This movie is based on a novel written by Winston Groom which some of the storylines are different when you watch the movie itself from the actual book. Some of you might be surprised with some of the scenes in this movie which is far more unrealistic at times.

But all in all, you will love this film because of its optimistic and very heartfelt theme that can touch your heart. Plus, enjoy the comical relief of its characters while they are dealing with their own triumphs in life.

Forrest Gump IS the best.

amylynphoto says:

It's certainly one of the best movies I've ever seen. Whenever I'm asked my favorite movies, although it seems there are too many to name, the first one to pop in my head is almost always Forrest Gump! :)

steelwater says:

i have watched it more than 5 times already and still it is a very inspiring movie, the story proves that simple things in life are not very simple at all.

papawu says:

I can honestly say that it IS only one of a short list of movies which I don't mind watching over and over again.

westgatex1 says:

Who needs History class in high school when you can just watch this movie. "And that's all I have to say about that."

Joan4 says:

One of my top favorites for sure! The movie has everything -- laughter, love, tears, friendship, and provoking thoughts.

dwaynekyle says:

Yes, of course. One of the greats but not the greatest, I think. There's so much more, but Tom Hanks is the best!

splendidbaker says:

This is one of the movies I will watch over and over again. Great acting and great plot!

Irenemaria says:

It made a huge impact on many of us. We are still quoting Forrest Gump when we talk!!

GramaBarb says:

It is a movie that you never forget. It is a movie that you are happy you went to see it and it makes you think about your life.
Good entertainment.

NAIZA says:

a total entertainment! a movie that can make you laugh, make you cry...

Wrong! It's the worst!

Showdown! 

Is it Tom Hanks best portrayal?

Yah, his best performance ever!

lwhitelaw says:

I love Tom Hanks - yes I would say that Forrest Gump is his best film and my favorite Tom Hanks film but he's done many others that were excellent too!

Oosquid says:

I would say yes, it is his best portrayal. Tom Hanks has given lots of great performances but I think Forest sicks in the mind the most.

Not at all..

amylynphoto says:

It's impossible for me to say which is Tom Hanks' best portrayal. He's such an unbelievably great actor. I've enjoyed him in every single character he's portrayed.

papawu says:

I think it is almost impossible to put a BEST label to an actor of Tom's caliber. It was certainly unforgettable, but what about his performances in PHILADELPHIA, or CASTAWAY?

 

Who would win in a fight?
