted to watch something new for this time.

I agree with Paula Barr, Joe vs The Volcano is one of my favorite Tom Hank movies.
Eric Chunn
2021-10-20 22:48:13 +0000 UTCSaving Private Ryan isn't on this list, and technically Hanks isn't in Band Of Brothers (only produced it with Spielberg) but it is a great TV series, with WW2 as a background to great character development and heart breaking emotional situations. No dragons in sight tho.
Niall
2021-09-24 16:06:59 +0000 UTCJoe vs The Volcano. It has the added bonus of Meg Ryan playing three very different characters. Even though it isn’t on your list, I think you would enjoy it sometime in the future.
Paula Barr
2021-08-29 20:01:29 +0000 UTCDidn't see this in the recommendations, but I definitely suggest Tom Hanks film 'The Terminal'
Arthur Bridges
2021-08-10 03:14:53 +0000 UTC'Splash' would have been a fun inclusion to the list
JohnnyBGoode
2021-07-23 18:41:56 +0000 UTCWhy do I always end up voting for the least popular movie 🤷♂️
Ryder
2021-07-22 05:06:36 +0000 UTCI think Nats reaction to the green Mile is going to be incredible!!!!
Kyle
2021-07-22 03:54:38 +0000 UTCwhere is captain phillips
jamie jones
2021-07-21 09:45:50 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile is one of those movies that, whenever it's on TV, I drop everything to watch it again.
Kassandra Jeffery
2021-07-20 11:42:07 +0000 UTCFor the record, the Catch Me If You Can novel is SO much better than the movie. The novel is a true story, whereas the movie uses creative license for the audiences entertainment. Reality truly is stranger than fiction..
Darren Withers
2021-07-20 05:59:36 +0000 UTCWe just did a Stephen King-based movie, the Shawshank Redemption. Let's skip the Green Mile for now.
2021-07-20 03:47:44 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile. A Stephen King story like no other.
Lee Ventura
2021-07-20 00:18:44 +0000 UTCIt might return in a poll someday (i hope)
R.BGames37
2021-07-19 21:25:01 +0000 UTCWow I cannot believe Philadelphia is in last...not only is Tom Hanks amazing in that movie but also Denzel Washington....Nat...even if it doesn't win you HAVE TO WATCH IT
Guy-on-Couch
2021-07-19 20:49:55 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile, 1000%. Word of advice, HAVE LOTS OF TISSUES ON HAND. Trust me, you'll need them. I generally don't cry at movies and even *I* tear up at this movie.
Thundarr100
2021-07-19 19:35:58 +0000 UTCAnd another early, comedic roll is The 'Burbs. It's a near classic that's a must watch during October.
Gerald Corona
2021-07-19 19:34:20 +0000 UTCWow, low turnout for Philadelphia; great film though. That said, Green Mile is definitely the best on this list for reactions
Peter Hudson
2021-07-19 18:26:44 +0000 UTCYou have bad taste in movies
Derik Knutson
2021-07-19 17:40:00 +0000 UTCBoring list of films🙄. I ain't watchin none of em. Guess I'll wait for a better poll😔
Stoned Misthios
2021-07-19 17:12:38 +0000 UTCHey Nat, not sure if you’ve seen Interstellar, if you haven’t then I definitely recommend it
Nicholas Rice
2021-07-19 16:23:28 +0000 UTCWhen they make Rush Hour 4, hopefully they will.
Paul Gibbons
2021-07-19 15:03:47 +0000 UTCA Jet Li or Jackie Chan Marathon.. that would be cool to.. True Martial Arts movies. The One. (Jet Li) Legend of the Dunken Master. (Jackie Chan) Fearless (Jet Li) Unleased. (Jet Li) Rush Hour 1-3 (Also Comedy) (Jackie Chan) Shanghai Noon / Shanghai Knights (Also Comedy, Jackie Chan) The Forbidden Kingdom (Jet Li & Jackie Chan)
R.BGames37
2021-07-19 14:38:36 +0000 UTCAnd "the 'burbs"!
Vega
2021-07-19 13:49:26 +0000 UTCAfter this Tom Hank’s venture please look into The Money Pit. One of the overlooked ones imo. 😁
2021-07-19 13:34:31 +0000 UTCI think cause A. its a lot of the same viewers on diff channels B. Reactors see what's getting views on other channels C. certain films like Green Mile lend themselves to reactions and were popular if you picked Cloud Atlas/Circle/Terminal etc don't and wouldn't get the views.
Paul Gibbons
2021-07-19 10:47:02 +0000 UTCYEP second that

