It requires pitting very different films against each other \u2014 comedies against dramas, period pieces against fantasy films \u2014 in ways that don\u2019t always seem fair.<\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-wbgwfj\">Here\u2019s your chance to do things a different way. Why compare Meryl Streep to Denzel Washington when you can compare Meryl Streep to Meryl Streep? Why make one list, when you can make many?<\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-wbgwfj\">Here\u2019s how it works: For any category \u2014 horror movies, Meryl Streep films, etc. \u2014 we\u2019ll provide you with a pair of movies. All you have to do is pick which one you think is better, after which we\u2019ll show you two more. Once you make 10 choices, we\u2019ll reveal the current results, based on the votes of all Times readers. We\u2019ll update these lists every 15 minutes, so feel free to come back. And play as long as you like \u2014 every vote matters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"g-text  svelte-wbgwfj\">Pick a category to begin, or just scroll down to get started with the movies of Tom Hanks.<\/p>\n<p>Tom HanksR-rated ComedyHorrorHigh SchoolDenzel Washington SuperheroMeryl StreepFantasyAction FranchiseTear-jerkerRom-ComAnimated<\/p>\n<p>Which Tom Hanks movie is<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tbetter?<\/p>\n<p class=\"status svelte-1adjixh\">After you vote 10 times, we&#8217;ll reveal the current ranked list from all Times<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\treaders.<\/p>\n<p>    The 100 Best Movies of the 21st Century  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Making a list of the Top 10 movies of the 21st century is hard, for those who work&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":22112,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[10903,171,53,67,132,68,10901],"class_list":{"0":"post-22111","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-100bestmovies","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us","14":"tag-vis-design"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22111"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22111\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22112"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
