Aartemys Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Okay, so one of the movie channels I have did a Tom Hanks weekend and I realized that he's been in a million movies and I've liked most if not all of them. What's your fave and why? And on the flip, if you don't like the man, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The 'burbs, Philadelphia and Charlie Wilsons War. Three fucking amazing films. The man for a good while could do very little wrong. I just wish he'd not besmirched himself with the Da Vinci Code nonsense. Edit to say, the 00's was difficult as I also love The Terminal and Catch me if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I limited myself to top 3 choices for ea. decade, which was very difficult for the 90s. 80s:Splash, Big, Money Pit 90s: Saving Private Ryan, A league of Their Own, Toy Story 00s: TS3, Catch Me If You Can, Cast Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The only era I had trouble narrowing it to 3 was the 00s because Road to Perdition, Catch Me If You Can, The Ladykillers (easily the most underrated movie in the history of film), and Toy Story 3 were all enjoyable. Was Joe Vs. The Volcano worth mentioning? Did ANYONE like that movie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the division of joy Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Interested in who else like Charlie Wilsons War. I figured I was on my own with that one. I would like to point out that I posted this before I saw drifters post, my browser just spazzed out on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aartemys Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Was Joe Vs. The Volcano worth mentioning? Did ANYONE like that movie? Now, now Baytor. I listed his entire filmography. Many a time I have seen a poll and someone come out later asking for a write in. In my warped mind, I figured someone like The NZA would come back saying that, "Joe vs The Volcano was the epitome of life's essence in the 80s and shame on you for not listing it!" Interested in who else like Charlie Wilsons War. I figured I was on my own with that one. I just saw Charlie Wilson's War about a month ago and I liked it. I mean, its very hard to keep me in a room when a movie hasn't held my interest and I saw the whole thing. My all time favorite has to be A League of Their Own. I believe I was watching said movie when this poll came to mind. "Are you crying? There's no crying in BASEBALL!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Joe Vs. The Volcano is the worst volcano movie ever, which is kind of like being biggest douchebag in New Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lycaon Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Joe Vs. The Volcano is the worst volcano movie ever, which is kind of like being biggest douchebag in New Jersey. That said, I can still see Nick saying that. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iambaytor Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Yeah, he probably would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I started to watch Charlie Wilson's War when it first came on DVD, but had to stop it for some reason and just never got back to it. I read up on the real man around that time and he was definitely an interesting character. I need to go back and finish the film. Sorkin's a great writer, so I'm sure the film is pretty damned good.
