I rewatch the Money Pit it's not that good almost no laughs almost every joke falling flat but not this movie this movie is so good
shareI did like The Money Pit but The Burbs is IMO one of Tom Hanks's best movies.
shareIt's right up there for sure. I've never heard Tom Hanks even mention it, so I don't know if he knows how good it is.
He has a handful of great ones - I might put The Green Mile on the same level as the Burbs.
While I will say Wild Bill's song about Eduard Delacroix's execution is very entertaining I don't think it holds a candle to the greatness of the Klopeks.
shareHA! I've never thought of that moment as the defining one, but you have made me imagine the Klopeks working...or maybe locked up...on the green mile.
shareIt's actually his 3rd best after:
1) Cast Away
2) Saving Private Ryan
Everything else he's done is kind of meh, even Big and Captain Phillips. Those films aren't seared into the back of my mind
like 1 & 2 are. They're merely just fine.
This movie is also elevated by Carrie Fisher looking her best IMO, so there's that.
Tom Hanks is an amazing actor with dozens of top tier movies…
…but yeah, The ‘Burbs is definitely his best. Not even joking.
I wish he made comedies again.
shareDragnet was pretty cool too.
