    You want a stupid Spielberg movie?  Duel....so fucking stupid, but I watch it every time because of the stupidity.
    His Columbo episode is one of the greats; I’ll give him that.

    It's insane how many great movies this guy is in. 
    That's true. There's no way to please everybody. Unless, you decide to do a second poll...and third...

    I thought Catch Me was good.  Also That Thing You Do and Ladykillers.

    This is the greatest piece of work that Tom Hanks has ever done.

    This is not up for debate.

    Catch me was a great movie but Leo was the star in that one.  He killed it.

    Who would've been a better choice? I don't mean that in a defensive way, I'm just curious.

    Edit: You mean killed it in a good way, I bet. I misunderstood.

    Personally, I would've liked to have seen Leo stick with movies like Total Eclipse and What's Eating Gilbert Grape?   

    Then again, he would've had a hell of a time pursuing models after that. That would've been the true challenge.

    A Leo Dicaprio poll would be good....lots of great movies for him

    I thought he was great in Django and OUAT in Hollywood

    I agree with you about OUAT in Hollywood. I got about halfway through Django and never finished it. I'll have to give that one another go.

    Cast Away (2000)
    I did not see a mention of The Money Pit?  THAT was a movie I watched over and over. 2 parts made me laugh uncontrollably, when he falls in the hole and the rug swallows him up and hes making airplanes out of the money and when the house starts falling apart and he yells laughing at the chaos in front of him.

    Basketball Diaries.  He has never been better than that IMHO.

    Yeah that was a good one.  Not the greatest acting by Wahlberg but a good movie.

    I really thought Leo was great in the Revenant also.

    I’m not a fan of him (the man), but that was a good watch.

    I think all my favorite movies of his aren't on the list: The Burbs, Turner and Hooch, The Man with One Red Shoe, animated flicks (Toy Story and Polar Express), Splash, The Green Mile.

    Never really liked Gump, but I did enjoy the rest of his movies on the last.
    The Burbs?  Awful attempt at dark comedy.  It was to show acting range I guess but that isn't even a cult classic it's so bad.
    You're right about Basketball Diaries, but wrong about this one. The 'Burbs is one of the best Tom Hanks films ever!

    He also voted against Cast Away. 

    Somebody should kick his dick in.
