I almost forgot. <b>Splash</b> is another big favorite of mine. With John Candy and Eugene Levy both so funny and Tom Hanks so delightful, I could watch it over and over again. Splash is a true American classic. |

I couldn't agree more, mrspickles. My mind often wanders to Madison saying her name in her own language, Mrs. Stimler's fashion choices, and using 'bocce balls!' as a G-rated expletive. I don't think this has been posted, but Tom Hanks says all the right things about HW in a BBC interview. |

Joe Versus the Volcano. That is all. Saw it in the theatre. Own the dvd. And watch it every year. I still say "I have no response to that" and "May you live to be a thousand years old". I love this movie. |

I love "Sleepless in Seattle." The scene where he's talking to "Dr. Marcia" about his late wife gets me every time ("I was just taking her hand to get out of a car and I knew. It was like magic.").

I love that movie irrationally. Bruce Dern! After Carrie Fisher died, I tried to figure out who to call to get it set up on a loop. |

LOVE. So many good parts in this movie. The looks on Tom Hanks’ and Victor Garbers’ faces when Rita Wilson is crying-talking about An Affair to Remember kills me every time. |

Tom Hanks snorting pretzels and sardine out of his nose is possibly my favorite part of that entire movie. I have never seen this movie! It always holds a place in my memory because our neighbors had it on when we were over there and my dad happened to walk in right at a part where Daryl Hannah's butt was showing and hustled us out of the room not knowing what kind of movie they were showing us. I was probably only about 5 or 6 and all that stuck with me was dad being mad so I guess I never sought it out. (And honestly, those particular neighbors WERE weird, so maybe it gave me a bad association.) |

I went through a phase when I was in middle school where I watched A League of Their Own at least once a week, so I could probably recite it from memory. The telegram scene guts me every time.
I also love Forrest Gump (I own it on Blu Ray) and think it gets a bad rap nowadays. Tom totally deserved that Oscar. I know the popular argument is that Morgan Freeman should've won (in my vision of a perfect world they would've tied) and that Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption are better and one of them should've won Best Picture but, as someone who loves all of them, I think they're all good in different ways. There's no need to tear down Forrest Gump. 1994 was a ridiculously good year for movies.
And according to my dad, who did two tours in Vietnam, the Vietnam War scenes are spot on. Particularly the rain.
And to try to wrap up this semi-drunken rambling (yay whiskey!) the scene at the end where Forrest is at Jenny's grave makes me cry like a baby every time.
tl;dr, Tom Hanks is a national treasure and Forrest Gump is an awesome movie.
