Subscriber nudge+ Posted August 15, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 15, 2021 Not sure about best, but Apollo 13 is my favourite, followed by Road to Perdition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted August 15, 2021 Moderator Share Posted August 15, 2021 Performance wise probably Captain Philipps. The acting in the scene when he gets examined by the doctor is outstanding. But I love all of his films (apart the Da Vinci Code ones). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted August 15, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 15, 2021 I can't pick which one would be his best as they are all good, but he won an Oscar for Forrest Gump so I would imagine that would be one of his best films.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted August 15, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'm with Tommy on Captain Phillips, he was superb in that. I also like his little mental breakdowns and ticks in Cast Away when he realizes he needs a friend and Wilson is really his only friend at the time.

Fun story, when I went to see Apollo 13 as a kid with my family, I sat down at the cinema and was pricked by a needle from a used syringe on the seat... I didn't say anything to my parents until after the film - but afterwards I had to go see a doctor and get bloodwork done. At the time, I didn't realise it... because I was pretty young... but I think they had to take my blood to check to see if I'd been given HIV or not. Then we didn't go to see films at the cinema for fucking years after that because of some inconsiderate junky leaving his shit around. But as a result, I don't really remember much about the movie and the words "Apollo 13" remind me of syringes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I just a a funny picture in my head, with young Dr. Gonzo in the cinema thinking "well, you're not the only one" when Tom Hanks said "Houston, we have a problem."

Eco Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'd saying Apollo 13 and Saving Private Ryan are the top 2. I love the old ones too, like Big, Sleepless in Seattle, Splash, League of their Own. I actually never saw, Captain Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the proper main guy in it though whereas all the other films listed had been. But it's one of my favourite films regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
