I am not a big Tom Hanks fan, but his performance in Cast Away is epic, and he was totally robbed out of an Oscar. I think Russell Crowe got it for Gladiator, which is an absolute joke if you look at both movies now in hindsight.

To bring your list to five, I’ll throw in one I’m surprised hasn’t been mentioned already:
