The coolest thing about it imo is that it has an original, interesting, and effective structure. Movies like that don't come out every year. Forrest Gump is a very good movie with great general appeal. However, nothing about how it told the story was very interesting.

It's like people think Tarantino invented pulp fiction and the use of a nonlinear narrative to tell a story. I find this both humorous and stupid.
ETA: Nevermind reading Catch-22, how about we stick with the same medium and look back at Jean Luc Godard's films. He famously said: "I agree that a film should have a beginning, a middle and an end but not necessarily in that order." Not only did not invent the narrative type, he didn't even invent its use in filmmaking. Yet people hail him as having done so.
