Most people disagree with you.
Forrest Gump is a modern day classic. Tom Hanks gave a brilliant preformance that will go down in history. I have always believed that people hate Forrest Gump because when it comes down to it, he's smarter than us all. While we're all doing drugs, getting AIDS, being racists, etc...he's just running, winning wars, and making millions.
No one has ever complained about my other favorite movies. To Kill a Mockingbird? It's a Wonderful Life? Imitation of Life? Lets see someone pan those classics
