A special film that everybody should see at least once

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2018)

I must have seen 'Forrest Gump' 4 or 5 times now and it seems to get better with every watch. Few people would dispute that this film is a classic, with many memorable individual scenes and lines, but it's more than that for me. This is a film with heart and soul, with meaning and purpose - a film that is just as effective and moving the second or third time you watch it as it is the first. There aren't many films that can achieve that and that's what makes it so special.
Tom Hanks is just perfect as Forrest and his performance is one of, if not my favourite, of all time from an actor. You know an actor has made a character his own when you just can't imagine anybody else in the role - Tom Hanks IS Forrest Gump. His performance, just like the film as a whole, is not to be missed.
There aren't many films that I love enough to watch over and over, but 'Forrest Gump' is one of them. This is a film that everybody should see at least once in their lifetime.
