The 8 Best Tom Hanks Movies

Tom Hanks is an actor
that’s been on top of Hollywood for decades. He’s done so much movies – not all
of them amazing if we’re being honest – that it’s hard to remember what the
very best of his movies are.

Let’s peek into Tom
Hanks’ career and see which movies of his are the best.

The Toy Story
Series

I mean, there’s no real
argument here, is there? The Toy Story series are amazingly fun and Tom Hanks
will always be Woody to some of us.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump was the
movie of an entire generation. Not only does the film run you through about 30
years of American pop culture, it also makes you cheer for the underdog.

Cast Away

I mean, considering
the biggest part of this movie had a cast of one person, Tom Hanks had to be
able to carry a movie or this one would’ve just been incredibly boring to look
at.

Philadelphia

A movie about
homosexuality and aids in a time when homosexuality wasn’t as accepted as it is
now. If you haven’t watched this yet, it’s worth your time. Be careful though:
it’s a tearjerker.

Captain Phillips

Just Tom Hanks doing
what Tom Hanks does best: play a strong character and knock it out the park.

The Green Mile

The Green Mile is just
another one of those classic movies in a long list of movies where Tom Hanks
leaves you feeling something after watching it.

The Da Vinci Code

I mean, they’re good
books, so they’re good movies. Tom Hanks will lead you through the dark secrets
of the Vatican in an epic journey that spans multiple movies and leaves you at
the edge of your seat!

Saving Private Ryan

Steven Spielberg made what is probably considered to be one of the best movies about World War II when he made Saving Private Ryan. And what a clever idea it was to let Tom Hanks play in it.
