How did this not get a higher rating than Fight Club?

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2007)

I agree with most of the IMDb's top 250 list, but two things have puzzled me. One of them is the fact that Forrest Gump is currently #81 on the list, and a movie that wasn't bad, but not nearly as good as this called Fight Club, was #31! The other thing was that Forrest Gump was so low on the top 250 list. I think it should be in the top 20, right up there with Goodfellas, but it's not!! Tom Hanks basically had a star turning role in this film. It's one of his best performances to date and he didn't even make the top 20? The movie was a mixture of comedy and drama, something that is so hard to do and seldomly keeps the story in place, but Forrest Gump did. This was brilliantly casted and very well directed.
