You Have Got Mail
Let's get introduced to each movie one by one now.. :-)
This is unarguably the best of all Tom Hanks gem! :-)
And also one of the best movies ever too!
It's story is so simple, yet so inspiring and entertaining.. a combination seldom found in most movies..
It shows how Forrest Gumo overcomes his physical handicap and low IQ by doing only one simple thing - follow his mom's instructions and then his girl friend's without any doubt and with all of his heart!
What will stike us is that how a person despite his low intelligence or should i say BECAUSE of his low intelligence, manages to strike unprecedented success in his life... and that gets one thinking... HOW??!!
If one notices in the movie, it was because he did all the tasks with a single-minded dedication that he was able to master them and strike gold where his more talented mates failed!!
Because of his low IQ, Forrest never doubted himself or questioned his superior's orders... and through this simple deletion. he managed to overcome his physical handicap, excel in military services, becomes amazingly rich, wins the heart of an amazing girl... run across america several times (quite literally!) and just enjoy life!!
A powerful life lesson to be learnt here,,,, it is quite amazing to see the unlimited potential of qualities like dedication and belief, through this entertaining movie! Through the story of Forrest Gump this movie tries to show how many a times just being simple-minded can help you succeed ! :-)

I confess i avoided this movie for a long time, believing that it must be a boring tale, much like the phone booth !
But i couldn't have been more wrong!!
The character, became a victim of a very unusual situation, owing to which he was trapped in the airport terminal....
How he makes the best of the situation with his gentle, but determined nature, is what defines this movie and makes it again -- one of the best movies ever :-D
I just can't help it guys.. Tom Hanks IS one of the best!!! And of course, Catherine Zeta Jones looks vivacious !
Splash
And in this amazing movie, our hero Tom Hanks is seduced by a beautiful mermaid...
A seemingly common story, it is quite intelligently written, perfectly directed and with the perfect actors in this movie, it easily earns a place in the Best of Tom Hanks collection! ;-)
A romantic movie best seen with your love (and when no one else in the house ;-) ) on a lazy sunday afternoon or a saturday night, sipping hot chocolate from your favorite mug! :-)
And obviously the end will make you two do several naughty things - guaranteed ;-)
Philadelphia
It's a daring movie against discrimination towards HIV positive people... and also at the same time gripping. Both Tom and Denzel Washington have made it a brilliant film to watch!
The Ladykillers
A dark comedy which is a remake of a 1955 movie of the same name ... It lives up to the expectations and has a very apt end :-)
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
A very apt description on the poster itself, it is indeed a poetic and moving film about a boy who was very attached to his father (tom hanks) and loses him suddenly in the horrid terror attacks of 9/11.
Tom Hanks was a wonderful father and his death triggers Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the child who in a very mature manner ( that's how his father wanted him to be!) tries to deal with it....
Sandra Bullocks, as always, looks amazing :-)
Watch it wither alone or with someone mature enough to understand these kinda movies, and with zero disturbance... otherwise it's quite possible that you won't be able to connect with the movie and ultimately trash me! ;-)
Saving Private Ryan
Though mentioned at last, one of the best war movies, it is also one of the best Tom Hanks film too! :)
Set in Second World War and with Matt Damon and Vin Diesel, it is a movie which shouldn'y be missed at all! :--)
Cheers!!!
PS :-
Not included in this collection -- Cast Away and Da Vinci Code.... Didn't like the former when i saw it first... will have to see it again,... and as far as the latter goes, i believe that the novel and the movie both were hyped out of proportions!!

You have got to see it to believe what i am gushing about.. :)
The Green Mile
A truly unique emotional experience, is what this ultimate gem of a movie is!!!
Words are not enough to express the plethora of emotions we feel from the start till the end of the touching story of a beast of a slave who has the purest of all heart and magical god gift ....
This story is about false conviction, lies, cunningness, narcissistic ambitions vs. pure heart and intentions, good ol' human desire to do good unto others..... all packed in such an entertaining way that is sure to melt even the toughest of hearts ::-)
A must see!!! and i am sure once you see, you will agree with me that it is one of the best movies ever!!
The Terminal
I couldn't have described this movie better than what the poster on the right says... ::-)
There's a humanity in its humor, a sweet and delicate comedy, a film to take your breath away!
I confess i avoided this movie for a long time, believing that it must be a boring tale, much like the phone booth !

Charlie Wilson's War
A captivating movie that, through Senator Charlie Wilson's life, tells us how the US systematically created the Taliban. The movie very masterfully shows where the US went horribly wrong in it's calculations and that the single largest terrorist network that is pillaging this world, is actually a product of USA!!!
It's absolutely true ... for more on this topic, click here please.
Catch Me If You Can
Though not the protagonist, Tom Hanks has a significant role in this delightful movie which tells the true and fantastic story of Frank Abagnale Jr. a daring imposter who almost managed to gat away with his tricks... I wont divulge any more of the story,,, you need to seriously see this movie! :-)
An amazing entertainment! ::-)
