Interesting observation on Hanks. One that I had somewhat observed, but could not put it into words.pool said:I don't particularly like Tom Hanks and although he has been in many very well made films, none of them are my cup of tea.
However, I think he is a good actor more for the space he gives other actors - he's better when he's more subtle.
Sometimes, it's what you don't say rather than what you do.
Of his movies, I think I enjoyed Bachelor Party only because of the amount of T&A; A League of Their Own because he played a pretty good washed up drunken ball manager (minor role). He did do a pretty good job on Big (until he decided to grow up near the end).
The rest of his flicks were similar in acting to Nicolas Cage.
I've often thought that a remake of "Bad Ronald" would be wild. He could live in the walls of the entire house and peek in on the life of the family that bought the place after his old lady bit the dust. For late night spankers, like me, there could be all sorts of T&A in it - The young girls getting banged by high school boys, the girls working a toy while Ronald does himself in the heating vent, the old man laying some serious pipe in the master bedroom ensuite...Well, perhaps a porno version of Bad Ronald could be made too.
Other movies I have actually enjoyed scenes out of:
* Blade Runner - At the end when Rutger dies.
* Jason & The Argonauts - When the skeletons came out of the ground to fight
* Planet of the Apes - Any scene with that human chick
* National Lampoon Vacation Movies - I love Beverly DeAngelo's mouth
