To make it official, Forrest Gump was autistic (same as Rainman) in the book, they just never mentioned it in the movie.

In what movie? He wasn't retarded in Forrest Gump, he was just from Bama.

the ringer was great.. but knoxville was a bit over the top.. i think cuba was pretty good, but di caprio may have been the most believable.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Cartman's performance in the Special Olympics episode.



Brilliant.

My wife is a therapist who has worked with all types of "special people", although no rantards so far (except for me).

In her experience, DiCaprio is the only one who nailed this type of performance. IHO, she couldn't tell that he wasn't handicapped. And at the time of the movie, she didn't know who DiCaprio was...she said that scene where he stayed in the tub all night was just scary, because she knew of a similar incident.

Watch this movie (Gilbert Grape) if you haven't , at least to see the fat mama!

Did you? The original poster gives him a tied vote, and the only other vote or even mention he gets is a second place vote (before my post).

Thanks, for your input on who the best retard is though. Clearly your vote is for Brick Tamland. I think your retard shtick is pretty impressive myself, with the whole inability to count or read thing and all.
