This movie was on again last night. I usually watch it when it comes on, not only because it is one of Tom Hanks' best performances of his career, but also because it brings back some memories for me. I had braces identical to the one young Forrest wore on his legs in the movie when I was was a kid. I can watch the movie and laugh about it, but at the same time, I know exactly what a person who had them went through.
What I really wanted to say is that no matter how many times I watch this movie, I always see something each time that I missed before. It is usually something that is hilarious too, so that makes it even better. I have watched this movie several times, and I will likely watch it again the next time it is shown on TV. This is one thing that always makes a movie good to me. I like being able to watch a movie several times and always see something new each time. Books are usually the same way. I usually read a book at least two or three times. You will be surprised how much more you can pick up on the second and even third time you read a book that you missed the first time you read it.

Forrest Gump is such an inspiring movie. I think it shows how someone so innocent but with so much love can achieve so much and it gives hope to others. I think the most moving thing he done was when he set up the shrimping business because that is what his friend had wanted to do with him had he lived and his niaivity (prob spelt wrong sorry) and yet he was just so succesful eh! Puts us all to shame really. I love to rewatch and reread and yes I agree you miss so much the first time. Ellie :D

I don't think there IS another actor that could have played Forrest Gump as well as Hanks did.

This is why it will always be considered a classic. Tom Hanks is the modern Jimmy Stewart. Forrest Gump makes people truly feel. I don't know many characters in movies that accomplish this. A wonderful movie all the way around.

goldeneagle_ Tom Hanks is a superlative actor. I can't think of one movie I didn't like. Wait_ there was one_
I feel bad asking, but am I the only person in the world who hated Forrest Gump? If I heard that quote about the chocolate one more time, the person who told me was about to get a lump!
I watch movies over and over again and see something different too! I thought it was because I had a short attention span, or I was some kind of an idiot, or maybe a memory problem, or maybe_ Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.
Will you still be my friend, even though I didn't like the movie?
