How can you not love him? A kind, modest and incredibly talented actor who has not been unnoticed in any high-profile scandal. 
When we see that Tom Hanks starred in a film, it becomes a kind of sign of quality. After all, his acting range is truly amazing: from cute and comical characters to deep dramatic roles. Here are, perhaps, his best roles.
"Philadelphia" 
For 1993, this film was unusually bold. This is practically the first film in the history of cinema on the topic of homophobia. You have to be a really brave person to play such a role at that time. Tom was not afraid and received his well-deserved Oscar for this role.
"Forrest Gump" 
In 1994, a film was released that became a real breakthrough and instantly became a classic of world cinema. "Forrest Gump" is included in all lists of the best cult films in the world.
Tom Hanks became the second actor in film history to be awarded two Oscars in a row. The success was simply crazy, but it did not in any way affect Hanks’ modesty or performance.
Terminal" 
The duet of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks is, of course, greatness. The movie is quite simple, understandable and kind. The role of a man who, during a flight on an airplane, became a citizen of a non-existent country, occupies an honorable place in the actor’s track record.
"Splash" 
The story of love between a man and a mermaid turned out to be very touching and romantic: a transparent sea, Hanks’ wild curls and young Daryl Hannah. The romantic comedy became an excellent point in the actor’s track record.
In 1985, this film by Ron Howard received an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, followed by a Golden Globe.
"Gentlemen's Games" 
This role is notable for the fact that it is the only one in Hanks' career where he played a negative character. The film itself can hardly be called a true masterpiece, but Tom the villain is definitely worth a look.
"Outcast" 
Monofilm. It's rare that an actor has the talent to pull off a full-length film without the viewer getting bored and tired of the same face. Is there anyone who could hold back tears during the volleyball scene...?
"News from all over the world" 
And here's a new one. The film was released in 2020, shot in the style of a western and road movie. In short, this is a story about how loneliness is only our choice, and it doesn’t really exist.
Tom Hanks' partner in the film was 13-year-old Helena Tsengel, with whom the actor formed an excellent duet. 
Of course, these films are not a complete list of Tom Hanks' works. Share your favorite roles of Hollywood's most important good guy in the comments.
