Jayhawk the Hutt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 16 minutes ago, DAR said: I do wonder if he's one of those actors we take for granted now. He definitely is. It's probably due to the fact that he is such a mainstay. He's been big (heh) since the 80's, and he's been consistently one of the most popular and respected actors until today with no real downturn. Also, no controversies to speak of, married to the same woman for 30 years, etc. We are gonna miss him so much when he is gone, which is hopefully a long, long time from now. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus everyone's cranky old uncle who disagrees with him politically still likes him because of his involvement with WWII vets and his interest in NASA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTUS 2020 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 17 minutes ago, DAR said: Top ten Rank Hanks(off the top of my head and plenty of omissions) 1. Apollo 13 2. Saving Private Ryan 3. Big 4. Toy Story Trilogy 5. Forrest Gump 6. Captain Phillips 7. Catch Me If You Can 8. Cast Away 9. Road to Perdition 10. Bachelor Party(it has a coke snorting donkey, what other two time Oscar winner has that on his resume) Well 2 time winner Sean Penn's Spiccoli high the entire movie is a close second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanks is such a likeable actor, even when he has a bomb, it doesn't affect his next films. I would like to do something different like a comedy or maybe a role similar to his role in Road to Perdition. The Langdon series is likely the closest he'll get to a tentpole as I imagine he's too expensive for a superhero film. After working with Eastwood, maybe he should be paired with Leo, Affleck or Cruise in some sort of drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Got tickets for Sully, matinee on Sat. Me and my bf gonna be easily the youngest there for sure. Being in a room full of @NuTella Lover of Sky Beams will probably be slightly creepy. The trailer didn't interest me. But I have watched almost everything Tom Hanks is in, and this weekend has nothing else to offer so...well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmlover Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think Sully is in for a Best Picture nomination now tbh. The box office is looking to be sensational, and WB has nothing else for the Oscar race either (it's clear Live By Night isn't getting a qualifying release at this point). They always have a movie in the race every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'd like to see Hanks and Michael Keaton together in something since up until Big and Batman their paths seemed pretty similar. I imagine they both were up for a lot of the same roles in the 80's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAR Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I thought Silence is getting a release. But with Sully I guess Eastwood and Hanks can always be reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually never seen Bonfire. Philadelphia is good but it sometimes feels a little too TV movie of the week. And Sleepless is very cute.

Also, I think Hanks will get the "welcome back" nomination for this that everyone thought he would get for Captain Phillips 3 years ago, especially with how young the Best Actor race is shaping up to be.

The movie was heart wrenching. Bonfire was one of those movies when I watched, I thought it was gonna be one thing then it totally went left but I enjoyed it.

Maxmoser3 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Not bad numbers for Sully and When The Bough Breaks. A $32-$35 million debut for Sully could be in play. While a $15-$16 million debut for When The Bough Breaks. But horrendously horrible for The Wild Life it could do between $1-$2 million OW with those numbers ouch. That's way worse than Alpha & Omega's debut 6 years ago around the same timeframe. Dissappointments Room looked like a bomb from the start, with little to no marketing efforts on Relativity's part, and it being delayed multiple times. The film should've been a VOD or straight to DVD release instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
