Forrest Gump

There's never a time that I don't get so much enjoyment out of this film. It takes me through so many emotions, anger at certain characters, sympathy for Forrest, pity for Jenny along with crying and laughing at the same moments everytime. It's a film I will never find gets old. The whole cast brilliantly brings the story to life with Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, Robin Wright as Jenny Curran, Gary Sinise as Lt. Dan Taylor, Mykelti Williamson as Bubba and Sally Field as Mrs. Gump. The story itself is one of finding a place in the world and love, Forrest does so much with his life for someone who is seen as Dumb. I enjoy the history elements mixed in with the film and find the CGI to work well. The filmmakers took the book and shaped it into something so much better, there are several changes and it works. Had this been a straight book to film adaption it would have been laughable and unimpressive. Sure it's not the best film ever made but it's my favourite and has held that title for many years and it'll be extremely tough for anything to beat it. I watched the 25th Anniversary remasterd edition (today is it's 25th anniversary!) and it definitely improves the quality quite a bit and was worth getting for £7. 🔙 Blue Velvet 🔜 Toy Story 4 📝 90s Ranked 📝 My Top 10 Favourites
