I always liked the daft Tom Hanks movie "Joe vs the Volcano". I hadn't seen it in years and years, but watched it again at some point last summer after it was on tv - the SyFy channel I think. Great silly stuff. He was great in The Ladykillers too, and I've enjoyed his serious roles like The Green Mile and Saving Private Ryan.
Thinking back to when I were a lad, Tom Hanks seemed to be in everything. Constant Tom Hanks bombardment when watching the trailers on any given video. I remember an incident in the Funster household after a trailer came on for the film That Thing You Do, and my dad went on a pure rant about how he hated Tom Hanks and how it was just another Tom Hanks movie being churned out to top up his bank balance and us sheep would undoubtedly buy into it cause it's Tom Hanks. He can have a bit of a monotone voice at times, and I can understand why people maybe aren't overly fond of him.
Certainly though, he has stood the test of time better than Steve Guttenberg!
