One of my favorites student's family rented their beach house to Hanks during filming. She was a kid then and asked for an autograph. Tom said he would leave one "in the house." She searched for months before she finally got down on the floor and saw he had signed the underside of the kitchen table with a big, fat sharpie! 😂😂😂
Tom Hanks was on Graham Norton and explained that originally, Forrest was not going to talk that way. The actor they chose as young Forrest Gump talked that way. They really liked him and wanted to hire him. Rather than making a child change his manner of speaking, Tom Hanks changed HIS speech to match. Ironically, the actor changed his speech as he got older and didn't speak that way as an adult.
If Tom Hanks wasn't in the movie, I don't think the movie would've been sooo great. I can't see no one playing Forest like he did. Tom Hanks is my favorite male actor. he is truly an artist
Another person would have did just fine People think this was because no one else has played the part and put a better picture in your head What you say can never be disproved because no one will ever have a chance to try the part out
This movie was such a huge part of my childhood. It was such a bonding experience for me and my grandparents. After we would watch this, they would recall so many of their own memories from the 50s, 60, and 70’s. I’m so thankful for those stories, no matter how tragic some were. This movie connected generations
I worked on Forrest Gump, and man was it good to see the sets I spent so many hours in and those crew faces after all these years. This video brings back so many memories of me as I was in my late 20s. Great video!
That one and Shawshank Redemption. I think I’ve watched it at least a hundred times . Even went to Zihuatanejo looking for them . Great resort town just in case I didn’t find Red or Andy .
@@bradwilliams1691 The reason I asked is because it's my opinion that we tend to prefer the first medium and consider the second one worse. But of course, the book may indeed be just plain bad.
Great documentary. This movie covers so many aspects of life, love, hate, trust, desperation, disappointment, happiness, loss - it's all there. Believable and touching. A masterpiece.
For me, this is my No1 film of all time. It ticks every box for comedy, tragedy, adventure, romance and the harrowing events of war. The incredible Director merged with equally incredible actors and pulled off the best film ever. It will go down in the decades to come as one of the best acted and directed films of all time and It is a film that I can watch ten times over and never tire
You really don't think about all that goes into making a movie, especially one of this magnitude, until you watch something like this. It's a brilliant masterpiece. The ups and downs, love, hate, loss, grief, inspiration, friendship....it's all there and I can watch it over and over again.
I Have No Words of how Much I Love This Film! My Dad's a Vietnam Vet and He Truly Enjoyed It !! 🇺🇸 Amazingly I live in South Carolina as doe's My Father , and Had No idea They filmed some of This Here!! Thank You For This Peak into One of the Best Film's Ever !! God Bless All The Veteran's Who Fought And Gave Their Life's, And Those who Came Home, We Love You!🙏⚔️🇺🇸💜
I love seeing the behind-the-scenes filming. Great movie. Great actors. My favorite seen is when Forrest is talking to Jenny about going home and turns toward her boyfriend and yells, "You should go home to GreenBOW ALABAMA!!!"
What a career Hanks has had. He really owned the 90s and has made some incredible films. I remember as little kid watching Busom Buddies sitcom. He really blew up after that.
What's funny is I liked Peter Scolari more than Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies. But boy it didn't take me long after that to realize how amazing Hanks is. I still love Peter Scolari.
Walking to work one day in D.C. and here’s all these weird buses and hippies! They were filming the reflecting pool scene where he sees Jenny. Bizzaro. Looked real.
Being an INDIAN I can say this is the Best Movie I have ever seen in my Life. It has everything, Emotions Exactly We INDIAN feels. That's why this Movie became Globally Famous.👏TOM HANKS 🥳
Holy Moley, this could have been a 4-hour documentary on the filming of the movie and I would have watched every minute. Absolutely fascinating. And yikes what a hard job to be a film actor! Stage is hard too, but this is a whole other thing. Loved this video.
