Forrest Gump is the best movie ever.

[Hearse Lightning]

It has everything.
You want comedy? It has it.
You want action? It has it.
You want romance? It has it.
You want feels? It has them.
You want some history? It has it.
Great acting? It has it.
Nice soundtrack? It has it.
Suspense? It has it.
You want shrimp kabobs? It has it.
You want shrimp salad? It has it.
You want shrimp soup? It has it.

I loved this movie when I was a kid even when I didn't understand parts of it. It never gets old. My favorite movie and the best movie imo. Yet when someone asks my favorite movie and I tell them 9/10 they give a surprised chuckle.



And that's all I got to say about that.

 

[minute bull]

I wish the guys who do all those spoof movies, like Starving Games, would make a super offensive Forrest Gump spoof where he is actually retarded and just gets his platoon killed, shits all over the Oval Office, and gives tons of retarded girls AIDS.

The Charlie Sheen biopic is due out next year.

Only on Lifetime.

 

[Oenomaus]

It's kinda like... a box of chocolates

 

[ehtheist]

Not even the best movie out that year... Though, it is a damned good movie.

 

[Zer]

Does it have a double amputee falling out of a wheelchair though?

 

[BOWHUNTER]

Pulp Fiction crushes it

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

No it's not, it's No Retreat No Surrender.

 

[JohnSAFTAHess]

LOL not even in top 5 Tom Hanks films

It's a cinematic classic if you think movies like Braveheart are masterpieces.

Nice. Spot on.

I honestly can't stand Forrest Gump.

 

[Oenomaus]

Does it have a double amputee falling out of a wheelchair though?

I think so, I mean if you're into that sort of thing

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

I'll quote my Irish cousin.
"That film was rubbish."

I realized after discussing it with him that it wasn't as good as I'd thought.

 

[korean blood]

Damn good movie

 

[Deleted member 457759]

Excellent thread. Forrest Gump is the best ever.

 

[HARRISON_3]

I disliked that movie, tbh.

Nowhere near Otm Shank's best work.

 

[Bee Smart]

You certainly captured the crux of that character succinctly. Well done!

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Does it have a double amputee falling out of a wheelchair though?

and one with magic space shuttle legs.

 

[RoninJin]

And then something jump up and bit me

 

[StephanieB]

Anybody ever look at like he wasn't stupid? That he was just as decent of a human being as you could possibly be and no one else was even near his level when it came to that?

I thought that Mayberry had already established Robocop as the best movie of all time.

But I never considered the shrimp angle. Would someone make a new thread with a poll?

 

[LEWIS540]

Agent Cody Banks > Forrest Gump

It is close, though.

 

[Luke Rockhard]

Top 5 Tom Hanks movies (in no particular order of greatness) that are better than FG:

Big
Cast Away
Saving Private Ryan
Charlie Wilson's War
Captain Phillips

honorable mention:
Toy Story(s)
The Burbs
Polar Express
Apollo 13
Philadelphia

Forrest Gump is a great movie, but IMO, not even top ten greatest Tom Hanks movies.

He got an IQ test which said he was. Sally Field had to whore herself out to keep him from the "Special" school.

What about Mazes and Monsters?

 

[InvertedCross]

I've never seen Forrest Gump

 

[fightingrabbit]

One of the lamest movies I have ever seen that's for sure

 

[Prime Ang]

Good movie, not my fav, but I could see why it was on the top of someones list.

You absolutely have to be joking.

You might have gotten away with just having questionable taste, but you included Polar Express, which was absolute garbage.

 

[HenryFlower]

[CO68]

It doesn't even make my top 1400

Name 1,400 better movies. There might be 200-300 better, but 1,400?

 

[HARRISON_3]

Does it have a double amputee falling out of a wheelchair though?

At least it's got premature ejaculation, I guess.

 

[CO68]

How old are you? No offense but the only thing that can compete with Forest Gump on that list (As far as cinamatic quality goes) is American Beauty.

American Beauty might be the worst movie on that list.

 

[TrippleOG]

I would tear up Sally Field, even now

no Bachelor Party???

 

[Fatt Hughes]

yeah but it doesn't have Gump exchanging haymakers with a monkey.

 

[Steve-French]

American Beauty might be the worst movie on that list.

Maybe in your opinion, but it's the most critically acclaimed movie on that list and probably has the highest ratings on sites like IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes.

 

[Vitor CroCop]

Nawe. The Godfather. But yeah Gump is GOAT family feel good movie.

 

[HOLA]

It was hilarious. I love it.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I tend to agree. Excellent film with an excellent cast. Full of memorable lines, some top notch SFX (for the time), and an excellent soundtrack. One of my favorite films, maybe of all.

 

[KillerElite]

28 going on 29.

 

[Bee Smart]

It was good but Forest Gump doesn't even make my top 50. The promiscuous (Robin Wright) woman gets punished blah blah blah . . .

 

[Clear Winner]

Haven't seen it in ages. Might have to watch it again. It was pretty great.