2021-07-19 10:33:43 +0000 UTCLOL
Paul Gibbons
2021-07-19 10:32:35 +0000 UTCI think there was alot of moaning about the length and the sentimentality.
Paul Gibbons
2021-07-19 10:31:30 +0000 UTCFunny you said the Burbs it's the Hanks film i've seen the most times even got the Special Edition Blu Ray.
Paul Gibbons
2021-07-19 10:30:01 +0000 UTCshe said, she seen Forest Gump already.. and it might come later.. She wants something she has not seen before.. So.
R.BGames37
2021-07-19 06:57:55 +0000 UTCForrest Gump!!!
2021-07-19 02:52:30 +0000 UTCAll of these are good so I win no matter what wins, but I'm voting for Phily because it's the underdog right now. And hell, it's pride week here in San Diego.
YodatheHobbit
2021-07-18 23:04:11 +0000 UTCI know It creates one more layer of TODO but a runoff for the 1st and 2nd players seems in order. There are 650 people that voted for neither.
chicks dig me
2021-07-18 22:52:46 +0000 UTCIf you Apollo 13 and have fingernails, prepare to bite them!
Kris Webb
2021-07-18 20:41:41 +0000 UTCI enjoyed Green Mile, but I have to say, I think Apollo 13 or Catch Me if You Can are more interesting movies to react to.
TwistedMagoo
2021-07-18 20:01:07 +0000 UTCIf you do watch the green mile be ready to have a lot of tissues. that movie was really good it was mind-blowing Lee good I was like 9 years old when it first came out my parents are taking me to see it and to this day I only watch it once in awhile but it still has that effect on you. like I can't watch it because it's that damn good of a film he gets you in a way of the make you cry so much.
David Pressley
2021-07-18 19:47:06 +0000 UTCGreen Mile is definitely the worst of these four films, at least according to movie critics. Catch Me If You Can & Apollo 13 - 96% Philadelphia - 80% The Green Mile - 78%
sheriffjt
2021-07-18 18:18:24 +0000 UTCI have been saying similar stuff along these lines for awhile now. ive come to terms that lets just get all the heavy hitters out the way and then maybe we can move forward with some of the other great movies, but this time they will be more influenced by the peterons. patience here is the key
RebRox65
2021-07-18 17:32:15 +0000 UTCWhat's up bro, we must be related!
Joe Blankenship
2021-07-18 15:50:39 +0000 UTCThe disrespect for Philadelphia is real.
Michael Blankenship
2021-07-18 15:49:04 +0000 UTCGreen Mile would be an excellent followup to Shawshank.
Michael
2021-07-18 15:42:29 +0000 UTCSo no Joe vs The Volcano? It’s clearly the best Tom Hanks movie ever made closely followed by Money Pit and the Burbs.
Ryan
2021-07-18 15:36:38 +0000 UTCRoad to Perdition? Also, Ladykillers is fun. Or Saving Mr Banks since I've never seen that one.
Misty Crom
2021-07-18 15:33:59 +0000 UTCI’m sure The Circle, Punchline, and Cloud Atlas will get their due. We have to wade through his mediocre films until we get to his real gems.
James Cain
2021-07-18 15:05:56 +0000 UTCYou almost can't lose with any Tom Hanks film.
Bob Criswell
2021-07-18 14:57:59 +0000 UTCGreen Mile will win and rightfully so. One of the greatest of all time.