One of the GREATEST Movies EVER made....PERIOD!! Ever so often, i go back & either look up my fave clips /scenes or watch the whole thing. It'll always be inspirational & motivating...IMO
I was born and raised in Savannah, Georgia, so I'm very familiar with the whole area. I was in downtown Savannah working during the filming, so I was fortunate enough to watch them film this movie and many others filmed downtown. It's cool to watch.
I loved watching this. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve seen this movie and I still enjoy it every time. This has added something extra for me that I’ll think of when I next see the movie.
None of them had any idea when they were filming this how big this film was going to end up being ... So glad they had a behind the scenes camera capturing some of this.
This is so awesome! You know you’ve got fantastic actors when it’s a shock to see them go in and out of character during this process! Such an incredible movie with the best actors!!
Zee heeppopotamoose, he is not born saying, "Cool beans. I am a heeppo." No way, Joesay. So he try to paint zee stripe on him to be like zee zebra, but he fool no one. Then he try to put zee spot on zee skin to be like the leopard, but everyboody know he is a heeppo. So, at certain point, he look himself in zee mirror and he just say, "Hey. I am a heeppopotamoose and zere is nothing I can do about it." As soon as he accepts zis, he live life happy. Happy as a heeppo. You understand zis
I was born in 77' . When I was old enough to actually sit down and watch and understand movies it was awesome! I married my wife just out of high school 1996 .Just had 26yr anniversary last month. Forest Gump came out about the time we started dating and alot of times go to the movies and they were mostly great. Now we have thousands of movies at the touch of a button or two but most are crap. I think the last fairly good movie we watched was Only the Brave 5yrs ago.
Jo Jo rabbit is a great recent one (directed by Taika Waititi). Hard to categorise but like this movie it hits many emotions and the story is well done.
I've taken movies of family and Scouts using a digital camera then spent hours with Premiere Pro editing sound and video into a story maybe 10 minutes long and IT WAS TOUGH. What we just saw was the very difficult but visible part of movie making. What we didn't see was all the work the movie editor has to do after shooting stops to take tens of hundreds if not thousands of scenes and put them all together to make something people will enjoy watching. In my opinion, the editor and his staff never get the recognition they deserve for the FINAL making of a movie. Acting and directing, etc. are necessary, of course for a great movie, but it's the never-ever-seen Editor who has the final say, so to speak, in whether the movie truly is a masterpiece. My 'hats off' to all of you motion picture editors.
Forrest Gump is one of those movies that only come once in a lifetime. And there's so much story to it. there's so much in the movie that makes it such a great movie. it is worth watching every 2hrs and 22minutes of it
Nah… we were still just as confused and fixated on superficial things as we are now. But I’m with you those things have made stuff much more complicated.
Almost everything Tom Hanks touches turns to gold. This is definitely one of those movies when you see it playing while channel surfing you stop and watch at least one segment.
@@aceace605 Thats hilarious cause its my go-to hotel movie. I travel for work quite often and no matter where i stay, I can always find Forrest Gump on a channel lol!
Although they moved away after the Civil War, south, to Savannah, Georgia, my family was originally from Beaufort, South Carolina, after immigrating from Ireland in the 1750s. I had ancestors from Beaufort who fought in both the Revolutionary and the Civil war. It just blows my mind, that the best movie from 1994 was headquartered in my ancestors old hometown. And what a coincidence that the infamous bus stop scene should be shot in Savannah, where my family moved to, from Beaufort. Wow. I lived most of my life in Jacksonville, Florida, where my family ended up moving to from Savannah, but I do remember visiting Savannah in 2000. And it was the beautiful and quaint historic section, where this scene was shot.
And to think, the first person that was offered the roll of Forrest Gump was Bill Murray. Thank god he turned it down. I cannot even almost picture Bill Murray as Forrest Gump. The next person offered the role was John Travolta. And, again, thank god he turned it down. Tom Hanks is so perfect for the role that no one else could have done it.
