5Top: Best director-actor combinations

Robert Zemeckis-Tom Hanks“Forrest Gump” (1994), brilliant in both its set-up and execution, marked a period that helped take both Zemeckis and Hanks into the cinematic stratosphere. Zemeckis accelerated his fascination here with the concept of digital imaging — having Forrest greet folks such as President Kennedy — and Hanks won the Oscar for the second year in a row, right on the heels of “Philadelphia.” Zemeckis also won and they would reunite six years later on “Cast Away,” which was a tour de force performance for the actor, possibly the best of his career and one which earned him his fifth nomination. In 2004, Zemeckis would reinvent how animated film are created with “The Polar Express,” and although the reviews were mixed, the film earned $179 million, which once again proved the duo’s box office resilience.
