6) Larry Crowne (2011)
This is the feel-good dramedy with Tom Hanks as the middle-aged Larry Crowne who reinvents his life after being downsized. He directed it and delves into themes about self-discovery and the strength to survive. Working alongside Julia Roberts, his teacher, and love interest, Tom does his usual: warm, authentic, and real. While the story is biased towards simplicity, it would not be possible for Hanks to make Larry's journey inspiring in an otherwise hopeless message about embracing change and finding joy in unexpected places.
