    That could be said of about anyone. And the films you mentioned are over 30 years old. Hardly anyone in Hollywood has more quality films than Tom Hanks.

    Maybe Leo, but that’s about it.

    I can't believe you guys are engaging him on this.

    Leo hasn't done anything that brought renewed recognition and honor to the generation that fought WW2, and Hanks did it multiple times (Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers). There is deep cultural value in what Hanks has done that kind of makes bringing up other projects as if they could possibly tarnish that... It suggests a mental defect, imo.

    Like a monkey smearing his shit on a window in such a way as to resemble Mona Lisa's smile.

    I love both of their libraries. You don’t have to try to convince me.

    I’ve never seen anybody get so excited to punch themselves in their own face.

    Is it hyperbolic to say Hanks is the greatest actor of all time?

    Not at all. would certainly seem the most prolific.

    I'm not sure. My initial reaction was "no," but I am not sure. Daniel Day Lewis is pretty damn good at being really different people.

    DDL is fair.

    Hanks wouldn’t be my pick, but I don’t think I could argue against it.

    Christian Bale, Tom Hanks, Leo, DDL, and Gary Oldman.

    Joaquin Phoenix is pretty damn good, too, at being a chameleon.

    His Lincoln was one of the best acting jobs I have ever seen.
