Tom Hanks,The Great!!

When you have loads of idle time to kill by,the best part is to do what you love to do most.And keeping up with the same spirit,I have been actively involved in watching movies since 7-8 days.Coming back from office around 6 pm and then spending almost my entire time in front of the screen,watching and re-watching the classics.And call it just a matter of chance or a matter of choice,I happened to watch some classics of Tom Hanks.Some I had already watched years back,but still seemed so lively when re-watched,others were my first time watch.
Now I have always been a fan of Tom Hanks.The sheer genius of his acting,his portrayal of human emotions is amazing.Be it Forrest Gump where he lives with a "I don't care" attitude or be it The Terminal where what he speaks is incomprehensible yet too much expressive,the artist has grown from strength to strength over his career.And to top it all,every movie of his has something new,some new touch of his persona,or say his acting dominion.
And last week cemented my devotion for this great actor.

So without getting delayed,let me count some of his classics which are a must watch.
1) Forrest Gump - Needless to say,this is the best of the lot.
2) The Terminal
3) Cast Away
4) You have got mail
5) Catch me if you can
6) The Da Vinci Code
7) Saving Private Ryan

and the list is still growing.What's your favorite Tom Hanks movie???

Tush, I'd definitely add Philadelphia to the list... Da Vinci code was a disappointing movie but I think the same is true with all novel movies (possibly the only rare exception is the Bourne series)
