Audrey Tautou is another of his co-stars that I thought he had great chemistry with. They made The Davinci Code watchable.
 
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?
 
Meg & Tom have good chemistry! I wish they could do a third (and final) movie with each other. :nod:

What your favorite co-star of Tom's?
 
I love all those you mentioned as well. Nice to see another Terminal fan.

He and Meg do have something golden on-screen.
 
ipod make me confused sometimes.In fact,you can do wahtever you want to do just with a good tool.

I think transfer files from iPod to Mac need iMacsoft iPod to Mac Transfer.
Well,copy files from iPod to PC is easy for me with best software.
And, if you are looking for the best dvd converter, here it is.
Have a good day!
 
Nikki, I loved what you had to say about Tom/Meg and how romance in the movies used to be. I could not agree more! :love: I think the Tom/Meg on-screen pairing was the last classic type of romance seen on the big-screen. I recently got the special edition version of YGM (since I have to own ALL of his movies, and I hadn't realized there was a SE of that one till recently), and I like how they are compared to the classic greats like Spencer Tracy/Katherine Hepburn. I'd also include Rock Hudson/Doris Day. Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan just have that something special....as you said, they're about romance; not sex.

I want an apartment like his! Seriously, was that not the coolest apartment ever?! :thud: And I loved how he rigged all the machines so you didn't need any quarters. :lol:

Anytime. :D
 
I have never watched The Terminal, I'm not sure why. One of these days when I have some down time I'll rent all the Tom Hanks movies I haven't seen yet. :sigh:
 
I watched Saving Private Ryan for the first time last night and it just made me love Tom Hanks even more!
 
I actually feel the same about The Da Vinci Code, but I want to watch it because, well, it's Tom :look: From trailers I've seen, it's not one of my usual types of movies.

I thought The Terminal was a really good movie. It's been a while since I watched it, but from what I remember it was really enjoyable. Being set in the airport for the whole length of the movie could have been trouble but it was well-written and well-acted that you really don't even think about that.

It was a good mixture of drama and comedy. I really enjoyed watching him get acquainted with how to get money and be able to sleep (that was a funny scene lol) and such. The part where he shows her what he made was really great.
 
Sadia, I'm kinda the same way. I have it on DVD [just 'cause it's Tom Hanks], but I tried watching it...and it just wasn't for me. Not my kind of movie. So, I don't plan on seeing A&D...but I'll obviously get it on DVD, just for him. :lol:

I am planning on seeing TS3 though...even though I'm quite a bit older now. :blush: But you never outgrow cartoons. :P
 
They're the best. :love: Hollywood hasn't been lucky to find another Tom and Meg for this new generation, too bad for us. They're so sweet, so very charming. They don't need naughty lines or off putting sex jokes, it's all in the presence, in the darling chemistry that makes you want to smile and dance and fall in love with someone just like that. Because it's so dreamy and perfect. Ahhh, I'm done. :lol:

I'm bitter that new movies have replaced romance with sex. They will never find greatness like this going in that direction.

Hahaha, I KNOW! And then I want to move to Manhattan and live in his apartment with the darn trampoline and coke machine! :D

Thanks for starting the list!
 
His performance in The Green Mile gives me shiver-me-timbers. He's flawless. :thud:
 
I'd have to say my favorite Tom Hanks movies are The Green Mile and The Terminal. And the romantic comedies with Meg Ryan, Sleepless In Seattle and You've Got Mail, 'cause I think they've got some great chemistry.
 
Exactly, they make for a lovely romcom pairing to get lost in. :sigh:

I always want to jump on a trampoline after watching Big. And then it reminds me how I don't have one, but my neighbor does, and I'm so jealous. :lol:

ETA: I went ahead and started a fan listing in our OP, and just added everyone who'd posted. So, if anyone new would like to be added, just let me know. :)
 
What'd you think of The Terminal? The Da Vinci Code wasn't for me. But I agree with you, just knowing it's Tom, makes it seem more worthwhile.
 
:lol::D I should rent it. It's been SO long since I've seen a really good RomCom and who better than Meg & Tom, heh? As soon as I have some time again, I'll watch it.

I have the best time watching it, filming must have been a blast. Tiring but hey... :lol: I always feel so bouncy after watching Big.
 
Watched Road to Perdition again yesterday. He's good in that, but I think The Green Mile is the best he ever did.
Tom Hanks is basically epic in all his roles...
 
I thought Da Vinci Code was good - saw it in the cinema, you really need to understand to really get it esp since i hadnt read the book but i liked the movie and Tom was good and so was the female lead
 
I watched The Terminal again today. That's one of my favorite performances/movies of his. I find such humanity in it. He's so genuine. :love:
 
TTYD! just makes me feel good.

He was Forrest Gump, as you said. What he did with that role was beyond amazing.
