17) Sleepless in Seattle (1993)

In Sleepless in Seattle, Tom Hanks plays Sam Baldwin, a widower who inadvertently becomes the center of a romantic whirlwind after his son calls into a radio show. He does a heart-wrenching performance in playing Sam's vulnerability, warmth, and humor with effortless charm. He plays the man who cautiously re-learns love as very relatable and lovable. Starring with Meg Ryan for the first time, Hanks' understated chemistry adds to the magic that this old-fashioned romantic film remains a classic. Sleepless in Seattle still runs as one of the films that set his mark in emotional connectivity with audiences.
