Forrest Gump (1994)

An American drama directed by Robert Zemeckis, starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright and Sally Field.
The life of a man from Alabama is shown: from his first time getting onto a school bus until his son gets onto a bus the first time.
This is one of my favorites. Around 2 hours and 20 minutes duration is filled with plot and characters. The main character, Forrest Gump just happens to be present at every historical event of his time. His friends are great and casting was done well. Robin Wright (Jenny) played Buttercup in The Princess Bride (1987) and Sally Field (Mrs. Gump) played Frog in Smokey and the Bandit (1977). This was based on a novel and the book included the main character as an astronaut, professional wrestler and chess player. This is one of my back-catch-up reviews about a film I've seen lots of times, but not written about. I rate it best. Watch it!
