Forest Gump- great film or overrated.

To me it’s a fantastic film that challenges racism, class, domestic abuse, child abuse, and all sorts of other things with an underlying thread of love and treat others how you would like to be treated yourself.

What other films do you know that divide opinion.

Truly, this film represents the cinematic art form at its zenith.

The fact that Jim Dale did not receive an Oscar nomination for his nuanced performance as a struggling owner of an oversized hound is frankly beyond me…

It's because he ate the dog food. People didn't like that bit.

It’s an ok film, but it shouldn’t have beaten Shawshank at that years Oscars, now that’s a seriously good movie.

Such devoted method acting probably disgusted the Oscar board to; I heard even Brando refused the role based on that scene

When I was at college, many moons ago, there was a girl they used to call ‘Digby’.

I always thought Sistet Act 2: Back In The Habit was hard hitting and underrated for its gritty portrayal of love in 1st world war Nazi Australia

I get the backlash…. It’s not the same worst film I have ever seen….

Saying that, the best film Oscar that year should have gone to pulp fiction hands down!!!!

Absolutely; the scene featuring George Clooney as the blind kangeroo rancher was particularly superb.

Quentin Tarantino’s superb sequel, BBQ At Hanging Rock was fantastic to.

The scene wherein the four girls find David Icke at the summit and hand him his lightsaber was absolutely sublime…

Full of sentimental American rubbish from start to finish. ‘Life is like a box of chocolates’ …no it isn’t

Not for me and Shawshank ending ruined the film.

And as he lit it up and the purple glow illuminated all around him we knew the universe was in good hands.

I really enjoyed it, but don't think it's that brilliant or anything. Does it really divide opinion though?

Blair Witch i DID think was brilliant(despite the hype, which can undermine something for me), and some people seem to really hate it.

Ooh. The Matrix. Was alright, but not as clever as it thinks it is.

I know. Shoot me now..

In regards to films that divide opinion, Quentin Tarantino's entire body of work post-pulp fiction.

Forest gump was all over the place, touching lightly on a number of topics without exploring any of them in detail. It’s like something a kid would write

Just watched the Kill Bills for the first time. What was the hype, they were all over the shop in style, content and theme. Perfectly acceptable brain off pulp (no pun intended) fun but in no way worthy of praise or remembering for longer than it takes to rewind the VHS…

Away with the faeries

Forrest Gump is one of the best, for me. A 'friend' recently told me they thought it was overrated. Or maybe it was the random woman in co-op. I can't recall, blocked from my mind!

But The Godfather films.. I don't know if this divides opinion or if mine is just unpopular but I didn't see the appeal there.

Somewhere In The Ether…

Lars Von Trier’s, The Idiots.

A hugely controversial film that sharply divides opinion based upon the subject matter which, dependant on how one views the film, is either a) grossly insensitive and offensive - or b) serves as an indictment of the way disability is viewed in society.

As a rule, I find Von Trier’s output to be pretentious at best but I actually did enjoy this one.

I think that's the appeal, it's told from his perspective so you get the more sinister undertones, but he doesn't.

I'm not sure anyone but Hanks could've done as good a job either. I read a thing the other day about how universally liked he is that said if you heard a story about him punching a nun, you'd immediately think 'jeez, what was wrong with that nun?' he's just such a likeable man.

I just felt that it was desperately trying to please everyone so ended up a confused muddle. Like that billy joel song that just lists a load of historical events

For what it’s worth, a local farm near where I live set up a toastie and coffee shop at the start of the summer, and during the first week, Tom Hanks visited.

A toastie with Tom Hanks is a true life goal
