His career has spanned several decades and several genres.
What's your best Hanks film?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Forrest Gump.
Although tbf, he's pretty good in all of them.

Forrest Gump still probably my number one.
Philadelphia, Sleepless in Seattle all good.
Saving Private Ryan, The Green Mile, Philadelphia and Sleepless in Seattle I also enjoyed.
Hell, he's a great actor, so he's made a lot of movies I enjoyed.

Yeah, Forrest Gump here too. Gave it a rewatch a few weeks ago and it really holds up.
Hmmm difficult. Like asking me to choose my favourite bread. I mean they're all inoffensive but it's not the reason I ever buy the sandwich.
He is always good. I don't think he's appeared in any of my absolute favourite films, but a lot of his films are very good.
He's generally solid in whatever he chooses to do, but it would be nice to see him do something to rev things up like McConnaughey did with Killer Joe.
I get where you're coming from.

Definitely up there. Cracking little film.
The Burbs by miles.
The Burbs, Big, Bachelor Party, The Money Pit, Dragnet.
If I had to pick a movie starring that potato-headed, schmaltzy, teary-eyed buffoon, it would be Road to Perdition.
You're so 80's Olly.

Yep!He played the cowboy, potato head was Don Rickles
Castaway if you're struggling to sleep (actually love the film but it's perfect for dozing off).
The Burbs is one of my favourite films ever, not just Hanks.
The Burbs, Big, Green Mile or Turner and Hooch

Forrest Gump, but hes been in so many great films. One of the few actors that makes you forget who you're watching.
The Polar Express?
Joking, although my kids love that film.
Forest Gump will always be one of my favourite films. Jen-knee.

I think my favourite is The Burbs, closely followed by Catch Me If You Can.
Big was great.
Don’t know if I could choose just one but possibly Cast Away. Used to love Big and Money Pit when I was a kid as well.
Can't stand Forrest Gump, Burbs ftw.
Green Mile probably.
Forrest Gump and Castaway.
I also think his acting at the end of Captain Phillips when he's being treated by the medic is amazing.

Big
The Green Mile.
The green mile, Castaway, Forest Gump & The terminal.
Agreed he is pretty forgettable.
Don't disturb him while he's watching 1930's Hungarian war films.
Really? I never got that impression in anything he’s been in in the past couple decades or so. You get pulled out of the film once you hear his voice.
Maybe in the eighties when he was the anonymous average Joe, which is why he’s so popular in the first place.
Catch Me If You Can. Him and Leo are very good in it. No idea how distorted it is from the true happenings, but the story is cool either way.
Sorcerer, the other day.
Shout out for Charlie Wilson's War.
Cast Away.
Yep definitely Big.