One of the most remarkable movies ever made. I've worked on staff at several movies and just to see all the people, behind the scenes, brings back memories. It wasn't all rainbows and butterflies, though....mostly a lot of hurry up and wait and untold amounts of tedium. It's almost unbelievable how many pieces come together to make even a passable movie. I remember one of the Producer's staff running around with pockets of cabbage and giving it out to whoever needed to be paid...1099's, W-2's? No way....all cash and carry and everyone loved it!
You know you’re getting old when you watched this film for the first time and saw the actors as old enough to be your parents, but when watching them now you feel that you could be _their_ parent.
I’ve seen this film a 100 times or more and the one thing I can say is it always puts a smile on my face so sometimes when I feel a bit down this is the move I put on love this movie from start to finish
Tom Hanks is just one of those gorgeous beautiful public/role-model type souls and I’m so glad he’s still so active. So many of his projects are amazing. Guy is modest he is humble, he is basically a comedy and dramatic genius. And manages to age gracefully and behave gracefully too. I’m so sad that we lost Bernie Mac about 14 years ago because he because he was one of those people too.
The movie and making are so different. Such talent from everyone, I mean everyone. Director to the camera people to the actors/actresses, the set people. Such perfection. I don’t go goo goo over actors/actresses, they have a job and do it great. And it showes.
To this day, Forrest Gump is still one of my all time favorite movies.
never thought that Forrest Gump would become my favorite movie too
same
É o meu favorito também.
@@bitterbold 💯💯if it comes on I’m watching it!!! Don’t care that I’ve seen it fifty eleven times!!!
agreed
So happy that a sequel wasn't made, Forrest Gump stands on its own merit.
Yet
@@OLIVERWASMYNAMEFIRST right.... I came to say they're probably gonna remake it before we know it.
@@blvckphillip3917 why would they remake it
@@NolanHOfficial I have no idea why they do remakes and reboots...
@@blvckphillip3917 the movie quality is too good for a remake
Forrest Gump will always be a masterpiece of movie history
A masterpiece of Tom hanks life.
Yes!!!
As is Saving Private Ryan

She searched for months before she finally got down on the floor and saw he had signed the underside of the kitchen table with a big, fat sharpie! 😂😂😂
So weird hearing Hanks’ normal voice dressed as Forrest Gump. Favorite actor of all time.
Yeah thought that too 😅
Tom Hanks was on Graham Norton and explained that originally, Forrest was not going to talk that way. The actor they chose as young Forrest Gump talked that way. They really liked him and wanted to hire him. Rather than making a child change his manner of speaking, Tom Hanks changed HIS speech to match. Ironically, the actor changed his speech as he got older and didn't speak that way as an adult.
Almost puppet-like
And we in Germany are even more surprised about the voice 😂
Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise are both such good actors. They turn into their movie characters in whatever movie they are in.
"You died on a Saturday morning." Saddest movie line l ever heard.
Tuesday hit just as hard
If Tom Hanks wasn't in the movie, I don't think the movie would've been sooo great. I can't see no one playing Forest like he did. Tom Hanks is my favorite male actor. he is truly an artist
Same for me,he is awesome
He great but has a big mouth
Another person would have did just fine
People think this was because no one else has played the part and put a better picture in your head
What you say can never be disproved because no one will ever have a chance to try the part out
This was the year Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption were all up for the Oscar...what an amazing year for movies!
What a year.
The 90s was an amazing decade for movies.
Come to think of it, this movie just turned 29 today!! Happy Birthday to this movie! July 6th, 1994!!
I REALIZED HOW TALENTED AN ACTOR TOM IS...FAB
One of the best films ever made
You bet
honestly
Imagine if the Alabama State Po-lice mistook Forest Gump for a raccoon before chasing him out his house with a broom-handle?
So fun to see Forrest Gump doing a perfect Tom Hanks impression.
Agreed
This movie was such a huge part of my childhood. It was such a bonding experience for me and my grandparents. After we would watch this, they would recall so many of their own memories from the 50s, 60, and 70’s. I’m so thankful for those stories, no matter how tragic some were.

Must of been so fascinating.
@@Dan-qt7kq At the time it was a job....we had no idea what it was to become!
