Good, Bad, and the Ugly
Movie lovers are a very diverse group. Tom Hanks has received Oscar nominations for Saving Private Ryan, Castaway and Big plus won for Philadelphia but I think Forrest Gump remains his best work to-date. He carries the movie, which is excellent by itself, from start to finish. There are great lines throughout, which Hanks delivers with perfection. And I will stop myself from getting into the rest of the cast.Forrest Gump.....no way could I watch that more than twice....
lol! Sometimes I forget having seen David Niven's version.I love movies, so this list could be longer:

I was nervous about the rebooting of the Ian Fleming series with Daniel Craig. The few movies I had seen him play in prior to Casino Royale were Layer Cake and Lara Croft Tomb Raider, and Road To Perdition, so it was not a lot to go on. How would they re-imagine the franchise's stories with, what I would define as, a relative unknown? Craig did not only put my fears to rest. He buried them.
For me (and just my opinion any Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan fans reading this) Craig is the best Bond since Sean Connery. Bar none. I have watched and enjoyed pretty much every 007 film but Skyfall remains the one Bond movie I ever bought for my home collection. primarily due to Craig's performance. Now I am starting to wonder who will eventually take HIS place.
