I love "Big", hands down. When he nibbles on the little mini corn cob at the company party it just kills me. I know, it's not the coolest movie, but it is a cute one.
Here's the famous piano scene with Robert Loggia.
I can't believe all of you. You are so WRONG. The best Tom Hanks comedy: Bosom Buddies!(All seasons) Brilliant stuff!

Gotta be BIG. The scene with him and the woman who wants to spend the night is forever burned in my memory. "You mean like a sleepover?
Okay, but I get the top bunk! " hahahaha. For romantic comedy, You've Got Mail is pretty high on the list too.
It's still Big. It's a fun story, but when you see a grown man do things that are "normal" for 12-year-olds, it's funny and a little jarring. youtube.com/watch?v=dh0hnaj6Uh8.
If I'm up for a substantive movie, I'll take Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson's War. But if I'm looking for feel-good, then You've Got Mail wins out, even over Sleepless in Seattle. Why these two?
In both he's deft at playing against his strengths and is quite adept at making you love to hate him, without chewing up the scenery. Hanks generously leaves room for the other actors, and trusts the story to develop. So between these two, I'll give Charlie Wilson's War the victory.
Love this interview with clips interspersed, too.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
