Oh man, it's probably one of my 10 favorite movies I've ever seen. It's a great movie to watch if you've had a bad day or find yourself feeling a little bogged down by the world. I like it a lot. ;D

Yeah i'm not really a big Hanks fan either. I just really like the movie's message more than anything. Not to mention, Lt. Dan is one of the GREATEST characters I've ever seen!
But yeah, if you haven't seen it since it first came out, that's a long time ago. I think it originally screened back in '94 or so.

^^^You hated the rest of the movie? Wtf Forrest Gump = Antichrist of mainstream blockbuster major-studio big-budget filmmaking. Except for Ginny/Jenny's storyline. Most of it.

Oh you've got to be kidding me. If I start, I may never finish. We're talking a whole reverse snowball effect here. It may take forever and no matter what everyone thinks, I do have (some form of) a life. Let's just say, I could write a book on how awful that film is.
I need some time to prepare (but not much).

I count is as a "couples" movie to watch. Lt.Dan was pretty cool.
"She tasted like cigarettes." "Lt.Dan, Ice Cream!" "Oww!Something bit me!"
Haven't seen in years but so easy to get great quotes from. Question : Why did Jenny shag Forrest only to run off the next day? never understood that.

I think she was "saying goodbye" in her own way.

I still say - the filmmakers and the studio executives and the Oscar committee and the actors...are all going to hell for making it.

i say they remake the blob.............again!! You really seem to like that original PLOT LINE, don't you...? the blob looked great in the 80's..imagine what they could do to it now!! You're talking about the actual substance itself? The pinkish / purplish flubbery, transparent goo bubble? Yeah I guess that could be pretty scary if you think about it... i wouldnt expect it to be as good as the 80's version but shit you can never get enough blob The 80's version leaves a lot of room for improvement. The characters were not that great and the plot was heavily marred by the ripping off of C.H.U.D. and Piranha, among other films. So a remake of that... They'd have to learn to come up with something original. I'm not necessarily impressed with it being evil scientists flown in from somewhere the characters would never have known about - etc. But, if I had to choose something that hasn't been remade yet, or for which there are no plans for... I would love to see them try to combine Demons (1985), John Carpenter's The Thing, and Stephen King's / Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, somehow. Teens get free passes to a movie that takes place in the winter, so as they go to the movie, outside the theater, it starts snowing (in June or August or September or May - one of those months), and the movie breaks or stops before it's finished and they get fed up and leave the theater and see that the world outside is the movie they watched. And they don't know what's going to happen to them because they didn't get to finish the movie. So then they have a choice to stay inside and hope what happened in the movie stays outside. Or take their chances trying to survive what happens outside. That idea was fucking brilliant and nobody said anything about it. Typical of this board. I had another idea. They already remade Prom Night. And I think... they changed the original storyline a lot. (At least, I hope they did - I'm not in the mood to re-watch the original, then the new one, which everyone already agrees sucked) I want to see a remake of Hell Night, mixed with The Initiation, April Fools Day, and Sorority House Massacre. I and II. Here's how it would go... Like Hell Night, people are on a college initation to spend the night in some kind of haunted place. A mansion would be pretty good. Gotta have more than 4 people in the place. At least 7. And there all in costumes, so like Halloween and that " can I get your ghost, Bob?" scene - you can't tell who's in what costume when you see the costume show up. Then you got the people outside the place playing pranks on them. And they've got costumes on. So if one of them murders someone because they're insane or whatever... you can't tell who it is. I thought if you mix that in with Sorority House Massacre II's plot of the girl being mad at her best friend because of some kind of drama, you'd have a reason someone would want to play a prank on someone else. Just expand on that. So, we need a murderer. The original Hell Night had a mutant deformed guy. That's no good. Too The Hills Have Eyes. In Sorority House Massacre II (one of my favorite horror movies of all time), one of the "victims" was the killer. But you didn't know who. The costumes will further disguise that person's identity. Then, if we mix in Mario Bava's Bay of Blood, we have multiple people running around killing each other. I like that a lot. I was thinking about that myself with this. Mix in the tension of the creepy abandoned mansion place (hopefully with a hedge maze, like in Hell Night, where you can't see who is ahead of you or behind you) with the challenge of mean sorority / fraternity pledge masters to see " if you can survive the night," no one likes anyone, the people running the sorority/fraternity are outside playing pranks on them, they are traps inside the house... All this making people edgy, there's tension between the people inside for whatever various reasons... It's like the police would have to sort what happens here out the next day, there are endless possibilities for death scenes, motives, etc. I just had this idea yesterday... Not sure what to make of it.
