I like The Terminal as well, always worth a watch

Another Terence Malik masterpiece, I’d say saving private Ryan is actually quite comical when compared to it.
1) Bachelor Party - When Hanks could play a funny character.
2) Philadelphia - When Hanks played a serious character.
3) Road to Perdition - when Hanks finally stopped hamming it up.
4) Toy story - so I don’t actually have to see his face.
If I was having a private bbq in my caravan on the Dollingstown pitch, then 100% Tom Hanks would be invited.
Saving Private Ryan, beach landing scenes are some of the best cinema I've ever experienced.
Book ended by sugary nonsense - and, given that in July 1944 the US army is losing 1000 men a day, a general and pentagon fella rock up and decide now that they absolutely have to save Matt Damon, because reasons. Not disputing the last son rule, but that it's deemed urgent that Hanks and his motley crew of cliches have to go backpacking around Normandy at that very moment.
Our gang of hikers set off, because the German army has wandered away like Everton's marking at a corner, and encounter a machine gun nest in the middle of nowhere, again because reasons Hanks decides to attack it - not call it in for airstrike or a unit backed with artillery - no they must attack it and not with the super sniper, nah, run up the hill at it like they are trying to chase an angry dog away from their child.
German prisoner dilemma, nonsense. But, briefly, it sort of explains the whole nonsense premise of the movie, we'll send soldiers off on a wild goose chase where they will make bad military decisions, not kill the enemy, because winning wars is all about rescuing people. Not deploying assets to shorten the war by killing as many of the enemy as quickly as possible and therefore secure the return of more of our sons but by rescuing soldiers.
I am fortunate enough to have never witnessed any war or suffering of any significant kind, unless you count Fulham away a few years ago when someone served my bruschetta with a bit too much basil - but I digress. My instinct is that movies like this do nothing but give politicians an extra layer of ignorance to hide behind when they send our soldiers to kill and be killed.
Spielberg has given the world cinematic masterpieces no doubt, Schindler's List springs to mind, not this metaphor laden nonsense.
Big fan of Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons , but that could be more about the great settings for filming

Not in his top 5 by any means but I thought Elvis was very well done. I’d say it’s a big shout that’s he’s probably been in the most great films of any living actor
Think you've mixed him up with Danny Dyer there, mate
The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan, Road to Perdition, Apollo 11 also, Castaway and

Masterpiece - like world class - is a term that gets banded about too lightly, but this is art of the highest order.
Anything " real life " he ever does, is always worth watching, just for the sheer comedy value.
I remember the one, he did with the Special Forces.
They made him run up a flight of stairs as a warm up and he puked his guts up at the top lol
I`m pretty sure @ForeverBlue92 models himself on him too.
