tom hanks films list
What films do you think are important?

Let me define my terms. I am not a fan of Tom Hanks but i thought that Saving Private Ryan was an important movie due to the opening 20 minutes regarding how the reality of war was shown. So taste aside, what films were either deep, effective, changed your view, moved you or just need to be seen.

For me in no particular order….

Planet of the Apes (original)
Schindler’s List
Apocalypse Now
Saving Private Ryan
Devil’s Advocate
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf
Platoon
Mississippi Burning
okay – Devil’s Advocate…… actor’s studio time. Test case 101. How to act & how to ham.

Reeves deilvers ham…. Pacino delivers soliloquy . . . as they should be……

If you really “cared” you would know this…..

Good question, and there are some good answers. Movies that come to mind in my opinion:
It’s A Wonderful Life (favourite film, about the measure of a good life),
Hotel Rwanda (about some of the worst and best of human nature),
The Shawshank Redemption (a moving movie and freedom, hope and friendship),
Dead Poet’s Society (sieze the day, live a good life while you can, stand up for what you believe in),
Rudy (never give up),
To Kill A Mockingbird (one of the best films I have seen),
Mr Smith Goes To Washington (always relevant how important freedom and love of country is, not just this week, James Stewart),
Pay It Forward (moving film, right to the end)
Scent of a Woman (integrity, and great acting)
Kokoda, Blood Oath and Gallipoli (Australian war films)
The Bucket List (was a good film I saw recently)
Little Miss Sunshine (a very good film)
Rear Window (another classic)
Old Yeller (gets to me too)
Citizen Kane (an important Classic)
Lord of the Rings movies (courage, friendship, great characters and effects)
Danny Deckchair (might seem dopey, but I really liked this film)
La Bamba (gets me every time, how important Richie was to his family)
The Power of One and Empire of the Sun (did the books justice I think)
Sound of Music, Oklahoma etc (musicals are important too for lifting the spirit)
Spider and Rose (road movie about life and respect for the elderly) and
Waking Ned Devine (I thought this was a good film too, with a good ending).
Good luck, hope you find some good new movies to watch from your question.
