i've seen three of the six movies on his list and i don't see why he couldn't seriously put them on a list of favorites.  course, i understand where you're coming from but i don't understand why you guys would feel the need to call him out on it.

[Jeremy Blackman]

There's a reason the word "favorite" is in the title of this thread. I'm not sure why one person's favorites are apparently so offensive.

dude haven't you read any of 03's posts man?

to answer your question...i'm being serious -- that should clear up any confusion. and to why I'd say such a thing...because I meant it.

Hanks picks "Space Odyssey" as favorite film

BERLIN (Reuters) - Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks picked "2001: A Space Odyssey" as his favorite film of all time and selected four other films among his "top five" that he had nothing to do with.

"I just can't see enough of '2001: A Space Odyssey'," the American actor told Germany's Bild newspaper in an interview published on Thursday. Stanley Kubrick directed the 1968 film.

Hanks also picked "Elephant" (2003) by Gus Van Sant because it "is one of the most moving films I've ever seen." He also listed "The Godfather" (1972) by Francis Ford Coppola, "Fargo" (1996) by Joel and Ethan Coen among his all-time favorites.

Hanks, who won two Academy Awards for best actor in "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump," rounded out his top five with "Boogie Nights" (1997).

The movie, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, is about the porn industry in the late 1970s and early 1980s and the social attitude of that era.

"That film was a revelation for me," said Hanks, 49, who has made more than 40 films.

He said he likes films that give the viewer a chance to ask themselves how they would react in a similar situation.

"That's what I'm looking for when I go to see a film, just like any other cinema-goer," he said. "The period, the topic or the genre don't matter to me. The only thing that matters for me is: 'boy, what would you do if that were you?"'

Kubrick - check
Coens - check
PTA - check

All we need to hear is if he's a fan of Wes Anderson or Herzog and he can be an honorary xixaxer.

I was gonna bump this thread last night.  This is far from what I could call my defintive top 5, but these are some movies I've watched in the past few months that I absolutely adore and if we were to do another decapentikon again, these would certainly have a spot in the top 30, most of them probably in the top 15.

1.  8 1/2 (I forgot this one on my first top 30, remembered it for my top ten.  I've watched about three times since we did the lists, and now it might be my favorite movie)
2.  Eyes Wide Shut
3.  L'Argent
4.  Pickpocket
5.  Ikiru

My only two Bresson, but I think I'm in love.  Honorable mentions of great movies I've seen recently:  Barry Lyndon, Amelie (although it isn't as good as every says it is, just so damn irresistable and lovable)).  

Take out Elephant and I really like Hanks' list.

Over time, I've grown more and more impressed with Hanks (as a person, at least). He is utterly "mainstream," of course, but he also seems very human, very nice, and at least somewhat adventurous in his sensibility (as exemplified in his unimpeachable list), none of which you often find in the mainstream.

I think it would be cool if Hanks were to work with PTA, actually--and that hardly seems an impossible scenario. As he ages, he could have the increasingly hip career Bill Murray has made for himself....
