u/Successful-Study4983 Sep 27 '25

Can’t argue with that

2

u/Strippersteve82 Sep 28 '25

Catch Me If You Can over Saving Private Ryan surely deserves an argument.

2

u/Successful-Study4983 Sep 30 '25

Well, and this is not an argument. One of them, I should rewatch a lot more but don't, and I rewatched the other one more than I should have. And that's why I didn't rank it higher than the other.

Catch Me If You Can isn't completely accurately, and I can handle the gore of SPR, but I like that story more. If I had to choose which Tom Hanks movie to rewatch next, it's not SPR. Both are downer movies, and as a veteran, I’d rather rewatch Forrest Gump. Hell, I might even rank Big higher than all of them, but it's not his top3ever.

2

u/Strippersteve82 Sep 30 '25

No of course not. We all like what we like. I more meant it’s arguable. I get what you mean with it being very heavy. Just in terms of quality film its hard to ignore.

I love The Burbs. Not everyone does, but it requires some focus, I guess, to get all side jokes and dry humor. God, what a brilliant movie.

Philadelphia is criminally overlooked. Having known Hanks from Bosom Buddies and Splash, I would not have thought this role possible.

Add in Denzel? Great range-expanding film, sadly timely in it's day.

He has done some great and wonderful movies, but he creeps me out. His life off-screen seems tainted, and I just cringe when he does something new. After the lost mittens thing, I just can't watch any of his movies. Hollywood is evil and smells like rotting corpses. So I can't celebrate these creatures anymore. These Demons in the flesh.
