Tom Hanks may just be the most modest man in Hollywood.<\/p>\n

Despite building a career that spans more than 80 films and six Oscar nominations, the 66-year-old actor commented in a recent interview that only a handful of his movies are “pretty good.”<\/p>\n

Speaking with People Magazine while promoting his debut novel \u2014 a fictional story about the making of a big-budget superhero movie called “The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece” \u2014 the “Castaway” actor said it’s a “miracle” that any films make it through the production process.<\/p>\n

“No one knows how a movie is made, though everyone thinks they do,” he told the magazine. “I’ve made a ton of movies \u2014 and four of them are pretty good, I think \u2014 and I’m still amazed at how films come together. From a flicker of an idea to the flickering image onscreen, the whole process is a miracle.”<\/p>\n

Which four films he was referring to remains a mystery, but Hanks did give a clue in an interview last year. <\/p>\n

In an appearance on Bill Simmons’ podcast in November 2021, the actor was asked to list the three favorite films he had done in his career.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t do it according to the way the movies came out, I would do it by way of the personal experience that I had while I was doing them, which is very different,” he said at the time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He listed 1992’s “A League of Their Own”, 2000’s “Castaway” and 2012’s “Cloud Atlas” as the three best experiences he had making movies.<\/p>\n

Hanks, who won back-to-back Oscars for Best Actor in 1994 and 1995 for his performances in “Philadelphia” and “Forrest Gump”, told People that the process creating a movie can bring about feelings of “self-loathing” and ” joy” in equal measure.<\/p>\n

“Movie-making is very hard work over a very long period of time that consists of so many moments of joy slapped up against an equal number of feelings of self-loathing,” he said. “It is the greatest job in the world and the most confounding of labors that I know of.”<\/p>\n
