4) Ithaca (2015)
In Ithaca, set in World War II, this is a smaller yet poignant role with Tom Hanks playing the recently deceased father of a youthful telegraph messenger. Directing this very heartfelt film regarding grief, resilience, and family are Meg Ryan and Tom's wife, while his mere screen time hardly mattered as, even off the screen, he was a very significant moral guide for the movie's protagonist. His subtle, compassionate performance brings depth to this moving story of the power of letters and human connection during the war.