Asking
2021-07-18 12:44:52 +0000 UTCAnother suggestion for a Tom Hanks movie if you haven't seen it is "The Money Pit." It's an early comedy film of his before he really got into dramatic acting and was still primarily known for his roll on Bosom Buddies. It's not in the same league as these films, but it's a lighthearted romp when you're looking for something different.
John
2021-07-18 12:36:29 +0000 UTCI’ll stick to my choice (Apollo 13), but you can honestly argue this could be be not a choice poll, but a prioritization. All four movies are worth watching so I hope the other three are considered and polled again someday. I’ll also suggest a REALLY early obscure Hanks movie - Mazes and Monsters. I dunno how available it is, but worth a watch if you can.
Matthew Periolat
2021-07-18 11:40:24 +0000 UTCYeah I had a total meg ryan crush when i was a kid too. Joe verse the volcano is gold.
Cripkie
2021-07-18 10:41:56 +0000 UTCId say give us one from tom that isn't a tear-jerker but lets be honest it not his style. Idk Natalie honestly. Any tom hanks pick is a watch.
Cripkie
2021-07-18 10:34:21 +0000 UTCunintentional poetry. a beautiful thing. your comment has perfect rhyme and rhythm.
Cripkie
2021-07-18 10:29:41 +0000 UTCDamn how could I forget Joe Versus The Volcano? I so relate to that movie, and not because I'm an average and actual Joe 😆 or because I always had a crush on Meg Ryan back in the day. Tom Hanks' appeal, I think, is that he's like an even more relatable version of Bill Murray, with a little more gravity (😏) in movies like Apollo 13. I heard Hanks say as much on Graham Norton's show when someone got the two confused. Gotta love how loose and real the guests do get on that show btw, Nat knows 🍺💛
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2021-07-18 08:05:31 +0000 UTCPlease don't. "The DaVinci Code" is a good book but not an especially good film and Tom Hanks gives a very (in my opinion, anyway - but isn't that why we're here? 😉) lackluster performance. I really like him as an actor but he didn't impress in that one. 😊
Tomas
2021-07-18 07:25:06 +0000 UTCAlso see "The DaVinci Code"!
Alex Vazquez
2021-07-18 05:56:18 +0000 UTCSee "Every Time We Say Goodbye". Excellent love story about a gentile and a Sephardic Jew. Early Hanks. Set during WWII.
Alex Vazquez
2021-07-18 05:55:26 +0000 UTCIn fact, just thinking about it, I had to go out and buy it so I will never be without it again.
Geoffrey Cahoon
2021-07-18 05:53:53 +0000 UTCI like Joe vs the Volcano. Green Mile was wonderful, but we just saw Shawshank, so GM might be a little too much prison too soon. Not really a Leonardo fan. But actually, Joe is to me the most exquisite fairy tale of a romantic comedy ever. It will certainly disappoint those who need believable realism in order to be drawn into a movie. But for some, this is a remarkable film.
Geoffrey Cahoon
2021-07-18 05:22:17 +0000 UTCGreen Mile is such a reactor staple, I'd rather see one of the others. But whatevs.

