Happy 55th Birthday, Tom Hanks! What's His Best Onscreen Moment?

It hasn't been the best of Julys for Tom Hanks -- after all, Larry Crowne fizzled with both critics and audiences -- but that should change today, if only because it's his birthday! Hanx -- as he's known to his over 2 million Twitter followers -- was born in Concord, Calif on July 9, 1956, and here at Movieline we encourage you to celebrate the joyous occasion the only way that seems appropriate: by remembering his best onscreen moment.

Hanks has given dozens of great performances over his career -- from his Oscar-winning turns in Philadelphia and Forrest Gump to his voice work in the ridiculously successful Toy Story franchise -- so it seems hard to pick out a favorite. That said -- and going beyond the obvious choices -- you can't go wrong with a little A League of Their Own. There's no crying in baseball, nor on birthdays.
