If you find yourself staying in today I wanted to let all of you know that Forrest Gump will be on AMC at 4pm today. I bring this up because there aren’t too many movies on my list of “movies I’d watch any single time they’re on TV regardless of commercials,” but Forrest Gump is definitely one of them. Despite the fact that it will take AMC 3 hours to run this movie, it puts a warm feeling in my heart to know that if I’m flipping around the channels that I can come back to the comfort of Forrest and Jenny.
I guess when you get right down to it, Forrest Gump is kind of like a really good steak. If you’re at a restaurant and you look at the menu and know the place has a great steak, is there really anything else on the menu that’s going to be as good? Chances are very likely “no.” Are you going to get steak every single time you go to this restaurant? Probably not simply because eventually you’ll want to try something new and get bored. However, when you’ve laid off that steak for a while, and then order it? You know what you’ve been missing that whole time.
That’s how I feel about Forrest Gump. It’s one of those movies that you just know is going to be great if you haven’t seen it for a while, no matter how many times you’ve seen it. If you don’t have time to see it today? Rest assured you can be entertained by the video above that displays 25 of Forrest’s best quotes.
