I am not going to New York to meet some woman who could be a crazy, sick lunatic! Didn’t you see ‘Fatal Attraction’?

Being such a huge movie fan, it took some time to select my favorite film actor. There are so many talented thespians out there, yet few have the ability to consistently put my bum in a movie theatre seat based solely on the fact that his is in a picture.

However, after much thought and a lot of searching on IMDb, I realized that my favorite actor is the great Tom Hanks. He’s brilliantly talented, versatile, prolific and, of course, (I’m told) a very nice guy.

Now I know some people like Tom Hanks for his early comedies while others prefer his later dramatic efforts. But I have enjoyed just about every movie he’s worked on. These are my personal favorites:

1. Sleepless in Seattle
2. A League of Their Own
3. Apollo 13
4. Philadelphia
5. You’ve Got Mail
6. That Thing You Do!
7. Toy Story
8. The Terminal
9. Catch Me If You Can
10. The Polar Express

(Awesome honorable mentions: Charlie Wilson’s War, Splash, Big, The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan and Cast Away)

What’s your favorite Tom Hanks flick?
