​2. ‘Splash’ (1984)

Howard’s first big hit is also the movie that made Tom Hanks a star. It’s a thoroughly sweet romantic comedy, with Hanks at his most Everyman-charming and Daryl Hannah at her most adorable and winning as the mermaid he falls for. (This was also one of the movies that proved that Disney could make movies for adults too.)
