Shotgun Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Curious thing about Tom Hanks is that I really like him as an actor. But then when I look at his lengthy filmography, there's very few that I would have any interest in seeing a second time. And quite a few I have no interest in seeing even once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Green mile, saving private Ryan, sully, the terminal are all watchable and worth a second go. I think he suffers from the same thing as Tom cruise, in too many films and it gets repetitive. He doesn’t have a huge range as well. Other than Forrest Gump it’s all pretty similar, but good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You thought Sully was worth watching a second time? Not me. I would add 'A League of their Own' (Mrs Shotgun was watching it just the other night and I got drawn in) and 'Apollo 13' (I own that one), I thought he was great in 'Philadelphia' and 'Bridge of Spies' but no interest in seeing them again. Agree on your second point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on your second point. As good as he was in Bridge if Spies, and he was very good, his performance was always going to be overlooked by the outstanding Mark Rylance. Hanks back catalogue of great performances can compete with anyone out there. With the obvious exception of Daniel a Day-Lewis, I’d struggle to argue against there being many more consistent performers in the industry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty It Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 All this talk of Tom Hanks and the only mention of The Terminal is a gif, you lot should be ashamed of yourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Surprised to see Redford was only in four films during the '80s. Busy with the producing/Sundance stuff, I guess. A lot of his films really aren't my cup of tea, but he seems to have put a lot of thought into the projects he chose. Also, I'm pretty sure my mum wishes he'd been my dad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theroadlesstravelled Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Formula 1 is a terrible sport. Old folks home bingo is better than F1. I'd rather watch Ethel playing Bingo for 2 hours than watch 5 seconds of F1. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, you don't get Tom Hanks to act a part, you get Tom Hanks to play Tom Hanks in a given situation: Tom Hanks at war, Tom Hanks in space, Tom Hanks on an island etc... The guy has built a career on his innate charisma and likeability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
