Chris's comments: I think this one’s winning so far.
Cathy's comments: Damn. This was really, really good. And Austin Butler did a spectacular job in the title role. Added in 2024 (from memory): Excellent acting, excellent sound/music/singing, and excellent costume design, though Tom Hanks looked weird in a fat suit.
