If I had to go with a director, I'd go with William A. Seiter.

Not a 'classic' director, but he had a very, very pleasing body of work.

Probably Tom Cruise

But Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Brad Pitt, and Robin Williams would work just as well for me.

Thank you for the Hanks post with the run times.

That's the actor I'd choose, but I'd have to take Polar Express off my playlist. Ain't no way I'm not falling asleep during that, even if I watched it first.

I'd replace it with a second viewing of Big or Bachelor Party.