Amanda Sargent
2021-07-18 05:05:42 +0000 UTCApollo 13 is a favorite - but honestly I'd rather get into the From Earth to the Moon series, which Tom Hanks produced. So Green Mile it is! So many good suggestions herein from other fans.
Chief
2021-07-18 04:45:46 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, Joe Versus the Volcano has too many songs in it to pass muster on Youtube. But it is a great movie.
Daniel Ketchum
2021-07-18 04:15:33 +0000 UTCI know this isn't in the voting so it won't really matter but for me when it comes to Hanks it's got to be Big and Joe Versus the Volcano.
BJ Stephens
2021-07-18 03:56:13 +0000 UTCthese polls are not fair. there is always one film way more popular than the others so there really was no chance for them. Green is good but overrated, catch should win but it is more a leo movie than hanks. Philly is also a great movie and apollo i felt is more ensemble but terrific. Terminal is a hanks film thats would be a great choice.

REDR58
2021-07-18 02:32:16 +0000 UTCThe Terminal would have been a good choice. Catch me if You Can is more of a Leonardo movie. And every reactor out there has already done Green Mile. It's a good movie too just beaten to desth online.

Nathan Dickson
2021-07-18 00:43:38 +0000 UTCI personally have a soft spot for Cast Away and The Terminal, somehow both movies about Tom being stuck in limbo.
Thomas Malley
2021-07-18 00:37:35 +0000 UTCOne of only TWO movies I watched a second time DIRECTLY after I finished it the first time! :-) (I was a nerdy kid). The other one was From Dusk Till Dawn... go figure :D
olly.enn
2021-07-18 00:14:06 +0000 UTCApollo 13 is great on so many levels. The cinematography and effects are so good NASA could use them for training films. The fact that it's a true story adds to the impact, and the acting from everyone in the cast is phenomenal. It also doesn't rip your heart out at the end. :)
John
2021-07-18 00:02:33 +0000 UTCThere’s more to the post. Click continue reading and she mentions that she’s seen Forrest Gump, Big and Cast Away

2021-07-17 23:56:03 +0000 UTCWhy not Forrest Gump??
2021-07-17 23:47:38 +0000 UTCThe Money Pit is a fun Tom Hanks movie, I'd rather see you laughing than crying.
Al Baughman
2021-07-17 23:44:13 +0000 UTCDon't get me started! :-D edit: But I fear this is not the right place for suggestions, or is it?
olly.enn
2021-07-17 23:12:41 +0000 UTCSounds interesting. Maybe define a genre, a specific trait or a decade that susggested movies should have or fit into. Also go a little bit against the grain maybe...
olly.enn
2021-07-17 22:48:05 +0000 UTCAlso, here are some films that I am submitting for consideration in a future poll: -Dredd (2012) -Annihilation (2018) -The Mummy (1999) -Mission Impossible (1996, and maybe entire film series)
WackySwacky
2021-07-17 22:44:04 +0000 UTCI have a suggestion: Can you do 2 sets of polls? The first poll includes something like 20 films, all compiled from films patrons have recommended in the comments that you will hand pick, and people can vote for whatever films they want to see. Then you could post a second poll a day later that has the top four choices from the first poll. I have seen other people do this kind of 2 tier poll system. It makes people feel like they have a wider range of options.
WackySwacky
2021-07-17 22:37:02 +0000 UTCThats such a good movie in my opinion. Is it because it's so low budget that it doesnt get much appreciation? I've seen it a dozen times at least, and it has such a good ending.
My_Cousin_Mose
2021-07-17 22:29:34 +0000 UTCTo be honest I am always disappointed with your polls, sorry to be harsh but I am just going along with what everyone else picks and never get really that vested in your choices. Silver lining for The Green Mile is that Sam Rockwell is also in this movie so I guess that is one of his movies off your list. Sorry for being negative, I appreciate you and your hard work to entertain all of us. I am just really looking forwards to a poll I am excited about, I think the down side is I no one will vote for the movie I am excited about, democracy is the fairest way so... Another silver lining is that The Green Mile is one of the better adaptions of Kings works. When it was first published when I was 16 it was released as a six part serial paperback, so I had to read a part and then wait a while for the next part of the book to be released, so maybe you can guess from the movie what cliff hangers King ended different parts on. Till Next Time.
Baron
2021-07-17 21:44:45 +0000 UTCI was reading thru all the comments and no one else has mentioned Cloud Atlas, maybe that is more of an ensemble piece compared to a movie that Tom Hanks is the star of. I personally can't wait for Nat to watch Cloud Atlas it is so amazing how each of the actors plays multiple characters and after watching her react to other movies with Hugo Weaving I am curious what she thinks of his roles in this movie, as well as her thoughts on a different Wachowskis sibling movie.
Baron
2021-07-17 21:09:22 +0000 UTCVolunteers, The Terminal or The Burbs.
Jeff Szymanowski
2021-07-17 21:05:24 +0000 UTCHonestly just watch all of these, they're all great lmao
Sour
2021-07-17 21:04:02 +0000 UTCEric Janssen that's correct. The Green Mile is such transparent Oscar bait. It's got all the hallmarks of a movie made solely to try to get Oscar nominations instead of actually being a compelling piece of art. I had no idea until this year, with all the reactions, that anybody ever actually liked this thing.
Allan Rumberger
2021-07-17 21:01:05 +0000 UTCGreen Mile = extra box of tissues.
Richard Maurer
2021-07-17 21:00:45 +0000 UTCThough I know he's incredibly talented, just not a huge Tom Hanks fan. Didn't want to vote in this one but glad that Nat offers such diversity within film poll choices! Whoot Whoot!
This_Jedi_crafts
2021-07-17 20:45:50 +0000 UTCMeh... I really like The Green Mile but I'm getting a bit annoyed that seemingly all reaction creators go through the same list of movies (or - respectively - that their audience - and there must be a big overlap between creators - vote for those titles). Really don't want to watch The Green Mile yet again. Already skipping Harry Potter (absolutely not my thing - which is fine of course) but watching Philadelphia again or even Apollo 13 with a sympathetic reactor would have been nice... :-\ edit: Recently I re-watched Annihilation and The Rocky Horror Picture show on some other reactors Patreon which was great. :-)
olly.enn
2021-07-17 20:39:19 +0000 UTCI do believe Nat has said she has seen that one a while back.

