I'm actually looking forward to seeing this one in the theater, which will be about the 3rd time in a theater in the last 15 years or so. I knew I had to see it the first preview I saw!

 

[1969 300]

I just saw it, and it was excellent.

 

[1978 NYB]

I like every movie Tom Hanks is in.

Saving Private Ryan is my favorite.

Even though the story is somewhat fictitious...Private Ryan never existed.

Saving Private Ryan does an exceptional job showing the real Esprit De Corps of the American Soldier. Which is the very core of every Soldier that continues to this very day. When a Soldier says "I've got your Six" .......that's a very powerful statement!

Life is like a box of chocolates.

LOL! I liked that movie too!!!

He doesnt have a bad movie... i cant think of any other actor that could pull of this performance..
He's got to be one of if not the best actor ever

 

[detmatt]

Agreed, certainly of current times.

In 1994, Robert Rodat saw a monument in Putney Corners, New Hampshire, memorializing those who were killed from the Civil War to Vietnam. He noticed the names of eight siblings who died during the American Civil War. Inspired by the story, Rodat did some research and decided to write a similar story set in World War II. Rodat's script was submitted to producer Mark Gordon

Which then prompted me to read about The Sullivan Bros in WW II. Very tragic...

With the possible exception of "Joe Versus The Volcano"

O.k..... bad movie, perhaps, BUT always an excellent performance

Castaway wasn't very good but a good job in it.

 

[polara71]

Castaway wasn't very good but a good job in it.

It was I good movie, BUT tell me another actor than can play a part for 90 minutes on the screen solo?

I dont know I really thought that was a good movie...........

 

[detmatt]

I liked that one too, Wilson!!

 

[1978 NYB]

I thought it was good too.

 

[70NPORT]

Castaway was a decent movie. Interesting imagine how someone would handle a situation like that.....5 years alone on a deserted island (didn't even know those existed any longer).

Road to Perdition, even Tom Hanks admitted being nervous going up against Paul Newman. The Green Mile, The money Pit (which I now own.)
