Forrest Gump (1994)

This is the movie annoying people became obsessed with because of the famous lines that came from this movie. It stars Tom Hanks (Philadelphia) as Forrest Gump, a guy that is just really stupid, but he has a heart of gold. Forrest goes through tons of experiences in his life from playing college football, to opening the door for a African American girl when they segregated schools, to fighting in Vietnam, to running a shrimping boat with Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise), and finally getting to marry the one girl who had escaped him for years, the world famous Jenny (Robin Wright Penn). It's a very touching movie and the story is told by Forrest as he is waiting for a bus to go see Jenny. He tells the story of his Momma (Sally Field), Bubba (Mykelti Williamson), and everyone else in between to some strangers on a bench. The funny thing about this movie is that Forrest some how is involved or near every major event that happens in US history and while on his long run is responsible for the world famous Smiley face, the shit happens slogan, and may other things. The nice part is that the movie teaches you to be yourself and not to care what other people say about you. The movie also stars Margo Moorer (ATL) as Forrest's mother's housekeeper, Peter Dobson (Poolhall Junkies) as Elvis, and Haley Joel Osment (Artificial Intelligence: A.I.) as Forrest Gump Jr. Hey, even the man's man Kurt Russell (Escape From New York) gets to play Elvis's voice in this one and according to this Forrest taught Elvis all his moves. I give this movie an A+ because it is an all time classic film and reassures Tom Hank's status as Hollywood gold
