Forrest Gump' to get Imax theatrical re-release for 20th anniversary

Yes..the movie you love to hate - "Forrest Gump is headed back to the big screen for its 20th anniversary — or, rather, the bigger screen. The weeklong September re-release will screen exclusively in Imax, with digitally remastered images and sound. Moviegoers will have a chance to reevaluate when Gump returns to theaters Sept. 5".

The book is a lot better.

 

I'm there. Not a perfect movie, but one I love. I have it on LD, DVD, BR. I was never a VHS collector.

 

I dunno. Gump is one of those films I think plays just as well on a 32" TV. Even then the historical footage with him inserted looks pretty bad.

 

At least they did not try for 3D, or maybe they did & it sucked.

 

Unless they go back and rework some of the effects with better CGI, then I see no reason to bother with this at all.

 

Man, I hate that movie, my wife will watch it all the time when it's on TV.

 

Gary Sinise's performance is one of the only highlights in the movie for me.

 

I liked Forrest Gump the first time I saw it...when it was called Zelig.

 

It's a "good" movie, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the incredible appeal of this movie is, nor the number of awards it received.

I'm not bothered that it was nominated so much, but surely there were better, more substantive choices that could have won the non speciality categories.

 

I'm guessing it hasn't aged well

 

My wife and I hate the movie. We won't be anywhere near it.

 

Baby Boomer wanking.

 

Hope springs eternal

 

It's a mediocre movie, but it has both a really great soundtrack, and a fantastic film score too.

 

I resisted watching this movie for years. What a fool I was . I really enjoy the movie and watch it a few times a year.

 

Not sure this would benefit from IMAX..

Not an action movie....

 

Isn't it about time for the remake starring Channing Tatum?
