Changed my vote from 9 to 10

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2002)

I originally gave Forrest 9 out of a possible 10. But since then I have seen the whole movie a couple of more times and parts of it on DirecTV many more times. No matter which part it is in, that part can stand so well by itself and still be part of the whole. I have just gotten to like this movie more and more with time. The only other movie that has affected me in this way is "L. A. Confidential". I gave it a 10 to start with so I can't raise my vote on it. In a similar vein, I thought that "The Shawshank Redemption" was one of the best movies I had ever seen. I have also seen it again in whole and in parts. It remains as high as ever, but I got that feeling from the very beginning. With Forrest and LA, they continued to improve in my mind with time. Perhaps, this shows how well done Shawshank was that I got it from the very start.
