Forrest Gump (1994)
The best flick of 1994 is easily Pulp Fiction, in my opinion. But I haven't forgotten this triumphant Best Picture Winner, one of my all-time favourite heartwarmers. Forrest Gump is the story of a simpleton with an I.Q of 75. But that doesn't stop him from being a war hero, a talented ping pong player, champion football player and owner of a shrimping business. But he would give it all up for Jenny, his one true love.
Tom Hanks performance in this film isn't monumental or showstopping, but he's really sweet and likeable as Forrest Gump. I still think that it is between Hanks and two others who deliver the most superior performances of 1994.
I also really love the quotable dialogue in this film. There are too many to quote, but my absolute favourite would have to be Gump's answer to the question "What is his sole purpose in the army?".
"To do whatever you tell me to do, Drill Sergeant!".
There are too many reasons I love Forrest Gump, but I mainly love it because it's good natured entertainment.