Wow, What a movie, How lucky were you, A great story for the grandchildren
I happened to drive by the Gump house location(an hour from home) the other day and made a short drone video of the nearby wetlands.
Thanks for contributing to a classic that helped shape my childhood.
A film I can watch over and over again and never get tired of it. A masterpiece
Mee Too amongst my to 3 movies of all time
That one and Shawshank Redemption. I think I’ve watched it at least a hundred times .
Even went to Zihuatanejo looking for them . Great resort town just in case I didn’t find Red or Andy .
@tmalone2530 from 1994 I've watched it at least 4 times a year July 16 2024 and I'm still loving it
Forrest Gump is MASTERFUL story telling. This is one of those rare movies that has a genius screenplay, talented cast, and great directing
Also one of those rare movies that is actually better - way better - than the book, which in my opinion is the biggest load of shit ever written.
@@bradwilliams1691 What did you do first? Read the book or watch the film?

A masterpiece.
I love Tom Hanks , This was a great movie and love story
You guys all wear ass hats
That's why it took all these Oscars away from Pulp Fiction - another masterpiece.
Indeed! A masterpiece thru and thru that's worthy of lasting many, many generations.
and sadly he was simping a wrong woman.
Beautiful movie! The only movie or time in life I’ve seen my husband shed a tear when Sally passed.
One of my favorite movies ever. Tom Hanks' talent is incredible. Surely one of the best actors in the cinema history.
Gary Sinise is amazing in this, such a great actor along side Tom Hanks also with Apollo 13
Love Gary Sinise. Sgt Dan made was a great character
In Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks saved Gary Sinise‘s life. In Apollo 13, Gary Sinise saved Tom Hanks’ life.
its so weird hearing Bubba speak in his regular voice 😂 I love this movie so much! I might have to watch it again!!
Man, look how young Tom Hanks is!! This movie is one of my top 5 favorite movies. Although it makes me cry every time.
Why in the world does Forrest Gump male you cry everytime you watch it?
@@AutoYoung Any time some asks a ‘why’ question, they are just looking to shoot down the other person’s answer. Good bye.
@@myozbubble
Not true. It's to gather insights and possibly find similarities between two people. Why does everyone always think so damn negatively?
@Forrest Gump
Of course but I'm asking what specifically. What is wrong with you people? No one can ask questions anymore?
@@myozbubble fantastic answer
The greatest movie of all time. Thank you Gary sinise for everything you've don't for are soldiers and there families
Gary Sinise is a wonderful and talented performer and actor!
Gary, one of a kind person. Us veterans just love him!!!
For me, this is my No1 film of all time. It ticks every box for comedy, tragedy, adventure, romance and the harrowing events of war.
The incredible Director merged with equally incredible actors and pulled off the best film ever.
It will go down in the decades to come as one of the best acted and directed films of all time and It is a film that I can watch ten times over and never tire
Romance? Jenny was a piece of .....
Couldn't have said it any better!!
Don't forget one of the most epic music scores!
Amen brother
Totally agree .stone cold classic
You really don't think about all that goes into making a movie, especially one of this magnitude, until you watch something like this. It's a brilliant masterpiece. The ups and downs, love, hate, loss, grief, inspiration, friendship....it's all there and I can watch it over and over again.
Me too I could watch it on repeat and never get tired... Everytime m left with soaked eyes on many scenes of the movie
I live
For me, Tom Hanks is the greatest actor ever and this movie is a masterclass that people will be enjoying 50 years from now.
Almost 30 years old already.
Amazing how many years have passed since this movie was made. Damn I feel old.
Yea whellp, life is like a box of choclate....
even after 30 years later
You still never know what you're gonna get.
Do you what Tom Hanks did in actual life?
@@barbaralangdon4984 Go ahead and provide some proof?
I grew up watching this I’m 24 years old now and my life has turned to a movie
Forrest Gump always reminds me of home and childhood summer nights.
Tom Hanks actually did the whole song with the choir!
Brilliant stuff.

