I'am a big Tom Hanks Fan so...I'll start there.
Me too.
"The Green Mile" tops the list. Certainly fiction, but somehow very believable. EXCELLENT FILM !!!
I agree. written by Stephen King.
"Forest Gump" of course. The way the producers and editors placed "Forest" in scenes of past historic events really amazed me! Only downside...they may have drawn it out a little too long.
Loved "Forrest Gump".
"Road to Perdition" Another film based in the 30's and also starring Paul Newman. I believe this was Newman's last film.
I like all the "Indiana Jones" adventures. I even have a hat just like his !
The best favorite of mine, "Raiders of the Lost Ark". It started, I blinked and it was over.
War Movies...well... and here is Tom Hanks again...."Saving Private Ryan" is high on my list. Maybe a little "HollyWoody" but excellent film none the less.
I agree.
"Memphis Belle" is also up there. The saga of a B-17 bomber crew, in WW II on it's last mission. An edge of the seat thriller with a happy outcome.
Never saw this one.
Not really a war movie (well, maybe the "Cold War") but considering my interst an involvement with aviation a space technology I would consider "The Right Stuff" very high on my list and finally "Apollo 13" (yep, Tom Hanks again with other very notables).
Apollo 13 is one film I occasionally see on my DVD collection.
Well, Enough for now.
Lets here somemore from you.

I didn't mention "Top Hat" in my original post. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers were an elegant dancing team. Loved the music from the old masters, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin and Cole Porter.
It's funny their dancing in the Green Mile. "It's like watching angels", is a memorable line.
