The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic. Hanks plays the title character, a shy Southern boy in love with his childhood best friend (Robin Wright) who finds that his ability to run fast takes him places. As an All-Star football player he meets John F. Kennedy; as a soldier in Vietnam he's a war hero; and as a world champion Ping-Pong player he's hailed by Richard Nixon. Becoming a successful shrimp-boat captain, he still yearns for the love of his life, who takes a quite different and much sadder path in life. The visual effects incorporating Hanks into existing newsreel footage is both funny and impressive, but the heart of the film lies in its sweet love story and in the triumphant performance of Hanks as an unassuming soul who savors the most from his life and times. --Robert Lane

 GREAT COLLECTOR'S ITEM January 31, 2010
Anthony Le
Forrest Gump is probably one of my many favorite all time movies. It looks phenomenal in HD and probably one of the best conversion to blu-ray movie i've seen in a while. If the other Sapphire series look this great, i'll definitely pick up Braveheart and Gladiator.
You will not be disappointed with the quality of the movie at all. I have this on VHS, DVD collector's edition, and now Blu-Ray, and i'm very happy about my purchase. A must have for any avid movie collector and just anyone who enjoys watching cinema.
Great movie, terrible gift set January 30, 2010

For those of you who are wondering whether to get the regular blu ray or the chocolate box set, got with the regular. The chocolate box set offers nothing, its cluttered, and has no chocolates! The blu ray from what i understand is also an outdated version so I was disappointed with this version of the product. Get this movie but stay away from the chocolate box set, totally lame and useless.
Classic Movie and in Blu-Ray, even better. January 22, 2010

What can I say about Forest Gump. Probably one of the greatest movies ever made. Thats all. The Blu-Ray looks great too. A must have.
Great experience January 20, 2010

Like most folks here, we love this movie. We've watched it several times on TV, but getting our blu-ray player inspired us to buy a copy. Gee! We had forgotten the scenes snipped out of the TV showings. They were great fun to see again. And like many people who find the sound track a walk down memory lane, hearing it through our Klipsch 5.1 system and seeing it in blu-ray HD was a blast.
Forrest is like a box of chocolate's January 17, 2010
E. Koszyk (South Bend In USA)
Will go down as old classic, with time. The story is special but sound track is what makes the movie. Seeing it and hearing it in Blue Ray makes it worth while, that is making the purchase.
