Yep Hanks is good, but he's over 50 now, which I guess makes him almost as old school as Jack and the gang.
I think we may have strayed a bit here from the original post which may have been more concerned with the quality of the acting and script than the topics presented or scope of production.
FWIW, I think Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy was as fine a set of movies as any made. The acting and character development may not have been the stuff of legend, but the result certainly was outstanding. While much of the pap that oozes out of Hollywood isn't worthy of a trailer on Jerry Springer, there still are fine films being made.
Sort of like audio gear and music; you just have to dig for it!
