Tom Hanks Movies

I can't say I agree with Tom Hanks and some of his opinions, but I do admire him as an actor.  He has been in some of the best movies ever, and much of the success is based on his acting and ability to portray a character.  He himself has said he has gotten better over time, but his early work is very good as well.  I think he is one of two actors who have won the best actor Oscar two years in a row for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump.
