I checked on what they were showing on TV and found Forrest Gump just starting.
Now there are several movies that make me cry the first time I watch them. But not many are the kind that move me even after I have watched them several times. Forrest Gump is one of them and now I can´t think of any other else. Maybe Casablanca.
Checking online after the end, I read that the film had won 6 academy awards and was selected by the Library of Congress for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Awesome! But there are some films that have won prizes and have not said much to me. This one is absolutely moving. If you haven´t seen it, or if you have not seen it in a long time, it is the moment to do so.

@marguicha No it hasn't. I re-watch it every once in a while and I still enjoy the movie.

@1hopefulman It is because so many human values are so well portrayed there, I guess.

Have you heard about the terrible rumor that this movie is going to have a remake starring Justin Bieber?

@CaptAlbertWhisker Despair!!! I don´t care how well Bieber sings. He still deserves some spankings.

@marguicha is that happiness or despair?

@buenavida A film with so many Oscars will certainly be somewhere.

I love Forrest Gump. I have seen it many times and yes, it makes me cry each time I see it. Another movie that makes me cry each time I see it is Titanic.

I've always enjoyed Forrest Gump.
Doesn't make me cry though.

I probably did not cry when I went to the cinema to watch it. I cry more at moving things when I´m alone at home.

I now cry at moving movies. I´m not sure I cried when I saw it the first time.

In fact when I watched it, I was a college student. I found it boring. Then few years later I watched it again and I got something from it. Then later I felt touched when I watched it again. So it is a movie that has some deep meanings and you will understand it when you are mature.

Probably. The first time I watched it, I was a grown up, so I did not miss anything.

Tom Hanks was brilliant in this movie. Another Tom Hanks movie I can watch over and over is The Green Mile. That's a moving story but in a different way.
