[ESQUIRE] "Saving Private Ryan" Is Tom Hanks's Best Movie

He is a national treasure with two Oscars, who has also made some stinkers. Here's all 53 of his live-action movies, ranked.

As chronicled in Julie Salamon’s shiv-wielding, diaristic takedown, The Devil’s Candy, Brian De Palma’s take on Tom Wolfe’s zeitgeisty ‘80s bestseller was an endless series of bad decisions and confounding casting choices. After countless late-night viewings on HBO in the ‘80s, this Tom Hanks-Shelley Long screwball comedy about a pair of new homeowners at the mercy of a fixer-upper country house that refuses to be fixed up lives rent-free in my head. There’s plenty here to keep you mildly entertained, including an only-in-the-‘80s Mad Libs supporting cast featuring Carrie Fisher, Bruce Dern, Corey Feldman, Rick Ducommun, and Henry Gibson.
