Detailed item info
Movie description
The title character leads viewers through an accidental travelogue of American social history from the early 1960s through the present in this revisionist fable. Vietnam, desegregation, Watergate, and more are presented from the perspective of Tom Hanks's loveably slow-witted Forrest Gump as he finds himself embroiled in situations he can't quite comprehend. Hanks leads an excellent cast, featuring Robin Wright Penn as Jenny, Forrest's lifelong love; Gary Sinise as the irascible Lt. Dan, his Vietnam superior; Mykelti Williamson as Bubba, a shrimp-loving soldier; and Sally Fields as his devoted mother. Robert Zemeckis's emotional, heartwarming film garnered 13 Academy Award nominations and six wins, including Best Picture, Director, Actor--Tom Hanks, and Adapted Screenplay.

Notes
Theatrical release: July 6, 1994.

FORREST GUMP made more than $325 million at the domestic box office and more than $675 million worldwide.

The famous, oft-quoted line said by Forrest Gump in the film: "Life is like a box of chocolates," is a total reworking of the original line in the novel which reads: "Let me say this: bein' an idiot is no box of chocolates."

"To make Sinise appear to be a double amputee, the filmmakers relied on a combination of computer artistry, a trick wheelchair that hid Sinise's legs from the knees down and a limber actor... Sinise did suffer a minor leg injury while making 'Gump,' ironically during a scene in which Forrest (Tom Hanks) carries him out of the Vietnam jungle. 'My inner thigh kept bouncing on his shoulder. It was like taking a jackhammer to it,' says Sinise. 'I developed a huge contusion and couldn't bend my leg to get into the wheelchair.'" -- USA TODAY, July 7, 1994

Editorial reviews
"FORREST GUMP is a movie heartbreaker of oddball wit and startling grace..."
Rolling Stone - p.98-9 - Peter Travers (07/14/1994)

"...A strong sense of narrative coherence....Even more impressive is the use of special effects..."
Sight and Sound - p.41-2 - Leslie Felperin (10/01/1994)

"...An accomplished feat of cyber-cinema....Hanks's Forrest has an unerring sincerity and charm..."
New York Times - p.C9 - Janet Maslin (07/06/1994)

"...There is magic in FORREST GUMP..."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (07/06/1994)

"...A story rich in big laughs and quiet truths..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (07/06/1994)

I am working on listing approx. 100 Movies from my personal collection and about 25 from my good friend Penny Banner's (www.bannerdays.com) collection.  All of Penny's look to be in very good condition. Some of the boxes are slightly dented or worn, but the video tapes themselves look great.  All of mine are like new, some watched once, many never watched!  For the most part, I just "collected"  movies I'd seen and loved!  I will fill in the condition box above for Penny's based on how they look.  Mine will all be "like new".  I will note anything unusual in the descriptions.

Please Read (or at least skim over!) before bidding, asking questions, leaving feedback!

*  MY GOAL - Is to earn your 100% Satisfaction and 5 STAR RATING across the board, no exceptions!  Please be sure to tell me if I made ANY mistake and allow me to correct it before leaving neutral or negative feedback or less than 5 Stars in any category.  Thanks!!  Happy Bidding!!  ;-)  Lory

* THIS IS ONE of endless items!  New, Barely Used, Used.  I save EVERYthing, often buy things & receive gifts that I don't use, or find "treasures" to sell!!  I specialize in nothing!!  This means I don't know stuff about stuff!  I don't know what many things are, who made them, what they're made of, how old they are, etc.  So if you do, you might discover a diamond that I thought was zirconia, an original that I thought was a copy... you know what I mean, especially when it comes to antiques!  Check back often!

* I Have Excellent Feedback & work hard to earn it!!  I try to get decent photos & will describe everything as accurately as possible.  You're welcome & encouraged to ask questions if I miss something you'd like to know!  Ask BEFORE bidding, not after!

* ALL SALES ARE FINAL UNLESS - I accidentally describe or ship the wrong item.  Ask questions before bidding!  Clothes & Shoes may not be returned due to not fitting!

* PACKING - I RECYCLE!  I use anything I can get for packing.  Old boxes, new boxes, no boxes, shoe boxes!  Bubble wrap, shredded paper, I reuse all materials!  Please give me 5 Stars for shipping, not for it being pretty, but for your item arriving safely and me "going green"!  (Thanks!)  (PS!! If it needs to be pretty, tell me in advance!!)

* SHIPPING - Some items come with Free Shipping, all others I try to estimate the packed weights accurately so I don't lose money on shipping.  Rarely I may ship with a different service than specified.  I ship every week (except the wk from X-Mas to New Year, & the 1st 2 Wks of May), so you should receive your item within approx. 1 to 2 wks after you've paid.  Please give me 5 stars on shipping since I can't help that the rates keep going up, I've clearly stated my handling time for your consideration before bidding, and I can't control how long the shipping service takes to get your item to you. (Thanks!)  (PS!!  If it gets close to 2 wks, feel free to ask me to check on it for you!)

* INSURANCE - Usually required, sometimes included in rates, sometimes optional. Buyer is responsible for lost or damaged items if not insured.  I pack just fine but tossing, dropping, crushing, & loss, does go on!  No negative feedback for me if you didn't get insurance & your item is lost or damaged in transit, it happens!!

* INTERNATIONAL - 1 item can often go 1st Class, (usually less than priority), multiple items are usually over 1st Class weight limit (4lbs) & have to go Priority. Ask for quote!

* PAYMENT - Please just click the "Pay Now" button when you get the "You've Won" email, it'll give you an invoice.  Please Pay or Communicate about your payment right away, such as if you're bidding on other items that haven't ended yet to have them shipped together to save on shipping.

* FEEDBACK - Please Leave Feedback as soon as you get your item so I know you did!  Due to the uncaring unfairness of a few, I'm now waiting to give positive feedback till after the transaction is complete and I know I've made you happy.   Please base my feedback only on my performance, not the performance of eBay, Pay Pal, or the shipping service.

*  MY GOAL - Is to earn your 100% Satisfaction and 5 STARS across the board, no exceptions!  Please be fair... tell me if I made ANY mistake and allow me to correct it before leaving neutral or negative feedback or less than 5 Stars in any category.  I absolutely care enough to earn ALL Positive Feedbacks and 5 Stars in ALL categories!  :-)

* I Think I've Covered Most Everything - I'm sure I'll make changes as I continue adding items & receive your questions & suggestions!  Happy Bidding!   :-D

My goal is your 100% satisfaction!   This is not a big business... it's a "one woman show", so please consider sales final unless I accidentally describe or ship you the wrong item.

In the same fairness, if I made no mistake, but you did (forgot to ask something or just changed your mind), I'll refund (upon return of item) cost of item only, as in that case it's ME who shouldn't be out any money paying for your shipping either direction (including what it cost me if you got free shipping), Fair enough?!  Please ask questions BEFORE bidding, Thanks!!

You, the buyer, are responsible for lost or damaged items if you chose not to purchase insurance, as there's no possible way for me to have any control of any shipper's service after I've given it to them.
