Rating: Summary: I watched Forest Gump for the 50th Time.... Review: For the 50th time I sat down to watch forest Gump a couple of nights ago and I watched Tom Hanks and I thought to myself how good of an actor can a man be to win two Oscars in a row..... You would have to be awesome to do that and that is exactly what Tom Hanks is... This movie is the only movie I can say that every single person in my family has seen and loved from young to old and I know that all of them own it. And if you don't own this movie I think it is the biggest mistake. Forest Gump is a classic now in my book and it is like Wizard of OZ or where mine sits next to the Godfather collection that I just bought... you know you can't go wrong with Gump, so if you have not bought this movie yet purchase it because it is an essential for all movie Libraries...
Rating: Summary: Funny in many places Review: This movie was moving and funny. I enjoyed the part when Forrest says to President Kennedy, "I gotta pee." It was hilarious. Lt. Dan was hilarious also especially when he puts his ice cream cone in the bed pan. Now that I no longer own this movie (I borrowed it from my uncle and the VCR wore it out so we got him a new one.) I think about the scenes with Jenny as a little girl. Who would know that this girl was to lead a terrible life. I will always remember this movie.
Rating: Summary: My name is Forrest Gump, people call me Forrest Gump!! Review: This movie is the ultimate feel-good movie you can ever watch. It describes how a person with a below average brain who's little dumb does so many wonders and goes through so many phases in life doing a great number of things unintentionally.Tom Hanks has played the character exceptionally well and I bet there was no other actor who could've played his part. He was the best guy they could choose for the role. The special effects in the movie are just breathtaking, beautifully executed! The DVD is nicely produced and one of the vital points of the DVD set is the additonal features DVD. The behind-the-scenes documentaries, special effects documentary and other personal interviews make this whole DVD set an asset to your collection.
Rating: Summary: on of the best Review: Tom Hanks truly earned his oscar. Great story
Rating: Summary: One of the best ever films for aging hippies Review: I lived through all this - the music, the historical events, etc. Forest is like my guardian angel taking me on a tour through my past as viewed from Heaven. One of the best ever movies. It is transcendant, it offers hope, and it shows how big God's heart really is. I've cried my way through it and laughed my way through for years - maybe 6 viewings. One girl friend thought it was "exaggerated". Uh, huh. I don't see her anymore. Know what I mean? Hey, I bought the sound track and listen to it when I exercise. Oh, yeah!
Rating: Summary: The Amazing Impact of one "slow-witted" Man -- A Gem! Review: This is one of the finest films I've seen (Best Picture Oscar Winner, 1995). The story of a mildly retarded boy who from the beginning overcomes all challenges presented to him. The action spans from about 1955 to the 80s. Sally Field plays the loving single mom who fights for and believes in her boy. There are about a dozen major historical events Forrest Gump personally witnesses and influences. From giving a young Elvis Presley hip-girating tips to uncovering the Watergate scandal, Forrest Gump was there! -- The story is far-fetched, but the heartwarming message is unharmed: We are all unique and special, regardless of our intellect or social standing. If we believe in ourselves and have the support of loved ones, we all can make successes of our lives. This film is a big winner in my book!*****
