Meg & Tom have good chemistry! I wish they could do a third (and final) movie with each other.

What your favorite co-star of Tom's?

They have done 3 actually......Joe Versus the Volcano, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail.

Ohhhhhhh.....Leonardio DiCaprio has definitely been my favorite co-star of his. Denzel Washington, David Morse, Michael Clarke Duncan, Gary Sinise, Tim Allen, John Candy, and Daryl Hannah, and Meg Ryan were some of my other faves. Oh, and the kid who played Jonah in SIS, he played his father really well. Tom has great chemsitry with so many different actors, various genres as well.

How 'bout you?

Audrey Tautou is another of his co-stars that I thought he had great chemistry with. They made The Davinci Code watchable.

I have to re-watch that one, since I don't remember much. I just know it wasn't a fave of mine.

Yay, another fan, welcome!

I've been on a bit of Hanks' marathon lately...I've watched Turner & Hooch, Sleepless in Seattle, You've Got Mail, Forrest Gump.......he's just so amazing in everything he does!

I loved him in Sleepless and Seattle, just to hear him the grief in his voice over loosing his wife. And then through out the movie he starts to heal and fall in love and you can tell in his voice. I'm always really impressed with an actor when he does subtle things with his voice, or eyes, or how he holds himself.

I'm with both of you...he does so much with so little. And the fact he's such a big-name star now, it hasn't ruined him at all. He's still just as amazing as he ever was.

Do you guys have an all-time favorite Hanks' role?

I don't really have a favorite because there are so many great ones. I do love him in Philadelphia because it took such courage to take that role. From what I've been told, not so many actors were willing to play a gay man dying of AIDS. And yet Tom took the character and made him human with grace. The movie felt more like we were looking in on his final days of his life more than a movie. It to this day is still one of my favorite movies.

I love that he can do movies like Philadelphia and Forrest Gump and be amazing in those. Yet star in movies like the Toy Story series and Big and work in those too. Not many actors can do a wide range of parts, yet Tom Hanks always seems willing to try everything. And it looks like his son Colin will be just as great as his father.

cherrios, everything you had to say about Tom was so amazing. ITA! That's been one of my favorite things about him, how he can become each character he portrays equally well - whether it be comedic or dramatic. He's so dedicated in everything he does, and it definitely shines through on-screen.

There's so many of his roles I love, comedic and dramatic. I really loved his role in The Green Mile - I to this day, think he was robbed of an Oscar for that one.

I think Colin is definitely on his way to being great. I just hope people see him for him, and not who his father is. I know children of big-name celebs can run in to that problem.

Courtney, very nice choices. I re-watched Forrest Gump the other day. I love him in Big. Only Tom could capture the innocence as genuinely as he did in that role, being an adult.

Oh, I also think Tom makes a wonderful romantic comedy lead. He's definitely that guy you just want to get the girl in the end.

ETA: I prettied up our OP a bit...hope you guys like it.

The OP looks awesome Anji

Tom is an amazing actor. His acting skills are over the top. Definitely one of my favourite male actors.

I feel like rewatching You've Got Mail now. His chemistry with Meg Ryan (another favourite of mine) is so great.

Thanks, Ray.

He really makes acting - really remarkable acting - look so effortless. He's just that good. And even that's an understatement.

I watched Turner & Hooch again the other night...it still makes me cry.

He does

Let's see, what have I seen of his movies? Castaway, The Terminal, You've Got Mail, Sleeplesss in Seatle, Big. I need to watch The Davinci Code

It's like he makes movies watchable just by him being there.
