Forrest Gump - 1994

Papa Bear says:

This is a must see. I dont care if your 8 years or 58 years old, if you have not already seen Forrest Gump then I suggest you make it next on your list. Tom Hanks is brilliant and the story if one of the best ever written. Forrest Gump will be talked about in 100 years like we talk about the stories of William Shakespeare. Even as a junior high school student I knew when I first seen the film it was a masterpiece.

Forrest, Forrest Gump is a simple man with a low IQ but good intentions. He is running through childhood with his best and only friend Jenny. His 'mama' teaches him the ways of life and leaves him to choose his destiny. Forrest joins the army for service in Vietnam, finding new friends called Dan and Bubba, he wins medals, creates a famous shrimp fishing fleet, inspires people to jog, starts a ping-pong craze, create the smiley, write bumper stickers and songs, donating to people and meeting the president several times. However this is all irrelevant to Forrest who can only think of his childhood sweetheart Jenny. Who has messed up her life. Although in the end all he wants to prove is that anyone can love anyone.
