Monday Night Poll: What's Your Favorite Tom Hanks Hairstyle?
Filed under: Thrillers, New Releases, Sony, Fandom, Religious, Summer Movies, Polls

(Clockwise, from upper left: Splash, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Castaway, The Ladykillers, The Da Vinci Code.)
Our last two polls covered Star Trek : anticipated box office returns (most folks guessed too high) and 1-10 rating (most folks were very impressed). Those polls are still open, but we thought it was time to let our hair down and move on to this week's big opener: Tom Hanks in Ron Howard's dramatic thriller Angels & Demons.
Based on the novel by Dan Brown, Angels & Demons follows Professor Robert Langdon as he again uses his expert knowledge of symbology to uncover an international conspiracy involving the Catholic Church. Though the book was written before The Da Vinci Code, the events take place afterward. When Hanks and Howard previously teamed on the film adaptation in 2006, Hanks' hair got plenty of attention. As Eric D. Snider noted, "If you recall nothing else about The Da Vinci Code, surely you remember that Tom Hanks sported a ghastly mullet in it. So the important thing to know about Angels & Demons ... is that Hanks' hairstyle has been corrected. So that's a relief."
But did you love Hanks' "ghastly mullet" in The Da Vinci Code? Or are you a bigger fan of his earlier, funnier hairstyles in movies like Splash, his first collaboration with Howard? How about the Forrest Gump flat top? The Castaway outgrowth? Or the Colonel Sanders hair from The Ladykillers? Inspired by a classic post at TheJay.com, please take our silly little poll and tell us: What's your favorite Tom Hanks hairstyle?
When you're finished with that poll, head on over to Moviefone and vote for your favorite Tom Hanks performance.

I don't have a favorite, he has unfortunate hair. By far the worst is his latest everyday look. That is the worst "toop" I have ever seen. You would think with his bucks, he could afford Hair Club or something.

He looks good with his natural hair TYPE, which is curly. Curly hair, in my opinion, looks best when it's semi-short, or else you begin to look like you have a poodle sleeping on your head.
I don't understand why Tom, who I consider a smart guy, would plaster on straight black hair, resembling an Aztec Indian. The rest of him just doesn't match it. He's a nice looking Jewish guy, why change the look?
