"Forrest Gump" came out in 1994 and took over the world. Kids were shouting "Run Forrest, run!" and "Seat's taken!" and talking about boxes of chocolate with voice affectations that would surely get them cancelled today! Directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, and Sally Field, the film was almost universally adored, and won all of the awards. It's one of the most beloved films of all time, right? No? People hate it now!?
