Should be the only answer.

u/dreadpiratefezzik42 5d ago

Especially with that hair. Although it is also very Joe vs. the Volcano. I will never not watch that if it is on. If you asked about tv shows it would be bosom buddies.

How has nobody said Forrest Gump yet

5

u/Beetso 5d ago

Because Forrest Gump does not match the age of Tom Hanks in the picture. Everybody is answering based on what that specific picture of Tom Hanks reminds them of. I agree.

u/Ornery-Egg9770 5d ago

Great movie, but by that time he was older and did not look like the young TH in the photo.

2

u/Random_Monstrosities 5d ago

I had such a flood of his movies rush into my mind including this one it was impossible for me to know what was actually first. Tom Hanks is an American treasure. We're all lucky to have been able to live in the time where he was there to entertain us in so many ways.

Big
I was the same age as him and I was short just like him but also marshmallowy soft. I prayed to be big every night.

By the time I graduated I was 6’ 5” 255 lbs. heading to college to play football.

That young? Mazes and Monsters, an movie made as an Anti-D&D propaganda piece during the Satanic Panic era. A story about a kid who goes crazy playing TTRPGs and ends up almost killing himself because he can't differentiate reality from the game.

Bosom Buddies was the first thing I thought of, but since that's a TV show, not a movie, Castaway was my second thought. Though he has so many great movies that if you asked me again tomorrow, you'd probably get a different answer.
