Directed by Robert Zemeckis, who also has another Tom Hanks gem to his credit, "Cast Away", this movie is one of my all time favorites in any genre. A drama, a comedy, a tear-jerker, it is a movie of many genres rolled up into one. A simple man, an innocent on the loose, an idiot savant in one of the most turbulent eras in our nations history, Forrest Gump never waivers in his moral integrity and manages to touch and influence the lives of many - famous and infamous. He is physically handicapped, but becomes an athlete of renown. He has sub-par intelligence but manages a college degree, becomes a decorated soldier in Vietnam, and makes a fortune in the shrimping business. A friendless child (except for Jenny) he develops deep friendships, including Bubba (Mykelti Williamson) a black soldier who indoctrinates him into the shrimping business; Lieutenant Dan (Gary Sinise in one of his best roles) who Forrest looks up to as a role model even when Dan becomes bitter after losing his legs in combat; and he finally wins the love of the wayward childhood friend, Jenny (Robin Wright Penn, also in one of her best roles). Tom Hanks as Forrest is extraordinary...he has so many fine performances, its hard to say this is his best, but it is my personal favorite. In summary, this film is a masterpiece...watch it once or a hundred times, you will always enjoy it. And remember..."life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get."

The film is wonderful – basically a classic at this point – and I'm sure everyone's aware of it. The anniversary remaster, however, is somewhat inconsistent. I would content that it is certainly better than the old release overall, but the occasional noise-stripping is unfortunate and the green-tint may be better or worse depending on your preferences.
The movie's great, the release is also good, but should have been much better.

Movie quality was very, very excellent. My Order was filled promptly and thoroughly.. Delivery and drop off was executed promptly and thoroughly, also. Forrest Gump is perhaps my favorite movie of all time, at the very least in the top three movies. I am very, very happy with my purchase from Best Buy.

Great movie. Loved how the filmmakers used events from the 60s, 70s & 80s. I enjoyed how Tom Hank’s character was able to overcome all the challenges he faced and recalled stories for his audience from his special point of view.
