Steve, me too! Forest Gump - over sentimental shite. But then I also roll my eyes at The English Patient.
Ditto Zack, toThe Blind Side.
In two minds on Forrest Gump. On the one hand, it’s very entertaining, there’s some definite feeling there between him and Jenny. I wound up disliking her because she really should have went with him, and she made some really stupid mistakes. Not a very likable character at all.
But towards the end I felt the movie became almost a parody of itself. You name it, Gorrest was there when it happened. And recently, I’ve run into people saying it was offensive because of the way it portrayed developmentally disabled adults. Meaning, Look at all the crazy scenarios this unknowing slow adult stumbled into.

I always assumed that Forrest Jr wasn't really Forrest's son and that Jenny just lied to him because she knew A) Forrest would be a wonderful father B) Forrest is likely too dumb to question it.

That's ridiculous. I've always taken it as "anyone can do amazing things, no matter what deficiencies they have."

She probably did just that because she was just so unlikable.
Oh I’ve seen Her! Thanks for PYW, I so will! I love this type of movies.
Yeah, good movie. I also like Equilibrium and Time. And Edge of Tomorrow (Not Oblivion!). Neither compare to Never Let Me Go tho. I read the book, rewatched. Heavy stuff
