2. FORREST GUMP
"my names Forrest, Forrest Gump" Truly one of the greatest movies all the time.Forrest Gump is a man who is not completely "there". He narrates his life from childhood through the most present. The movie is about a man's true innocence through life due to being born not as smart as others. I love the way the movie follows different periods of world history, the 60's, 70's, and 80's. It shows real issues such as racism and the effects of war. Through out Forrest's life he meets Jenni when he first starts school and is in love with her. Jenny is also completely lost in life due to events caused by her father and getting caught up in drugs. No matter Jenny's faults, Forrest will always love her. Another thing that I love about this movie is how that tied Forrest into major world events such as: teaching Elvis to dance, giving John Lennon the words and inspiration to the song "Imagine", being the cause to finding the Watergate scandal, being the American that tied China and the US together through ping-pong, inventing the phrase "shit happens", and being the man behind the famous smiley shirts. This is another long movie and again one you can watch every time it comes on TBS without getting tired of it. Its heartbreaking watching the movie depict assassinations of people during this time period and watching his mom die of cancer and Jenny die of HIV. There is humor and action in this movie as well. This movie has it all again including one of the most awesome soundtracks of all time! "and thats all I have to say about that"
