"Forrest Gump" is a great movie, although some people say it is "the greatest ever made" and Tom Hanks' performance is "the best ever", quite the contrary, though (actually, not THE contrary).

Forrest Gump is a quite remarkable film, but unfortunately, its cheesier than an extra-cheese pizza, and I found that Hanks' performance was a bit overboard, and the film is a bit silly.

"The Shawshank Redemption", and "Pulp Fiction" were far better films, that lost to Forrest Gump. I found that that was quite bad. Sure, Forrest Gump is good, and fun, but it is nothing compared to Shawshank and Fiction. And Morgan Freeman, John Travolta, Nigel Hawthorne and others who gave remarkable performaces, but lost to Hanks' overblown one.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents, Forrest Gump's good, but has a lot of errors, while Shawshank and Fiction were better, and didn't have many errors.
