Weekly Poll Results: Best Live Action Tom Hanks Movie

pollresultstomhanks

It was pretty clear from the outset that last week’s poll was going to be a two-horse race, but in the end Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan held on for the win over Forrest Gump. The movie accounted for a 25% of the total votes while Gump managed about 20%. Coming in a distant third was Joe Dante’s The ‘Burbs, which definitely finished a lot higher than expected (not that I’m complaining), while Cast Away and Road to Perdition rounded out the top 5. It’s interesting to note that one of Hanks’ two Oscar-winning films, Philadelphia, was pretty far down on the list at #13, while his directorial debut That Thing You Do! was almost at the bottom. Do you agree with these results?

1. Saving Private Ryan — 25%
2. Forrest Gump — 20%
3. The ‘Burbs — 9%
4. Cast Away — 8%
5. Road to Perdition — 6%
6. Catch Me If You Can — 6%
7. Big — 5%
8. Cloud Atlas — 4%
8. Apollo 13 — 4%
10. Joe Versus the Volcano — 3%
11. Bachelor Party — 3%
11. The Green Mile — 3%
13. Philadelphia — 2%
14. Splash — 1%
14. The Ladykillers — 1%
16. That Thing You Do! — 1%
16. Charlie Wilson’s War — 1%
18. Sleepless in Seattle — 0%

    Haha, did you disqualify animated movies because Polar Express would have obviously won?
