Very cool list, but sadly I had to google a few of the top 30 just to see their picture to identify them.
Samuel L Jackson at #1 by a large margin was surprising. Tom Cruise with 4 fewer movies than Hanks is also a shocker.

I disagree with you
lol
Why are you laughing? I find Clooney's movies much more interesting. I thought Captain Phillips was one of the more overrated movies of the past few years.
As to Clooney versus Cruise, that's a joke.
BTW, I never said Hanks wasn't in the top tier. I only said Clooney was.

It's not which movie is more interesting, it's which movie will make more money. No way would Clooney's make more money
I fucking hate Tom Hanks. He hasn't done anything worthwhile since Bosom Buddies and I would not have gone to see Gravity if he was in it.

sometimes you laugh even when you know the punchline

meh, this is like arguing over which car is better. some people are going to go with which they think looks cooler and some people are going to look at the vehicle's stats.
george clooney is a cool guy and has done some cool movies, but I just don't think he's as big a deal

Using the same logic, why not put Mike Meyers in Gravity as his films make more per release than either of them.
Clooney was the absolutely perfect pick for Gravity. Although there isn't much difference in age between Clooney and Hanks, Clooney appears a lot younger. An 60ish astronaut our spacewalking is not as believable. There also wouldn't have been the obvious chemistry with Sandra Bullock.
So, no Hanks would not have done better in that movie.
Not terribly convincing rj.

I didn't say better...but I think Hanks is a bigger draw on average than Clooney. Most of Hanks' films are bigger productions, but as someone said, Clooney also does the smaller things he enjoys making.
I don't think it would have made a positive difference. The chemistry between Clooney and Bullock was a key part of the film. Hanks would not have been as believable as a player as Clooney was.
It would not have worked as well. If it's not as good, less people buy tickets.
Similarly, Clooney would not have been as good as Hanks in the movie where Hanks lived in the airport. Clooney couldn't have been as good an everyman.

Yeah, Tom Hanks is just totally unbelievable as an astronaut.
