TOP FIVE GREATEST TOM HANKS FILMS

I'm kinda picky when it comes to movies. I don't get too much of crappy love stories or gory horror movies nor those non-sense comedy and their silly punchlines. But other than the storyline, we can't deny the fact, that one of the reasons why we are so hooked on a certain movie is because of the lead actors playing their respective roles. I am a big fan of Tom Hanks and I love most of his films so I'm going to list down five of his best films for me.
Have fun!

TOP FIVE GREATEST TOM HANKS FILMS

TOP 5 GREATEST TOM HANKS FILM
"TOY STORY"


Toy Story is one of the greatest Animated Films ever. I grew up watching the 3 installments and hopefully they'll add more. And I bet you agree that Toy Story is the one of the most beloved trilogy of all time. Even though Tom Hanks is not physically present in this film, his character Woody , left a big mark in our memory. I personally like the last installment and it somehow, brought me to tears LOL. But honestly, it reminded us that we were once a child who used to be with our toys. The scene where Andy is giving away his old toys to Bonnie.... waaah so heartbreaking >.<

"CAST AWAY"



This will actually prove you that you don't need a bunch of actors to make a certain film more interesting and inviting. He Plays Chuck Noland here who's stranded on an inhabited island after a plane crash. Who would forget his best and only island buddy, Wilson? The film receives a lot of positive reviews and earned several awards, praising Tom Hanks' performance. It is indeed a very remarkable film and in fact, it has been spoofed by many other medias too.

"SAVING PRIVATE RYAN"


This film is quite an epic! With Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks team up, you will surely end up having this amazing film. Saving Private Ryan was well received by audiences and garnered considerable critical acclaim, winning several awards for film, cast, and crew as well as earning significant returns at the box office. Tom Hanks did a brilliant performance here and the film itself is very symbolic. No wonder they earned many praises from movie critics.

"FOREST GUMP"



Another Epic Drama from Tom Hanks. He played the title role here and who would ever forget those remarkable lines in this film? "Life is like a box of chocolates, You never know what you're gonna get" It is commended by many critics, receives tons of awards and recognitions and as usual, Tom Hanks' performance was undeniably remarkable. It seems like he was able to shift his role in a movie in a way that you can't compare his previous roles in other movies and that's what "versatility" is all about. Kudos!


THE GREATEST TOM HANKS FILM
"THE GREEN MILE"



This is one of the unusual stories created by Stephen King because instead of creeping you out like what he did with The Shinning and IT, this film will brought you in tears. In addition to it's amazing storyline, Tom Hanks did an amazing performance too. He portrayed Paul Edgecomb , an officer in charge of Deathrow in mates where he met John Coffey who changes his life eventually. Michael Duncan did a remarkable job too as the gentle giant Coffey.

Other Tom Hanks that deserves to be mentioned ; Catch Me If You Can , Big, Philadelphia , Road To Perdition , Sleepless in Seattle, and Extremely Load And Incredibly Close
