    Big, beyond a doubt; Hanks was superb!
    Many years earlier, several of the Sci Fi movies which scared the daylights out of me: "The Thing", "Invaders from Mars", "IT came from Outer Space".

    The Thing was in a spacecraft which landed in the Arctic near a U.S. military base. They brought it inside, and while discussing it's make-up, one of it's hands and forearm began to rise up and down! To say it was frightening, would be putting it mildly. They determined it was made up of vegetable matter. After it thawed and began moving about, a guy stationed to guard it, emptied his .45 Automatic into it, without effect. My Dad had a Colt .45, and it was incomprehensible seeing the thing absorb those bullets, at age 9, I was. The following year I fired his .45, one shot allowed, at my Grandparents' farm.

    The Thing was played by James Arness, incidentally, who was then yet unknown to the public. He was very tall.
