Forrest Gump

girish · 5th July 2008, 21:36

I think it's the best movie I've ever watched. Tom hanks is so cool in that movie.

1871_Biscuit · 5th July 2008, 21:39

I disagree.

RedDevil#26655 · 5th July 2008, 21:41

Not the best film for me...but certanly a very very good one.

"Run Forest, run"

Alex · 5th July 2008, 21:42

Hanks' best performance imo, the story is great through as it is written through a time of great change in American life. I love how Forrest always seemed to make the right moral decision and it also came out good for him.

When Lt. Dan(Gary Sinise was also excellent) gets his artificial legs and has a fiance towards the end, at Forrest's wedding, talk about a heart in mouth moment. Even more when you realize that he'd be dead if not for Forrest(several times over that is)

RedDevil#26655 · 5th July 2008, 21:45

"Lt. Daaaaan, I brought you some ice cream"

Bloody love that line

KeyserSoze · 5th July 2008, 21:52

Good film. Great performance by Hanks.

RedDevil#26655 · 5th July 2008, 21:55

I love you Jennay

"I gottttaaaa find Bubbaaaaaaaaa!"

RedDevil#26655 · 5th July 2008, 21:57

On a side note, anyone seen the Bubagump shrimp restutrant/shop in NYC? I went into the shop part but didnt go to the resturant bit...far too expensive for shrimp.

It had the suit Hanks wore in there too

EspadaYdaga · 5th July 2008, 22:04

great movie

There are several in the US, their cocunut shrimp is money as is most of their food

Run Robben Run

"Life is like a box of chocolate"

Some good lines. An epic story.

An excellent film.

girish · 6th July 2008, 12:19

It was full of surprises as well. I was like 'WTF???' with that Elvis Presley part....

awesome movie.

you need to watch more films

Spoonatov · 6th July 2008, 13:17

I hated it. Sentimental bollocks.

crappycraperson · 6th July 2008, 13:17

Overrated by many people and at the same time unjustly bashed by too many as well.

Wibble · 6th July 2008, 13:42

I really enjoyed it for what it was. Entertainingly sentimental bollocks.

Look for anything deeper and you are stretching.

Johnno · 6th July 2008, 13:52

Am I right in saying Jenny died from AIDS?
I first saw the film in 1994/95 in a hotel room in Hawaii on my way home from Sydney to Manchester at the age of fourteen and told my dad as the story was around 1982 and she had a 'mystery illness', it was AIDS and he was gobsmacked I made that assumption at my age but that's all I can think the suggestion was.

Ceks · 6th July 2008, 14:10

Classic.

brophs · 6th July 2008, 14:10

The soundtrack was quality, the film was not.

AIDS wasn't stated as the illness but it is a safe assumption.

Jenny dies in March 82

Ace · 6th July 2008, 20:01

1994 was a great year for film. Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, & Forrest Gump.

vanthaman · 6th July 2008, 20:07

it has a great soundtrack too i have the 2 disc album

Epic · 6th July 2008, 20:59

Just watching it now. Very refreshing compared to the rubbish coming out these days.

R.Nilsson7 · 6th July 2008, 21:02

Great movie.

olesmyhero · 6th July 2008, 23:02

If I remember correctly his name was Forrest Gump and people called him Forrest Gump.

MUFCgal · 7th July 2008, 10:20

Great movie. Tom Hanks is superb in it, just a fantastic and refreshing film to watch. I also think that Gary Sinse is great as Lt. Dan

Gary Sinise was very good. Hid entering at the end, at the time of gum's wedding was a great scene. Also the scene with hookers..

Red_Aaron · 7th July 2008, 11:16

hanks was brilliant and makes the film. Given some of the story lines it could've been a disaster imo but he got the character spot on

sometimes there just aren't enough rocks

Unjust maybe, but it won the Oscar ahead of Pulp Fiction, and that was a pure travesty.
