The Terminal
Viktor Navorski is a man without a country; his plane took off just as a coup d'etat exploded in his homeland, leaving it in shambles, and now he's stranded at Kennedy Airport, where he's holding a passport that nobody recognizes. While quarantined in the transit lounge until authorities can figure out what to do with him, Viktor simply goes on living – and courts romance with a beautiful flight attendant.

That was an excellent one.
Sick Product of a Sick System
Absolutely brilliant
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The whole premesis of the movie is hard to believe. Yes, it may be loosley based on a true story, but from the very begining the film is not logical. They tell Vicktor that his country is having a civil war and his visa is no longer valid. First point:- he is the ONLY one who arrived to the USA from that country??? Second point:- Homeland security knowing that Vicktor does not understand english, just carry on talking to him and make no attempt whatsoever to try and get an interpretor, or even make him understand...what a load of crock. Spielberg and Hanks then make the character of Vicktor as some eastern european Forrest Gump. He talks and acts like there is something wrong with him. As for Catherine Zeta-Jones....a woman that beautiful is going to fall for a guy who is scruffy, and speaks like that???? do me a favour. All totally unbelievable. Not good and not funny. The two stars are for the airport.
Some movies just fascinate us with its cuteness..and here comes "The Terminal". It tells the story of a foreigner who gets stuck in an Airport in the United States and the protagonist's efforts to adapt to this horrible situation forms the rest of the story. Tom Hanks at his very best in this comedy feel-good entertainer. The movie shows us love and innocence could still do wonders in this difficult world. I bet, you will watch this movie again and again.
I watched this again recently with my 16yr old son, who enjoyed it he was laughing and smiling throughout. I explained to him this is based on a trued story of Merhan Nasseri who lived in Frances main airport for 18 years which in itself is remarkable. I've seen a few negative reviews on this movie and personally I don't see why. They made the movie their own and in a comedic style and for me they pulled it off, yes of course you have to suspend belief with the likes of Zeta Jones who looks stunning in this falling for Viktor (Hanks) I mean would Zeta Jones fall for a much older guy in real life.....oh waitHers is a tragic character and I dare say there is some woman who are like that, keep falling for the wrong guy and keep going back for more. The other sad character was played by Diego Luna stalking, yes lets be fair stalking Zoe Saldana and getting Viktor to get info from her then eventually presenting her with a ring. She still had no idea who was interested in her c'mon this is really where you have to suspend belief.Give this movie a go it's up there with "Catch me if you can" another Spielberg/Hanks movie as an easy watch that is quite charming and sweeps you up.
Just One word to describe movie . awesome and Must Watch. Best Movie ever. Tom Hanks acts effortlessly and you are going to fell in love with him. All characters has played their part exceptionally well. Simple yet powerful. Each scene in movie is so loving. So do watch this movie and enjoy.
