I'm bringing the cheese and highlighting one of my favorite movies (it's on vh1 now)

It's in the short list of movies that make me warm & fuzzy/make the room dusty for me.

Which part with that quality is your favorite? Suggestions:

Bubba dies
Mama dies
Jenny dies
Forrest meets little Forrest (and asks if he's smart)
Sits on bus next to jenny
Sits on bus next to bubba
Jumps in water when mamas sick
Lt Dan tells the girls they're with to never call Forrest stupid
Lt Dan shows up with titanium legs
Forrest gives bubbas mama his share

Which part sticks out to you most? I ask bc lt dan telling the girls to never call him stupid after busting his balls all along jumped out to me for the first time.

I'd say though that him getting bubba and holding him while he dies is the toughest

Bring on the cheese!

One of my favorite scenes outside of those mentioned frequently.

"Magic legs....."

That scene gets my vote.

This one imo. Hanks did a great job of showing joy and sorrow on his face simultaneously.

I vote for the magic legs scene. Best part of the entire movie.

I'll tell you what wasn't inspiring. When that gold digging whore tricks the wealthy, kind hearted, mentally challenged man into marrying her and raising her bastard. Poor guy probably didn't even know that he needed to get a paternity test.

When Lt. Dan says, "Forrest, I never thanked you for saving my life," and hops into the gulf for a swim.

He realizes he has a son and instantly loves him unconditionally and worries the son is mentally handicapped.

This is hard, this movie is my favorite of all time.

"Lt. Dan you got new legs!" is my favorite line of the movie.

Forrest showing up and talking to Jenny's grave gets me every time.

When he steps in the big pile of dog shite while running. Many life lessons taken from that one line...
