    • He's always awesome!
    • He's reliable and usually good.

    • He's not very good actually and I only like a few of his movies.

I watched Castaway one night and it was OK - not enough to say I "liked" it ... I clicked "other" because even though Bosom Buddies was not a movie, that's about all Tom has for me ..

 

I think I'd rather fall backwards into a vat of shit than sit thru Forrest Gump

 

He might be a nice guy, but if I live to be 500, I doubt I'll ever see one of his crap movies

He's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overrated. He sucks! He's an 80's comic actor who ran out of steam or ideas or motivation. and he probably said to his agent, "Man I've got to do something else, before I become a total burnout. Some straight acting, something more serious. Maybe I'll even win an Oscar or two...ha ha..." Lady luck took care of the rest...

I liked 22 out of the 29 I've seen on that list. He's not my favorite but those are pretty good numbers.

Tossing out the Meg Ryan romantic comedy crap, his best run has been in the 90s up to Road to Perdition.

As I checked those movies off, it struck me what a run that is.

My faves are Charlie wilsons war, Apollo 13, that thing you do and the ladykillers. I think his best part is the ladykillers. Very against his usual style but hilarious.

Yeah, same here. Ticking them off made me put that last sentence in there. I enjoyed Catch Me If You Can too...and, for me, Leo movies are VERY risky.

I put that "He's just being Tom" option for you.

Oh hey, look what I found: 1980s footage of you telling Hanks what you think of him...

He's like a second cousin of mine and you would think I would have seen all of his movies but I haven't. I think he's a very good actor and is always enjoyable to watch but but his movie choices aren't always something I want to see.

I've never seen Charlie Wilson's War and I thought I was the only one that liked The Ladykillers. J.K. Simmons was fun in that. Irritable Bowel Syndrome! :LOL:

Charlie has good performances from Julia Roberts and Philip Seymour Hoffman as well.

 

This is mountain girl. Mountain is my right hand. You brought your bitch to the waffle hut?

Great lines in that movie.

Oh you left out Volunteers with John Candy.

I sort of left it out on purpose. I just saw it for the first time a week or 2 ago and it wasn't good. Besides, 40 options is the max with these polls. Hence, the true reason for "sort of left it out on purpose"

I haven't even heard of most of these. i like him. Bay Rea boy done good. He must have been married for 35 years to the same woman right? Great guy.

He's married to Rita Wilson, his co-star in the movie you mentioned in your other post: Volunteers. They've been married close to 30 years.

 

I just found out recently that Rita Wilson was in the Brady Bunch episode in which Marcia tries out for head cheerleader. She loses to another girl trying out named Pat Conway...played by Rita Wilson. This is only a "Oh really?!" moment IF you know your Brady Bunch episodes. As it's one of my guilty pleasures, I know my Brady Bunch episodes. :LOL:
