Product Description:
A sweet natured man with an IQ of 70 personally experiences all of the important events of three decades of American life.
Amazon.com:
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

- Forrest Gump
This is by far my favorite movie. Tom Hanks does agreat job, I loved the plot, it's a just great movie altogether. If you haven't seen it then I won't spoil it for you, but I assure you that you will love this movie. If you have a brain you'll buy it.
Rating: - GUMP!
RUN FORREST! RUN!
The first time my son watched this film he thought it was about a real dude!
Very good movie and Tom Hanks' performance is first rate!
Rating:
- Great film but not a great Blu-ray
As clearly stated by many this is far from the best blu-ray transfer. The video quality is clearly sub par for a blu-ray. Furthermore, the product now ships without the slipcover, revealing the cheap Paramount casing and taking away from the overall aesthetics. It is a pity a great film like this went through such a mediocre transfer.

Rating: - A film that has actually earn't it's hype and reputation
This is an amazing film and because of the brilliant story and acting you heart warms to Tom Hank's character Forrest Gump, You want him defy the odds, which he does. This gives everyone insperation to get over anything.
But as i said it's a brilliant story and you will be addicted to it from the begging. Don't get me wrong this is not a girlie film, this film is for everyone.
For once this is a film that has actually earn't it's hype and reputation, another must have DVD it's up there ... Read More
