    This is actually tougher than I realised. I thought hank's best performance was cast away, but my favourite films which he starred in were BIG and the green mile.

    I voted for, 'Other,' with The Burbs in mind. Of his serious roles, I felt his best performance was Philadelphia, & his best serious film, The Green Mile. Road To Perdition (both his individual effort, & the movie as a whole) would be his most under-rated.

    Why does cast away not get votes?

    Just makes me realize I don´t care about Hanks at all. Don´t think I have ever seen a movie of his twice.

    Most IMPRESSED by "Castaway", Because of the COMMITTMENT Hanks Gave to the Part...Dropping CONSIDERABLE Weight, Growing Out his Facial Hair BEYOND Extreme, etc...Then, he Conveys Sooooo MUCH by Saying Sooooo LITTLE...

    EXCELLENT Performance...

    REED Also Liked "Big", "Bachelor Party", "Forrest Gump" & Others...
