Tom Hanks is awesome (I mean he did win an Oscar in the end) in the title role of a simple man with an IQ of 75 and a heart of gold. Its his story and his journey through life at a young age until around his mid-life.
It is such a quotable movie with great lines and great actors that also include Sally Field as his mother, Robin Wright as his best friend Jenny Curran and Gary Sinise as Lt. Dan Taylor his superior in the army. Also has an awesome soundtrack that keeps cranking out the hits through-out Forrest's life. Forrest meets some pretty famous people ranging from Elvis Presley to John Lennon to JFK.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Eric Roth and based on a novel by Winston Groom. Zemeckis does an amazing task of blending the comedy with drama and never loses a step along the way. I have actually never met anyone that doesn't speak highly of this movie. It was one of those movies that everyone loved in the end. If you have never seen this one I would suggest turning it on some afternoon or night and you should be quite pleased. Film also won Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writer, Best Film Editing and Best Visual Effects (which is pretty cool when you see what happens to Lt. Dan).
