Okay, I'm not a Tom Hanks fan. I LOVED HIM in "Bosom Buddies". I don't know why but I just don't care for him that much, sorry. Don't even try!! ...I've seen "SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE" AND "YOU'VE GOT MAIL" and that's about it...LOVE MEG RYAN...and he's actually tolerable with HER. However, *DUCKS* I've never seen 'FORREST GUMP'...sue me. THE SOUNDTRACK, however, is AWESOME!!
Next...because it was mentioned on DB's board (in a roundabout way), another one that is EXCELLENT (and a great representation of the times--not just the year, but the era, and the changes that are in the wind...) is "AMERICAN GRAFFITI"--one of my favorites!! (and a TON of people got a big break in that movie...there's tons of people in that movie that were virtually UNKNOWN until that movie came out.)
And...@ PEGS: Sorry, better late than NEVER:
I like "HELP!" WAYYY BETTER THAN "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT"!! I love that movie...LOL!! And, the soundtrack to "Help!" has what very few Beatles songs that I can still hear without my ears bleeding. LOL!! AND--omg...I LOVED THEIR HOUSE!
I loved the "spy movie" incidental music...HOWEVAH--my VERY, VERY, VERYVERYVERY favorite Beatles song is on "A HARD DAY'S NIGHT"--"I SHOULD'VE KNOWN BETTER."
