I’ve never noticed one without some anal blowhard pointing it out.

The iron is clearly a symbol of Forrest and Jenny's relationship.

Lol nah. Like Forrest Gump has anything of value to offer.

The only one I remember noticing on my own is in the Jeremy Irons version of Lolita. He shoots Frank Capra. Blood all over. Different angle. Now little to no blood. Then a third angle, a long stream of blood down Capra's shirt and face. It's even super obvious and right in center frame.

It's a classic but I don't understand why. It's the kind of movie where, if you say you don't like it, people look at you with eyes that could kill.

I rank Forrest Gump up there with The Wizard of Oz and Close Encounters.

All three are hammy as hell, but they never fail to deliver a fun time if viewed every couple of years.

I watched the Wizard of Oz an handful years ago, then tried to rewatch it recently. The first time, I remember quite enjoying it, but last time, I couldn't understand how I was ever able to stand it in the first place. Next time, I'll just watch Judy Garland sing Somewhere Over The Rainbow and leave it at that.

There are a few hammy movies I enjoy every time. *cough* The Golden Child *cough*.

The Eddie Murphy movie? I haven't seen that since it was fairly new. I don't remember very well.

Yes, that infamous Eddie Murphy action/fantasy film. It's dumb as hell, but also creative and a lot of fun. Wouldn't call it great, but there's an oddball quality to it that makes it quite unique.

I think it's a pretty great showing of just how it is to be scared ****less of being in a war, though it clearly does have its corny war movie issues. War movies that don't have issues with corniness are rare if not nonexistent obviously.
