Best Tom Hanks Films, Ranked by IQ Score
Four decades of America's most-trusted leading man. Every Hanks film, ranked by IQ Score.
Tom Hanks's filmography is the most-canonical leading-man catalog of the late-20th and early-21st century. Two consecutive Best Actor Oscars (Philadelphia 1993, Forrest Gump 1994), only Spencer Tracy had previously achieved that.
Anchor picks: Forrest Gump (1994) and Saving Private Ryan (1998) anchor the Spielberg-collaboration tier. Philadelphia (1993) won his first Best Actor Oscar. Cast Away (2000) is his most-canonical solo performance. The Bridge of Spies (2015) and The Post (2017) define his late-career prestige register.
