The Best Picture winner for 1988 is next up in the series as Tom, in typically flashy, cocky fashion is humbled on a cross country journey with his newly discovered brother; one of the most notable performances of Dustin Hoffman's career as the autistic savant Raymond Babbitt, which won him his second Best Actor Oscar!
