Hard to decide. I only picked one (Green Mile). He has many other great ones though and I guess it depends on which style. Big was a great comedy, Green Mile/Forest Gump/Saving Private Ryan were all good dramas.

Over all I like about anything he is in.

I chose Philedelphia and Forest Gump...I could have easily picked more though...until I looked at his movies listed like that I never really realized how many great shows this guy has been in...wow..

The Lady Killers was dreadful!....allthough his acting was as always, excellent.

I didn't narrow it down to two, picked several of them. I've liked all of his movies, but some are not favorites!

Kelby, LOL on "The Ladykillers"

I'm definitely anxious to see "The Terminal" and know we will view it one day next week! Then post my personal review.................... Cool

I am really looking forward to The Terminal as well.. it looks really good...

I know most won't agree with me, but I've always loved Joe Vs. The Volcano. The first time I watched it I didn't really care for it, but I kept catching it on cable and tv later, and each time I watched it I liked it more. A friend of mine commented one time that you can't take it literally when you watch it, but to think of it as a fairy tale, and he was right, once I got into that mindset I let the silliness go and just enjoyed the heck out of it.

Forest Gump was my choice

If I had picked a second it would have been Saving Private Ryan

Alright. I finally decided. Forrest Gump comes in 1st. Followed by Saving Private Ryan. I have to give a nod to Philadelphia too though because it was his first serious and dramatic role and I was in awe.

I haven't seen Catch Me If You Can or Ladykillers and am only mildly interested in The Terminal though Iwill see it eventually. I was so depressed after Road to Perdition that I'm kinda down on Tom right now. Sad

LOL with you on everything LL. I watched "Stepford Wives" in the same way as Rhune describes about "Joe vs the Volcano", a fairytale!

And speaking of the Stepford Wives, why is every movie coming out this summer such a disappointment to me? I get all my hopes up and they are turning out to be duds. I am not even sure I want to see the videos. I'm still trying to get over The Day After Tomorrow. I will see it eventually but I hear it is really not that great. Bring on another Cold Mountain. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for The Village.
