Matt came up with the title.

I'm glad we have 9 threads for Tom. He deserves them.

And he deserves 9 more!

What was the last Tom movie you saw?

I haven't seen any of his new movies, so it'd have to be an old one.

I think the last one I saw was "Bridge of Spies".

I haven't.

It was good. 2013 was also a knock out year for Tom with "Captain Phillips" and "Saving Mr. Banks". Two movies that would probably be in my top 10 fo movies of the last 5-10 years.
