Forrest Gump (1994)Watch the trailer!

The second film in our "I can't believe you haven't done THAT movie yet!" list also happens to be directed by Robert Zemeckis, although that wasn't planned when the pairing was first decided upon! Winner of SIX Oscars at the 1995 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Effects, Visual Effects, this film tells the story of Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) a boy who's considered "slow" due to his IQ, but grows up to be a man who has incredible experiences that take him all over the United States and into Vietnam. 1994's "Forrest Gump" is a masterpiece of storytelling, showing you the world through the eyes of a simple yet incredibly good man as he deals with love and loss over the course of his life. And, whether it's dealing with his mother (Sally Field), his best friend and true love Jenny (Robin Wright), his army Lieutenant (Gary Sinese), or his best friend in the Army, Bubba (Mykelti Williamson), Forrest only ever sees the good in people. And finally, the trio reveal which listener-suggested pairing will be their very first for 2022!
