Ranking Tom Hanks

on
Tom Hanks' new movie "Sully" (about the landing of that passenger plane in the Hudson River a few years back) looks like an interesting one.

It's Hanks' 52nd motion picture, which I thought seemed like a low total.


A research site called PrettyFamous has ranked all 51 of his previous movies.  The team used six data points to assign each Hanks flick a Smart Rating on a scale of 0 to 100.

1. Rotten Tomatoes' Critic Tomatometer

2. Rotten Tomatoes' Audience Score

3. Metacritic's Metascore

4. IMDb Rating

5. Gracenote's movie rating

6. U.S. box office performance (inflation-adjusted)


Here are some of the results........

The worst (#51):
He Knows You're Alone (1980)

Rest of the Bottom 5:
The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990)
Elvis Has Left the Building (2004)
Larry Crowne (2011)
Angels & Demons (2009)

At the very top of the list:
Toy Story (1995)

Rest of the Top 5:
Toy Story 3 (2010)
Saving Private Ryan (1998)
Toy Story 2 (1999)
Captain Phillips (2013)

3 Toy Story movies in the top 5.  WOW

What about 3 of my favorites???
Forrest Gump (#6)
Apollo 13 (#7)
A League of Their Own (#22)
