He's done a ton of movies and I can't expect y'all to rank them all. So I chose the ones I like best.

Rank these Tom Hanks movies from your favorite to your least favorite.

Bachelor Party
Cast Away
Philadelphia
Saving Private Ryan
Big
Catch Me If You Can
The Money Pit

Wow, I've actually seen more than one of these, so I'll play along with the ones I have seen.

Forrest Gump
Catch Me If You Can

Forrest Gump is probably the greatest movie ever made...so that goes 1 for me.

That said...This may be one of the funniest lines in movie history:

Lt. Dan - Have you found Jesus yet, Gump?
Gump - I didn't know I was supposed to be looking for him, sir.

Just blatant disrespect for Forrest Gump.

Gump is good but a bit too long. I like my movies to be 90-120 minutes. I got shit to do. More than 2 hours and I'm probably going to start checking out.

Gary Sinise steals the show. I love that dude in movies and in real life.

Forrest Gump: I know it's "trendy" to hate this one, but I love it, and the scene where he finds out about his son is one that hits me hard every frigging time.

Saving Private Ryan: Still upset this didn't win Best Picture.

Toy Story: I'm cheating and counting all three, but I love them all.

Cast Away: The man made you care about a volleyball.

Big: This movie is fun, quotable, and the first time you really see him really flex his muscle as an actor

A League of Their Own: He's so good, and it's a great ensemble.

The Green Mile: Absolutely heartbreaking movie, but so good. Screw Percy man.

Catch Me if You Can: This one is a lot of fun, he and DiCaprio are a fantastic pair. Plus, it has an OOTB approved knock knock joke.

Philadelphia: Truth be told, it's a better made and better acted movie than ones I ranked higher, but it's so heavy I can't watch it as often as the rest. The opera scene is a masterclass.

Bachelor Party: Just ok for me.

I haven't seen the other two in their entirety so I didn't feel right ranking them, but others of his that I enjoy are That Thing You Do, Captain Phillips, Saving Mr. Banks, Bridge of Spies, and The Post.

I know this is probably gonna be somewhat of a laughable opinion considering the demographic I’m saying it to, but I really enjoy Sleepless in Seattle also, and there some pretty solid parts in You’ve Got Mail.
