I just watched 'Philadelphia' and I can't believe this was the only time Tom Hanks and Denzel teamed up for a movie

Tom Hanks Denzel Washington Denzel Watchathon Andy Beckett Philadelphia Joe Miller Amazon
(L-R) Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks in "Philadelphia" (1993).
The Tom's Guide Verdict: 'Philadelphia'

Rating: ★★★★½ stars

Verdict: "Philadelphia" is an incredible story, centered around incredible performances from Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. Over 30 years after it premiered, it also serves as a time capsule for an era where hatred and fear targeted LGBTQ+ people more viscerally and publicly than it does today (not that it's gone away). But the reason to watch this film is undeniably Hanks, who puts on a performance that will break you, and that we'll never see from him again.

Where to watch: Buy or rent "Philadelphia" digitally from Amazon now

I'm now in week 15 of the Denzel Watchathon, which means it's time to watch "Philadelphia." Now, Denzel Washington has a storied career. His filmography is littered with classics and award-winning performances. But some of his movies are truly special, and I've been anticipating them more than others. "Philadelphia" is one of those movies.
