Forrest Gump (1994)

Forrest is an idiot that touches the hearts of almost everyone he comes into contact with. The character has an impossible innocence that I don’t think anyone but Tom Hanks could have imbued it with; the purity of it eats me up inside. That’s a very special kind of gift that I gladly accept.
It’s one of a small number of films that I've found to be a lot more entertaining than the book it’s based on.