Gryff
2021-07-17 19:31:42 +0000 UTCI would say that Catch me if You Can is a better movie than Green Mile. Also I've always felt that Shawshank is just superior to GM, I get the allegory with GM but its such an extreme scenario. Plus parts of it are so unpleasant and tragic. Very Stephen King; ideas overload. Catch Me if You Can is more of an adventure and the tragedy has more weight for me because its based on a true story.

Zachary Loeser
2021-07-17 19:22:14 +0000 UTCVoted for Apollo 13 has one of my top 5 favorite lines..."We need to make this fit in a hole designed for that using nothing but this...." (Caution: may not be exact quote but you will know it when you see it). Voted for Philadelphia as well. Could be argued that Philadelphia is more Denzel than Hanks but they really were great co-leads. But also seems to hit the hardest because it is the most "real" of the four options for most people. In the end, I don't think there is a Hanks movie I wouldn't watch again. Not all Oscar winners but he is really good in all of them.

2021-07-17 18:50:18 +0000 UTCI voted for Apollo 13 because The Green Mile will defiantly make you cry. Make sure you have tissues ready before you watch it.

Riham Rizvi
2021-07-17 18:33:17 +0000 UTCI just want Catch Me If You Can to win so we can hear more about that musical version! I won't mind any of the others of course, I haven't seen Philadelphia since it became the movie that announced Tom Hanks as a legit serious actor with range beyond comedy. Apollo 13 is an amazing true story and Green Mile is just flat out amazing.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2021-07-17 18:32:43 +0000 UTCAll of those are very good but CMIYC is more of a Leonardo movie than a Tom movie IMO. If The Green Mile wins which it looks like it will then bring tissue. A LOT of tissue. That movie should have cleaned up at the Oscars and got robbed.
JayF
2021-07-17 18:30:42 +0000 UTCShe literally said in this very post that she's seen Big, Forest Gump, and Castaway.
Devin Nease
2021-07-17 18:23:03 +0000 UTCThe Catch Me If You Can movie is a fun bit of Spielberg playing around with Mad Men style 60’s retro, and has absolutely nothing to do with the campy, sniggering Broadway gay rib-nudge. (“Y’see, he's FOOLING everyone, because he has to HIDE who he really is!…”). That said, I’m still going with Apollo 13, since Richard Branson put me in the mood to see how hard NASA really worked.
Eric Janssen
2021-07-17 18:22:55 +0000 UTCGreen Mile is terrific but you will definitely cry!
2021-07-17 18:19:19 +0000 UTCGreen Mile is such a classic but Catch Me If You Can is so good and no one reacts to it - hoping for both but totally appreciate everything you already do Natalie, don't overwork yourself!
Abbie Sharp
2021-07-17 18:16:34 +0000 UTCI absolutely agree that Philadelphia was one of Hanks' best performances all time, but I'm not surprised it's not doing that well. I'm actually surprised that Catch Me If You Can is even on the list. I know he has a big part to play but if I had to clarify it I wouldn't label it "a Tom Hanks movie," so much as "a Leonardo DiCaprio movie that Tom Hanks is in."

2021-07-17 18:14:54 +0000 UTCOf course The Green Mile is going to win but I hope you have something fun to watch afterwards. That movie is gonna destroy you.

2021-07-17 18:11:29 +0000 UTCI'm excited to watch whichever film wins but I really hope we continue on with Harry Potter at some point!

