I turned on the TV for a while and Forrest Gump was just starting. I have seen it more than once, but that is a movie I never grow tired of watching. All the best traits of men are present in that movie. I just love it.
So I decided to take a break from mylotting while I saw the film. I shed tears in the right places and here I am again.
Just now, Dixie called me to tell me at what time she would come to pick me up to be with them in New Year. She is a brand new grandmother. Andrés´ wife had their baby, a beautiful girl called Mila. Andrés and Ruthie are in Australia so it will take a couple of years before they will meet their new granddaughter face to face.

That is a good movie. I think Hanks was the perfect choice for the lead character.

He played the role perfectly well. He WAS Forrest.

I've seen Forrest Gump twice and I love that movie, also. Have you seen 'Castaway'? This is another good movie, starring Tom Hanks. I'm so glad that Dixie's granddaughter was born, that's wonderful news!

@kobesbuddy Tom Hanks is a very good actor. But this is the movie I like best.

@marguicha This one is quite touching, he gets stranded on an island.

I love Forrest Gump (any Tom Hanks movie) - and we've seen it many times. Out here we have a restaurant chain "Bubba Gump Shrimp Co" and there is Forrest Gump memorabilia all over the restaurant. Congratulations to Dixie and family - a new family member!

He is. But for me, this is one of his best movies along with Philadelphia.

I loved that movie. Probably the Best performance by Tom Hanks other than the excellent job he did with his character in The Green Mile.
