‘The Killer’ with Michael Fassbender.

Thought it was brilliant, really well done.

He only has two Oscars, right? 'Philadelphia' and 'Forrest Gump'?

Or does he have one more?

I'm shocked he even has an oscar

Yes two best actor Oscar’s which is quite high….just looking it up he actually has more best actor Oscar wins than De Niro. De Niro has one best actor Oscar win and one best supporting.

Elvis for starters

Yes that’s a horrible film, I feel like this could be a thread all to itself.

There’s a turd thread?! Size, shape, colour, composition?
If not then please make it so @Daveysgingerlovechild

 

[The Binman]

'Forrest Gump' for starters.

He's also supposedly one of the most genuinely nicest bloke you'll ever meet:

I'd love to have a pint with him.

Hes a bad egg.

Watched 'Threads' last night. Wasn't as harrowing as I expected it to be.

Reece Dinsdale really is a crap actor. Also noticed a very young Bernie from Coronation Street.

It's reputation softens the impact but I think it'd proper get under the skin if I saw it fresh with no preconception. I thought Reece Dinsdale was fine in it though.

But now every time I see a post about Threads that silent, staring woman with the dead baby comes back into my head. Even this morning I thought it was the first genuinely cold feeling morning of the year and then immediately started thinking about Nuclear Winter.

Got in my head that film. Reckon it's definitely changed a few minds from 'I'd be a doomsday prepper survivalist type' to 'I'm getting as close to the nearest military base as possible in time for that bomb'.

Not sure tom hanks has ever made a non-bland film, not saying they are all bad but god they are beige. I'd rather made one great and three crap instead of the middle for ever

Cloud Atlas? More of an ensemble than a defined lead role though.

Saving Private Ryan, or the battle scenes anyway, definitely set the bar going forward and couldn't really be described as beige.

 

[Lapeno77]

Trying to think of his movies that broke out from his middle of the road stuff.

Perhaps road to perdition and saving private ryan (for me a bit overrated), and I think both would have benefitted from a different lead

Captain Phillips, especially the last few scenes, dealing with the trauma of what he'd been through

 

[Tommy Chong]

Hes a bad egg.

Well, he did cut this original scene from 'Forrest Gump':

So make of that what you will...

 

[Rita_Poon]

I don't do rom-com's, so: 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'You've Got Mail' BOTH get hard gas from me.

I see.

 

[Walken]

Wouldn't have a clue, think he deserved it for Philadelphia like

Hanks fits very nicely that 'very nice' aspect of American reflection. Toy Story series, oh he's wholesome, Apollo 13, he's the quiet hero next door family man, Splash, the great big kid with a heart as big as all outdoors, The green mile was a slight change of pace and still he was as pure as the driven snow.

I liked his odd ball efforts, Dragnet, Big, Joe vs the volcano.

He'll end up taking a leaf from Grant and playing some rum moody mafia don boss soon.
