F. Gump is movie made for a generation to identify with & which you could feel a strong kinship with the characters, especially Forrest. It took us on a journey that was well know to us collectively & infused it with the music that was life along the way. Like Roger Ebert said, it's magical, & also captivating, wonderful, uplifting that depicted how life is. It engaged the heart. The movie was more than just about a movie - it was life unfolding. Delightful
I love seeing P. Fiction & can also it repeatedly. With the first song by Dick Dale I knew we were on a fast & fun ride to the end. With all the fast action & characters interwoven throughout, it required our heads to be engaged.
Shawshank? Yeah, I saw that too. One & done. -

Forrest Gump is too cheesy & dumb in comparison to Pulp & Shawshank. I think both movies are 50x better then Gump. Gump makes me think of Pokemon Go, it's made for the masses. I've watched FG twice, I've seen Pulp and Shawshank at least 50 times each. If the movie doesn't speak to you telling you to come back and watch it again then it's not a good enough movie in my book. But that's me.

50 years later, Forrest Gump will hold up because it's a classic. Score, Soundtrack, absolute cutting edge CGI, great writing and cinematography.
Shawshank was good, but not a classic. It didn't do anything new. The movie takes a ton from Escape from Alacraz. It was an enjoyable film, but not worthy of a best film win.
Pulp was good too. Groundbreaking writing, story telling, editing. Cinematography. Great soundtrack. But its not timeless. It will be remembered as a time capsule of how movies were in the 90s. Most of its techniques are now cliche.
Gump is by far most worthy of best film in 1994. 95 was an even better year for motion pictures. The entire mid 90s really. Now we're lucky to get 1 great film every 5 years.
