Amazon.com essential video
The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane

I don't want to slam this movie, but I just don't understand why so many people like goofy, cute stories like Forrest Gump. It was so far-fetched for me that I never watched it again. It was not quite as bad as The Terminal.
Like the reviewer below me said, this movie beat out The Shawshank Redemption at the Oscars. Unbelievable.
 genuinely wonderful! October 9, 2008

For $7, you will never get a more classic movie! Tom Hanks performance as Forrest Gump is a tough character to beat with his great acting! You will fall in love with his life story and his love for jen-nay! Everyone in your family will enjoy this movie!
Sappy, unbelievable melodrama October 1, 2008

I can't believe that this movie won over The Shawshank Redemption at the Oscars for Best Picture.
This movie is nothing but a box of chocolates loaded with lots of sugar which is bad for you.
For your own good, stay away from this one.
