Forrest (Gump):

Wow, hard to believe this film is 25 years old. It is still just as strange and funny to me now as it was back in '82. Robin Williams is very good as the lead in what surely was one of his first films. John Lthgow is hilarious. I originally watched this film in 1982 with my parents, who had no idea what to expect, which led to a rather Garpian debate after the end of the film.

For it's time, an amazing movie. Surreal moments now remind me of recent Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Hilarious situations you'd never expect.

MattyMatt:

The movie has tons and tons of wonderful quirky gems, but, for pete's sake, did it have to be over 2 hours long? Its length detracts from its focus, making it a meandering and seemingly aimless journey. It's great that they were faithful to the book, but this wa a novel that really wasn't suited to screen adaptation in the first place. All the wonderful performances, fantastic dialogue, and scenic locations can't make up for the sluggish plot.

An incredibly talented cast and crew wasted on a totally boring, pointless piece. After 45 minutes I hit the eject button.