2021-07-17 18:06:04 +0000 UTCAll great. But how is Philadelphia doing so poorly. Still possibly his best performance IMHO. Come on peeps give Philly some love.
Harry Reece
2021-07-17 17:54:16 +0000 UTCWhat? No 'Splash'? ;) (I voted for Apollo 13 as well ... Green Mile is real heart render)
Scott Dorr
2021-07-17 17:53:29 +0000 UTCMy favorite Tom Hanks movie might actually be A League of Their Own.
Seth Price
2021-07-17 17:51:55 +0000 UTCI agree, that’s why I voted for Apollo 13
Nick of Time
2021-07-17 17:46:16 +0000 UTCGreen Mile would my 2nd place choice with Catch Me If You Can as my 1st place. So few people have reacted to Catch Me If You Can on YouTube. And although I love Green Mile reactions there must be over a hundred of them on YouTube at this point.
ThatCrazyGuy
2021-07-17 17:41:13 +0000 UTCI chose The Green Mile, but, all of them! I would also add Castaway, Big, Forest Gump (I believe you might've said that you watched this at some point, but I still want you to react to it even if that's the case), Captain Phillips, Sully, The Terminal...I could go on and on!
Ilsuk Yang
2021-07-17 17:40:23 +0000 UTCThis is a really hard choice, because these are all great films.
Ken Schneyer
2021-07-17 17:36:10 +0000 UTCVkunia just posted her reaction to The Green Mile this morning. It broke her. I really don't want to see it do the same thing to you, Nat. Not yet anyway. :;-) So I pick Apollo 13, also a great film and an excellent account of the true story.
Bruce Bromley
2021-07-17 17:32:57 +0000 UTCDang these are all so amazing. When people ask me who my favorite actor/actress is I don't even need to think about it. Tom Hanks always has been and always will be. Green Mile is a masterpiece so gotta go with that. Catch me if you can is good too though and Leo is in my top 5 favorite actor/actress of all time. Christopher Walken is in that one too. Another Tom Hanks movie to consider for the future would be "The Terminal". It's right up your alley and Tom puts on a masterclass of acting in that one. Imma watch this later tonight or tomorrow as I am about to go run errands before UFC comes on later.
Andrew Clifton
2021-07-17 17:32:07 +0000 UTCI don’t care which one wins. These are all must watch films.
A R
2021-07-17 17:30:38 +0000 UTCTom Hanks has done so many good motives that others have already mentioned that they are all good options. Hope we can eventually work through most of them. Maybe once a month do a Tom Hank film.
Tranquil_Gnome
2021-07-17 17:21:34 +0000 UTCGreen Mile is a really one
James Bartley
2021-07-17 17:21:01 +0000 UTCI didn’t see anyone mentioning Cloud Atlas, but I genuinely love it, and would make for some great reaction content.
2021-07-17 17:18:52 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile is in my top ten favorite films, so not surprised at the results thus far. Philadelphia is great as well. If you want an early Tom Hanks film, I recommend Splash. It was his first big role I believe.
Justin S.
2021-07-17 17:17:10 +0000 UTCStand By Me, The Dead Zone, and Misery are among the best as well. Firestarter, although not well received, is actually quite close and accurate to the novel.
Justin S.
2021-07-17 17:14:13 +0000 UTCCan you really go wrong with any Tom Hanks movie? It has been forever since I have seen The Green Mile so hopefully this wins.
Ken
2021-07-17 17:07:50 +0000 UTCBridge of Spies (2015), directed by Spielberg, is also a good film.
Matt D
2021-07-17 17:05:03 +0000 UTCIf you've never watched Road to Perdition (2002), you can see Tom Hanks play a gangster.
Matt D
2021-07-17 17:03:25 +0000 UTCExactly what I did. Philadelphia was a moving and formative cinematic experience for me and the scene highlighting the Maria Callas song is hauntingly beautiful. I really hope Nat gets to it eventually but will cry right along with everyone else as we watch The Green Mile (also a great, great film) which seems to be unstoppable at this point.
Ian Forbes
2021-07-17 16:59:11 +0000 UTCGreen Mile hands down, but Catch me if You Can is Godly, if not for that Fucking MASTERFUL score alone (John Williams we Fucking miss you :( ) and NEEDS to be reacted to.

