Based on David Mitchell's award-winning novel of the same name, Cloud Atlas is as beautiful and weird as it gets.

Adapted from a 1996 Stephen King novel, we'd have to say The Green Mile is one of Hanks's greatest performances to date. It tells the story of a convicted murderer on Death Row who possesses unique, supernatural gifts. Hanks plays one of the prison guards tasked with the major moral dilemma of keeping the man from execution. It was nominated for several Academy Awards, so you know it's good.

We can't get enough of Hanks and Shelley Long is the 1986 knee-slapping comedy The Money Pit. When a young couple move into a fixer upper, their lives quickly fall into both a literal and figurative sinkhole in the remodel process. You'll laugh, cry, and feel a genuine sense of relief that it's not happening to you.
