I’m sure he was being facetious, but if it were true, what are the 4?

1 The Burbs
2 Toy Story 3
3 A League of Their Own
4 Big

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Seriously… that is a f’n classic. What’s wrong with you, Mickey? And yes, The Burbs is up there. Very underrated movie. Saving Private Ryan is up there, too. If I had to pick a 4th, I don’t know but I’d ask about Cast Away - how many people could carry a movie by themselves?

No one picked Forest Gump? Didn't that win an Oscar?

Saving Private Ryan and Catch Me If You Can are the only two I can say for sure.

I've always assumed Apollo 13 holds up, but it's been forever. Apollo 13 is good, right?

Omg. Splash would def be in my top 4 if I thought of it. Forrest Gump was also awesome. Tom Hanks was great.

I need to see The Green Mile again. I’ve only seen it once and have no memory of it.
