Perhaps there’s nobody who enjoys a Tom Hanks movie less than the man himself. During a sit-down with Viola Davis for Variety’s “Actor on Actor” series, America's Dad and optimistic political seer revealed he can hardly stand to catch his old films whenever they pop up on TV.

“The bad thing about doing things on film is they live forever,” Hanks said, comparing it to the ephemeral nature of theater. “If you’re going through the grid seven years after you’ve made the movie and boom!—there it is on HBO or Showtime, and you end up catching seven or eight minutes—that’s all I can stand of any one of my movies.” He continued, explaining why they bother him so much. “I just pray that I have no memory of doing it, because if I do have a memory, it’s a painful one: Here’s a moment that I didn’t land it, here’s a moment that I never thought was great.”

Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner, has starred in numerous classic films, among them Forrest Gump and Big. But he’s also starred in some pretty grueling projects, both physically and emotionally—films that we imagine might stir up some tough memories. For starters, there’s the deserted-island flick Cast Away, the Oscar-winning AIDS drama Philadelphia, the World War II epic Saving Private Ryan, and the absolutely harrowing Sleepless in Seattle. Really, the list goes on. That Hanks has had an illustrious career, and while his past work may strike fear into his own soul, it’s ultimately brought joy to millions of viewers.

Take heart, though, in knowing that there is one sacred film of his that Hanks actually enjoys watching: the 1996 musical comedy That Thing You Do!, which he wrote, directed, and starred in. In a 2013 interview, Hanks said it was the one movie of his that he still watches with “great affection.”

“I loved doing it so much that when I watch it now it still brings a smile to my face,” he says. Congratulations, That Thing You Do!: you are the Chosen One.
