"Top 10 Tom Hanks Movies"," It wasn't until in 1980 that Tom Hanks made his movie debut in the slasher flick ""He Knows You're Alone"" and although he appeared in various TV shows, including one episode of ""Happy Days"", it would be four years before his next movie. In the same year Hanks also starred in ""Bachelor Party"" one of many less than memorable movies which he made during the 80s. Although whilst such movies as ""The 'Burbs"" (1989) and ""Joe Versus the Volcano"" (1990) were box-office flops they have got a little better with age. But it was his portrayal of Andrew Beckett in ""Philadelphia"" (1993) which would show everyone what a great actor Tom Hanks was and he won his first of two Oscars for the breath taking performance. It was this speech which was the inspiration for the 1997 movie ""In & Out"" featuring Kevin Kline. Hanks was now on a roll and in 1995 he appeared in two hugely successful movies, firstly reuniting with Ron Howard for ""Apollo 13"" and then voicing Woody in the first of 3 ""Toy Story"" movies With his next movie ""That Thing You Do!"" (1996) Hanks would not only act but he also directed and his behind the camera work continued as he produced, co-wrote, and co-directed the HBO drama ""From the Earth to the Moon"". And so it continues with Tom Hanks having starred in some of the biggest and best movies over the last decade with the likes of Stephen King's ""The Green Mile"" (1999), his outstanding solo performance in ""Cast Away"" (2000), gritty anti hero in ""Road to Perdition"" (2002), stranded foreigner Viktor Navorski in ""The Terminal"" (2004), Robert Langdon in ""The Da Vinci Code"" (2006) and more recently reprising his role as Woody in ""Toy Story 3"" (2010). And I wouldn't be surprised if he got a third Oscar before long.
