Trivia:
Almost all of John Lennon’s dialog is from his song "Imagine" ("No possessions", "No religion too", "It's easy if you try...”). moreGoofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Forest states that "after only 5 years of playing football, I graduated." According to NCAA rules, it is impossible for him to have played 5 years of football. moreQuotes:

Quite simply, the greatest film ever made.
Humour, sadness, action, drama and a Vietnam film all rolled into one.
I'm not a stone cold, heartless villain, but it takes a lot to make me cry when I watch a movie. Bambi's mother, I couldn't care less. Jimmy Stewart in, "Oh, what a wonderful life," - yeah right! The Lion King, when Mufasa bites the big one - on the verge.
But seriously - I bawled my big brown eyes out, on several occasions in this film. A real tear-jerker, and a wonderful character, played to perfection by Tom Hanks. Every bit as worthy for the Oscar as Rooney was to win the Premiership in 2007.
I cannot say it enough: This is THE film of all time. Watch it, and you'll see.
