My Fav 5 Tom Hanks movies

Saving Private Ryan
Terminal
The “burbs”
Big
Cast Away

I think Saving Private Ryan has one of the greatest movie endings of all time.

But some think is should have ended different. {Video Embed}

My favorite Hanks film was also Saving Private Ryan. That was a terrific film. I also have to say that Forrest Gump is my second favorite (of his movies.)