You know what I like about this making-of ? You see they have a lot of work but they are all so quite, calm and respectful. It's pleasant to see
I love it when a movie hits every note. A Masterpiece of performances, bar none.
Tom Hanks is the best actor around. Whatever character he plays he IS that character. So believable.
yeah he's such a great actor he makes ppl think he's wonderful, when in reality he is incredibly evil. And I ain't religious
@@cheery-hex Can you back up your accusations with facts? And I was talking about his acting ability, not his character.

Love that movie. Very talented actors, film crew and overall, an unforgettable movie. My husband was a Vietnam vet. This movie is timeless.
Forrest Gump was my favorite movie in the ‘90s.
Definitely among the all time top classics in film history.
I can't believe it's been 20 YEARS?!?! 😲
1994: Forrest Gump, The Shawshank Redemption, and Pulp Fiction. Those three films in one year is crazy.
I love seeing the behind-the-scenes filming. Great movie. Great actors. My favorite seen is when Forrest is talking to Jenny about going home and turns toward her boyfriend and yells, "You should go home to GreenBOW ALABAMA!!!"
What a career Hanks has had. He really owned the 90s and has made some incredible films. I remember as little kid watching Busom Buddies sitcom. He really blew up after that.
Owned the 80s too! As a kid, saw him in splash and never looked back! John Candy and Eugene Levy are amazing in that movie as well 👍

This is my favorite movie as it brings back so many memories of when I was growing up. Laughed and cried. Tom Hanks is a great actor 👍
You could put Tom Hanks in any movie & he will be the best actor on set!!
It warms the soul to see two individuals from different races Bubba and Forest find a simple friendship that is on a mammoth scale.
Different races? And here we were thinking they were just two Americans.
it was a movie kiddo.
Being shot at together tends to make folks bond pretty tightly.
@@Millennialmonitor Of course. Two Americans. But, different races are still a real thing, though. To acknowledge the reality is ok.
This movie and Green Mile are two of my favorite movies. Tom Hanks does great in both films. But he's good in anything he does.
Hearing Tom Hanks' real voice dressed as Forrest is uncanny.
what a good film
Like hearing Dustin Hoffman speak normal dressed like Rainman (Raymond)
You know you’re getting old when you watched this film for the first time and saw the actors as old enough to be your parents, but when watching them now you feel that you could be _their_ parent.
It's crazy!
👍🏼😁
Not any more is Tom Hanks older enough to be your parent.
This movie raised me and I am just now discovering that there is a behind the scenes documentary about it. Wow.
It feels like it was just a little while ago that I saw this movie in the theater...can't believe it's been close to 30 YEARS!!!
Oh wow, that is shocking, 30 years.
What a great example of a director's vision coming to life on screen
Bob Z is without a doubt one of my favorite directors.

Its no wonder then, that Tom is related to Fred “Mr.” Rogers.😌✨
what a great behind the scenes :) thanks for sharing it.
Tom is one of the best actors ever! And he seem to be a genuine nice guy. Love this movie
I lived in Yemassee, SC for 4 years. Love that area
I've see this movie 102 times. t is fascinating to see him go in and out of character so quickly when the director yells cut
Yes a truly lovely actor and human being .
103 times for me..gotcha beat lol
Literally watching a legend in the making seeing them in the process of doing this film not knowing how huge and popular it would become
When Forrest jumps off the Boat, it is the funniest part of the film. In my humble opinion
Great !
"That's my boat!" 😂😂😂
ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE.
Gump is in my top ten of all time . It is truly a Masterpiece of the “art of film making “.
what a good film
This had everything in it Action, comedy, Drama, and a amazing story line acted beautifully. This is the best movie ever made
Also Gary is OUTSTANDING 👏
Love that people save these important moments in life! Thank you guys very much!
The movie and making are so different. Such talent from everyone, I mean everyone. Director to the camera people to the actors/actresses, the set people. Such perfection. I don’t go goo goo over actors/actresses, they have a job and do it great. And it showes.
