Day 225: Tom Hanks favorites

Last night we watched the latest Tom Hanks movie A man called Otto on Netflix. A story about an older very grumpy man. Yes, in some ways I do recognize a bit of myself. Once again some great acting by Tom Hanks, an actor who hardly disappoints.\

So in how many great movies did this guy play? Quite a lot if you ask me. So today I am sharing my favorite movies with Tom Hanks. And no, Cast Away is not in this Top 10. Unlike many others I thought this one was quite boring. Maybe I have a different opinion today, but I do not feel an urgent need to rewatch it again.

2. The Terminal (2004)
