“No one knows how a film is made – although everyone thinks they do,” he comments

Tom Hanks has left his fans guessing as he says he’s made just four “very good” movies in his 30-year career. The actor, who has been in Hollywood since the 1980s, when he starred in the films ‘Splash!’, ‘Big’ and ‘Burbs’.

During the 1990s, he began to win awards, including the Academy Award for Best Actor two years in a row for his roles in the films ‘Forrest Gump’ and ‘Philadelphia’. His hits in the 1990s include ‘Toy Story’, ‘You’ve Got Mail’ and ‘The Green Mile’.

Hanks has also collaborated several times with director Steven Spielberg in the film projects, ‘Saving Private Ryan’, ‘Catch Me If You Can’, ‘The Terminal’, ‘Bridge of Spies’ and ‘The Post’.

Hanks, promoting the first novel, The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece, told People: “No one knows how a movie is made – although everyone thinks they do.”

The actor and producer added: “I’ve done a lot of movies (and four of them are really good, I think) and it still amazes me how movies are made. From a flash of an idea to the image flashing on the screen, the whole process is a miracle.”

Hank’s comment left fans wondering which movies he was referring to. His admission implies that he is aware that many of his films have been poorly received over the years.
