Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Permission to Dream Colossally)

Probably the same thing they think when they see any movie without cell phones.
This has to be it. As far as other sports are concerned we've sat next to Colt and his wife at a basketball game and we've walked into the Disch at the same time Colt and his son were walking in.
I just disagree strongly about being the best movie on the list.
Its Oscar win is seen as one of the biggest mistakes in cinematic history.
me either, but, I know it's a much wilder version...thought you actually posted about this years ago...obviously not
I'm a RtP truther...it will always be on my Hanks T10
.
It's an interesting movie to discuss.
I'm not sure that it stands the test of time like some others.
There have been a lot of adults who have played kids - Freaky Friday, 13 Going On 30, etc. etc.
Hanks freaking nailed it on Big. A great performance. Before that he was pretty much only seen as a comedian, but Big was way more than merely funny.
Now Ketch, you think that folks give you a hard time about GG…but we also remember your insisting that Hudson had “elite arm talent”. So that is kinda on you amigo.I can set my watch on you seizing on any moment where Card doesn't have a good game.
He does have elite arm talent. He's not a good player right now. That's his issue.
Look at his career before Philadelphia then look at it after. Philadelphia is a watershed movie in his career. Not sure what test of time you think it fails.
I guess you and I will never agree on this, and that’s fine. Fifty years from now people will still be watching Forest Gump. Big will die with us.
It's a movie with a lot of problems.
Hanks is great in it, but the movie itself has all kinds of questionable areas.
FILM COMMENT : Why I Hated 'Philadelphia' : A playwright and gay activist goes to see Hollywood's first major AIDS movie and comes away bitterly disappointed
"Philadelphia" is a heartbreakingly mediocre film.

I think it's a movie that older white people overrate because it's such a boomer movie.
I've listened to young people talk about it on a bunch of different movie podcasts and it's kind of treated like a joke in a lot of ways.

That’s like hating on Stairway IMO. Some people have to hate on something to pump themselves up.
Fifty years on, Forest Gump will still be a movie that captured a huge swath of life in an interesting time. Big will simply be a footnote apart from people actively studying Tom Hanks.
The category was best movie, not quintessential Tom Hanks movie. I enjoyed Big. It was quintessential Tom Hanks. It’s simply not an all-timer.

Here are some other Hanks lists on the Internet. Big vs. Forest
Rolling Stone: 10 (Forest) vs. 2 (Big)
Esquire: 6 (Forest) vs. 4 (Big)
The Guardian 3 (Forest) vs. 8 (Big)
Colllider: 8 (Forest vs. 1 (Big)
Every list will have both in the top 10. There's no strong consensus from what I can tell on random rankings I've looked. Flip a coin from list to list.
