I voted for Big, since I quite like it when i was younger. Not really interested in re-watching any of the othersm and can only vaguely remember them now. I did watch a bit of Joe vs The Volcano a short while ago, though... :o Pretty Crap.

Out of these, Big. But my fave Tom Hanks comedy, other than Toy Story, is Sleepless in Seattle.

Big, one of the best 80's comedies.

I was gonna put Toy Story and Sleepless In Seattle in but thought I'd go for old school Tom Hanks.

I'd vote for Big! myself.

well to be honest, most of these flicks are rather blah.

I had to vote for Tuner and Hooch for sentimental reasons. Big is the best movie on the list while Splash and Punch Line are right behind.

Makes me really see just how far this guy has come.

I'm gonna go against the grain and say The 'Burbs. Big I still like, but I can't seem to get into it nearly as much as when I was young...Burbs though, I still love to see.

He is brilliant in PUNCH LINE. Watch that scene when he's performing in the hospital...shivers, man.

I love Dragnet baby! One of Aykroyd's best too. I am not really a fan of Hanks in comedies, his dramatic films are far superior. I also feel Big is overrated.

I think A League Of Their Own is excellent and funny.

BIG
Joe vs the Volcano

The Burbs. It was neck & neck between The Burbs & Big, but Corey Feldman put The Burbs over the top.

The 'burbs would be my second choice! I love this movie I've seen it over 100 times at least by now.

On that list, it has to be Big (7/10), but out of all of his romantic comedies, I like You've Got Mail (7/10) the best.
