BIG (1988)
A “big” hit about a kid trapped in adult’s body, which works almost entirely because Tom Hanks believably plays a 13-year-old boy.
A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (1992)
The rare sports movie by women, for women, and about women, plus it’s also really funny and has a bunch of memorable scenes and lines.

Tom Hanks bumbles through the greatest hits of Baby Boomer history, with nothing to say about any of it.