2021-07-17 16:36:50 +0000 UTCIf The Green Mile wins, be sure to have the tissues handy.
PAKMan
2021-07-17 16:36:13 +0000 UTCOr “Road to Perdition”
Ryu Kobushi
2021-07-17 16:33:28 +0000 UTCHaven't seen someone mention watching That Thing You Do!. Tom Hanks has a fairly involved cameo and it's his directorial debut.
Robb Hollen
2021-07-17 16:32:37 +0000 UTCI voted Green Mile, but Apollo 13 and Catch Me if You Can are both incredible movies. Be sure to watch them both at some point if you haven't.
2021-07-17 16:32:14 +0000 UTCI was kind of hoping you would watch the other Kung-fu Panda movies. In my opinion the trilogy is as good as How to train a dragon
Daniel Vezina
2021-07-17 16:30:24 +0000 UTCI voted Apollo 13 as it’s a favorite. Green Mile, I haven’t seen so interested for sure if (when) it wins.

2021-07-17 16:28:55 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile and Philadelphia are both amazing and make me sob every single time. Bring your tissues and I'll bring mine.
A Vicarious View
2021-07-17 16:26:46 +0000 UTCAlso good choices: The Terminal. Sully. Captain Phillips.
Bryan Fritchie
2021-07-17 16:25:12 +0000 UTCI voted TGM but you really should watch Philadelphia Story. It's an important film.
David of the North
2021-07-17 16:24:36 +0000 UTCGreen Mile for sure but if you haven’t seen it, The Burbs is a hilarious, very under the radar, awesome Tom Hanks movie from the late 80’s before he got into more serious roles.
Dcv50
2021-07-17 16:21:59 +0000 UTCHere we go again with The Green Mile and the thinly veiled racist trope it perpetuates. It’ll obviously win.
rhaegar
2021-07-17 16:21:49 +0000 UTCNot a Tom Hanks film, but Now You See Me is fun.
LionBro
2021-07-17 16:17:44 +0000 UTCCatch me if you can is also one of my faves, though it’s more of a Leo focused film to me…Green Mile is prob going to win. But a couple of my Hanks faves are League of their own, and The Burbs
Charlie Keeler
2021-07-17 16:16:45 +0000 UTCHi. Why not "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels & Demons"?
David Blake
2021-07-17 16:15:35 +0000 UTCPhiladelphia is his best movie and while I don't think it will win I would highly recommend watching it at some point. Not just for the channel, even if you just happen to have free time
2021-07-17 16:14:50 +0000 UTCI voted Apollo 13, but it and Green Mile were a tough coin flip. Liked Catch Me if you Can, but was a step below those two. Admittedly I haven't watched Philadelphia either.
Stephen Coleman
2021-07-17 16:13:31 +0000 UTCFor me - Big or Da Vinci Code should of been on this list both are better than two of those on Natalle's list
JarHead0351
2021-07-17 16:11:40 +0000 UTCThe obvious choice here is The Green Mile. Hope that it wins..

2021-07-17 16:07:37 +0000 UTCHave you seen The Terminal? I feel like it is an underrated, entertaining and feel good Hanks movie. Never seen anyone react to it.

Ryan Williams
2021-07-17 16:05:49 +0000 UTCPhiladelphia is easily my favorite performance of his. Really showcased his dramatic acting chops.
Kevin M. Pitts
2021-07-17 16:05:22 +0000 UTCAll 4 of them are incredible.. but for now i pick "The Green Mile" and "Philadelphia"

2021-07-17 16:03:50 +0000 UTCAfter enjoying watching Shawshank for the first time with you Nat, it just has to be The Green Mile. Another movie I haven't seen, but would love to watch on your channel. Enjoy your weekend Nat 💛

2021-07-17 16:03:49 +0000 UTCPhiladelphia is fantastic movie but a bit of a rough watch. I did a breakdown of it from a legal perspective last year on The Not So Grand Jury.

2021-07-17 16:03:18 +0000 UTCI'll vote for Catch Me if You Can if it means you'll sing a song from the musical. 😁

2021-07-17 16:02:48 +0000 UTCI do not have a pick yet. I'm gonna wait to see what everybody has to say and maybe pick an underdog to help it along.

2021-07-17 16:02:23 +0000 UTCDecent options here I prefer catch me if you can and Apollo 13

2021-07-17 16:02:14 +0000 UTCI know it’s greedy but can you do both Green Mile a AND Catch Me If You Can? So good!

2021-07-17 16:01:56 +0000 UTCThe Green Mile is perhaps the greatest Stephen King adaption in my opinion.
