Because I'm procrastinating and was just reminded of how quote-worthy Forrest Gump is as a movie, I'm starting this thread. What are your favorite Forrest Gump quotes?

"Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to try out my sea legs."
"But you ain't got no legs, Lieutenant Dan!"
"Yes, yes I know that. You wrote me a letter, you idiot!"

😀
 
Dan: Where are you boys from in the world?
Gump and Bubba: Alabama, sir!
Dan: You twins?
Gump: No, we are not relations, sir.

Dan: So, you boys from Arkansas, huh? Well, I’ve been through there. Little Rock is a fine town
 
While the movie was enjoyable, I dislike the idea of Forrest Gump as a hero. He was quite possibly the most boring, amoral, lifeless character in the history of storytelling.
 
Forrest Gump: I'm sorry I ruined your New Year's Eve party, Lieutenant Dan. She tasted like cigarettes.
 
They say it was a million dollar wound, but I didn't get any of that money!
 
"What's Wrong, Jen-NAYYYYY?"

Or

"I just felt like runnin'."


There is a girl in my class Named Jennie...Everytime I see her I throw my strong country accent on and say her name like Forrest would say it.


One of my all time favorite movies, by the way.

That's just it. The movie was a tragedy. But people view it as a comedy. Hahaha, laugh at the ****. It's dehumanizing. I overanalyze everything though...

I don't view it as a comedy. I view it as a drama. Sure, he's so innocent and endearing, and some things he says are funny in the context in which they are said. But, there were also some heart-breaking parts as well. If anything, I think the movie shows that just because a person has a below-average IQ, it doesn't mean that they're worthless to society and can't feel emotion, and they SHOULD be treated kindly.
 
I don't think many people would consider it a comedy. Many will say it's a great movie...not a funny movie. Does it have funny moments? Absolutely. Does it have sad moments? Absolutely. Does it have interesting moments? Absolutely...

It's a great movie.
 
Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan got me invested in some kind of fruit company. So then I got a call from him, saying we don't have to worry about money no more. And I said, that's good! One less thing.
 
Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?

To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!

God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have an IQ of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump.

Ha, this is one of the best ones.
 
Obligatory shrimp quote..

"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it. "
 
So Bubba was from Bayou La Batre,
Alabama, and his momma cooked shrimp.


And her momma before her cooked
shrimp.


And her momma before her momma cooked
shrimp, too.
 
LT. DAN: What's wrong with your lips?

BUBBA: I was born with big gums, sir.
 
ANCHORMAN: ...has fallen victim to Carmen and
has been left in utter ruin. Speaking
with local officials, this reporter
has learned, in fact, only one
shrimping boat actually survived the
storm.


FORREST: After that, shrimpin' was easy.

:meanie:
 
Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan was always getting these funny feelings about a rock or a trail or the road, so he'd tell us to get down, shut up.

Lieutenant Dan: Get down! Shut up!

Forrest Gump: So we did.
 
Drill Sergeant: Gump! What's your sole purpose in this army?
Forrest: To do whatever you tell me, drill sergeant!
Drill Sergeant: God damn it, Gump! You're a god damn genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamn gifted, Private Gump. Listen up, people...

How about some Inglorious Basterds quotes.


The Jew Hunter: "Do you control the nicknames your enemies bestow on you? Aldo the Apache and the Little Man?"
The Little Man: "What do you mean...The Little Man...?"
The Jew Hunter: "...the Germans' nickname for you."
The Little Man: "The Germans' nickname for me is 'The Little Man?'"
The Little Man: "And as if to make my point, I'm a little surprised how tall you were in real life. You're a little fellow, but not circus midget little as your reputation would suggest."
----
Aldo: "Well, that's fine. I speak the most I-talian, so I'll be your escort. Donny here, well he speaks the 2nd most I-talian. He'll be your cameraman. Omar here, he speaks the 3rd most, so he'll be Donny's assistant.
Omar: "I don't speak any Italian."
Aldo: "Like I said, 3rd most. So just stand there and shut up. Why don't you start practicing now?"

oops my bad. here's another one to make up for it 🙂

Forrest Gump: I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floatin' around accidental-like on a breeze. But I, I think maybe it's both.
 
I was not particularly keen on the film the first time I watched it, the second time I was hooked and from then on kept waiting for the lines and found myself saying them along with the film.

The other film which has captured me is 'Mama Mia'. Made our minds up to go on a Greek Island cruise.

I wouldn't think a Brit would "get it" as well being as though its a film about all things Americana. On the other hand, we Americans have infested the world with our vacuous "culture", so perhaps you DID get it all...

My favorite quote and scene of the movie! 👍

...they show him opening up that letter with the Apple letterhead, priceless.
 
I'm surprised we haven't had any of the obvious quotes yet. You know ,"Life is like a box of...." Stuff like that lol.


I loved when he met his son and Jennie was telling him the dads name was Forrest....

His response, "His daddy's named Forrest, too?"
 
Gump: "SOMETHING BIT MEEEE!!!!"

Basterds:

Hirschberg: "But I don't speak Italian"....Lt. Raine: "Like I said, third best".
