5) The Bonfire Of The Vanities (1990)
Trending
In The Bonfire of the Vanities, the life of Sherman McCoy, a "Master of the Universe," begins to unravel after a tragic hit-and-run accident. Transposed from Tom Wolfe's novel, the film delves into issues of greed, race, and media exploitation. The movie was not capable of transposing the nicety of the novel, yet Tom Hanks as the morally confounded McCoy does a beautiful job of humanizing the fallible character. His comedic timing and dramatic instincts shine, making this a fascinating watch for those exploring his early career.
