green mile tops the lot i reckon.castaway got a bit of stick if i remember rightly but i thought it was ace.

[aroamin]

for the record "you've got mail" was a suggestion for a bad tom hanks film, and Miss Conginiality 2 was a joke.

Hanks is phenomenal though, the Terminal was quality.

Though not a patch on the likes of daniel day lewis, the guy is a chameleon. Him, and john hurt are just incredible actors. I love watching them, every little twitch of their face tells a new story.

Oh and Michael Fassbander (perhaps?) is a newish actor that I think is incredible. He was in inglorious bastards and hunger, two great movies etc.

Castaway got loads of stick.  For me, its one of the best acting performances for years.  For over an hour of the film, it is just Tom Hanks.  The only other character is a volleyball.  To be able to do that convincingly and movingly is, in my view, worthy of serious accolade.

I like Castaway.

Have you seen 'Moon', Billy Shears?

It deserves another plug because Sam Rockwell is pretty much the only actor in the whole film and does an incredible job. Really good film, probably better than Castaway in that respect.

I've not, but it is on my lovefilm list, and I am very much looking forward to it.  All reviews I've seen are very favourable and I do like Sam Rockwell.

Aye, 'tis a good film.

Been watching some somewhat random war films the past few days. The Russian film The 9th Company about their invasion of Afghanistan was very good as was the Italian one El Alamein. Remember someone on here liked war films so those two are well worth a watch.

Watched you don't mess with the zohan last night. Might be alone on this but i fucking loved it. Also watched another Mike Judge film the other week, Idiocracy. I loved that too, although it's no Office Space.

Keep meaning to watch there will be blood, but dunno, seems uninteresting. I will try this week.

Word.

He even manages to bring Wilson (the volleyball) to life to some extent.

'Catch me if you can' is another great movie. Tom Hanks is so adaptable, I think he is superb.

There will be blood, contains the biggest piece of ham since Babe, vastly over rated imo. I thought Zohan was good. Just watched him in Bedtime Stories which was decent enough also. Best film i've seen recently was "I love you man" Normally american film comedies to me are disappointing, but this one was pretty funny.

Off to see "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" Wednesday, heard some good reviews and I love Ian Durys music so should be interesting.

[Simon Pieman]

You've Got Mail is my worst film of all time.

[juddie]

no way Si! Great film. Well not great, but good.

[adje]

Apollo 13. The best Tom Hanks film/best film ever. I will refrain from adding 'FACT'.

No no -that's The Burbs!

I watched that recently and quite enjoyed it.

Also took in The Hangover over the weekend which was reasonably amusing.

Like many others I also watched Forrest Gump last night. A brilliant film. Can't believe it was released in 1994 and I remember it so well, I was only 8 at the time!

Batchelor Party was, without doubt, his finest movie.
