Forrest Gump

I was watching Forrest Gump today, and I reached a somewhat controversial conclusion - I really like it.  It may have been very successful and won lots of Oscars, including Best Picture, but time has not been kind and it is kind of critically reviled now.  But I find it extremely watchable - though whether it is better than Pulp Fiction or Shawshank Redemption, both of which came out at a similar time, is extremely debatable.  But drop your cynicism and just enjoy it for what it is.  Definitely one of those films that if you're channel hopping and you come across it, as I did, you're happy.
