	@dojer : i don't agree. there is only 1 film that tom hanks has been in that will fit the format. money pit / forrest gump / lady killers (etc) don't have that 4-4 or 5-5 beginning & end of word ladder split. @sprout please don't change.

	@squiggsy: that's why it says "4-letter word" above the answers

	perhaps if you made the first rung a clue that wasn't about a tom hanks film and then said on the last rung: first rung + last rung = Tom Hanks film. Line one could be something like what you get when you break a bone. Just seeing how many people miss the two it seems like its WAY too vague. When you have such little time you're nothing that well to think through all of his movies!

	I was trying to think of two seperate words, not parts if a compound word.

	@Cocky The movie is two words "Cast Away."

	Why are sporclers complaining about the first and last ones? Honestly it's not as if that movie has never been on a quiz before, and it's one of the most popular Tom Hanks films. Those were the first two I got O.o

	@rlorenz: So start in the middle and work your way out. It shouldn't be hard to get the ends that way.

	@picard It didn't when I took it. Thanks for all the votes down.

	I was missing only the first and last ones too, because I forgot that that was one of his movies, but it's still a good quiz. Not everyone knows Hanks movies well, but if you take the quiz you can't expect that knowledge not to come into play.
