#11. Forrest Gump
In 1994, Tom Hanks gave one of the finest performances of his career in the Robert Zemeckis-directed film Forrest Gump. With the perfect blend of palpable humor and emotional depth, the film managed to resonate deeply both with moviegoers and with critics, and it performed exceptionally well at the box office. However, there are several aspects of the film that remain unknown even to the keenest Forrest Gump fans.
Forrest first meets Bubba on the bus before the pair embark on their stint in the military. Bubba says to Gump, “My given name is Benjamin Buford Blue. But people call me Bubba, just like one of them old redneck boys. Can you believe that?” Forrest then introduces himself. “My name is Forrest Gump. People call me Forrest Gump.” The iconic line was not in the script, but Zemeckis liked it so much he kept it.
