Gump is just good people, you know? Great, great movie. Little long, but well worth the watch. As for quotability, shoot, even my pops can quotes some lines. He loved ‘ol Bubba and his shrimp dialogue. I can still see him sticking out his bottom lip…shrimp kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. My favorite part of the movie is when little Forrest teaches Elvis how to properly do a pelvic thrust dance. Good stuff.
