I'm sure his doesnt consider them his best but his 80's comedies were some of my favorite movies as a kid.

The Money Pit, Volunteers, The Burbs, Turner and Hooch, Splash, Big, Dragnet,

Considering he won Oscars for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, I am going to assume those are automatic inclusions. After that I'll say Big and Saving Private Ryan

Hanks is a douchebag. He is probably including The Post and Bridge Of Spies.

I think we can all agree he has made more than four really good movies.

I find Tom Hanks movies more brain stimulating and filled with emotion than anything Tom Cruise has done. I respect Tom Cruise but his movie roles don’t move the needle for me.

Wrong. He actually only had three pretty good movies: Big Apollo 13 Saving Private Ryan Everything else was good at best (assuming pretty good > good). He has put out a ton of shite for someone so highly regarded.
These things are subjective, but let’s just say that 99.9% of moviegoers disagree with your assessment.

No one has brought up "Catch Me If You Can" so all your opinions are invalid.

I doubt he'd ever consider that.

He's a walking zombie in that made for TV Hallmark movie.

I mean Meg Ryan is the focus of the movie. He's just some depressed widower that she chases after.

Schindler's List won in '93 (Philadelphia wasn't even nominated for Best Picture)

GTFO with Big being a top 4 TH movie. Big is a solid movie but it is a comedy and while it is a good movie it is not nearly substantial in comparison to his other dramatic roles.

Castaway is nowhere near his too 4 IMO.

I don't know what the numbers say, but Cast Away (two words) is my favorite Tom Hanks film.
