This movie by Tom Hanks is my most favorite. I have seen it a dozen of times and I always cry especially at the part where Forrest meet his son with Jenny for the first time! Has any of you seen the movie? Did you like it?

I do like this film, but I feel that it goes a little too far at times. I remember the part where he started to run across the USA and ran from cost to coast, which is certainly too far fetched for me. As I said I like the film and the overall content is excellent, although I would have been much happier if the producers had tried to avoid too much exaggeration.

The whole film is a metaphore, so that you don`t have to take everything with a reality criteria. The most important thing about the film is what lies underneath.

For me, that's one of the coolest and weirdest part of the movie though I really enjoyed it . Thanks for sharing your insight Asylum!

I love this movie and have watched it almost a dozen times since it was released. wach time I watch it I see something that I had missed or now see with fresh eyes. My post today was taken from Forrest Gump. My Mama says, stupid is and stupid does! I found it all very touching too. I wish there were some more Forrest Gumps in the world as he could teach us a thing or two about true love.

Forrest Gump is one of the best movies I think that I watched... No wonder because the director is one of the best..Robert Zemeckis...He directed Back to the Future, Contact (with Jodi Forster), What Lies Beneath, Cast Away (with Tom Hanks again) and just recently Flight with Denzel Washington... Forrest Gump has a deep characterization which is why Tom Hanks portrayed it flawlessly and won an Academy Award... There's so much to mention in the film, for example regarding the feather from the start of the movie and at the ending... It can mean so many things to so many different people...

I saw the movie several times since I'm a fan of Tom Hanks. I like the part when he entered the army then met Bubba Blue and Lt. Dan Taylor until the success of Bubba Shrimp business.We'll learn many things from this movie that we can use in life. However, i like The Terminal more than Forrest Gump and I don't know why. Lol

True, we will learn a lot from this movie. Despite the fact that Forrest Gump is what they say, below average. Good to know that a lot has the same insight about this movie and that you liked it too. Thanks and happy myLotting!

hello, This is my favourite movie too and I liked tom hanks in this movie the most. He is the best actor hollywood has to offer. He is so god in this movie that i cant explain. This movie is a masterpiece and all the characters are so real and believable. This is one of the best movie of hollywood and its in collection of the best movies. It has won few Oscars and it should have won more. You can learn a lot of things from this movie and it has a very deep and meaningful ending. I like this movie a lot.

I love this movie. I think that it is one of the best movies about love of all times. We have classics about romantic love (such as Casablanca, to name one). But this is a film that shows so many different kinds of love that it is moving beyond words.

Who would've not love Forrest Gump? in fact Tom Hanks was awarded on several nominations for that movie. It was indeed an unforgettable movie. I saw that film and i was blown away with the story line! It was quite impressive of Tom Hank's role in the film. It was funny yet so, true and yet so honest.
