Trying to decide between Forrest Gump and something shorter. Is the running time part of the appeal here?

Aisling, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

Forrest Gump is one I am weighing up. I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.

Saoirse, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

For anyone considering Forrest Gump: This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.
