I'm watching it properly for the first time in what seems a long time. I can see why it's seen as the best film of all time now.

Brooks' character... :(

My favourite film in the whole world EVER!

And it makes me cry still, even though I've seen it over 50 times easily. :bawling:

It's got a great message to it, ah I just love that film. :)

It is brilliant. I love the Stephen King novella too. Simply amazing, like Cherry Coke flavoured nipples that never run dry.

Mmmm

Excellent film with great lead performances from Robbins and Freeman, although I do tend to feel that it's slightly overrated, and far too syrupy and unrealistic at times.

Still though, how on earth did Forrest Gump clean up at the Oscars in a year that produced such great films as Shawshank, Ed Wood, Pulp Fiction and Quiz Show?

Yep, mentally so, but Shawshank is a little too.

Probably my fifth favourite film of that year, right behind Leon, Ed Wood, Pulp Fiction and Quiz Show. Maybe 6th cuz Speed is great fun too.

Yes, Shawshank is fantastic. It doesn't bring a great deal of emotion out of me, but I think it's a very fun film to watch.

Because Forest Gump is Epic in every Single Way Possible
