Changing my vote to Forrest Gump, but do not think he has made a bad movie.

Apollo 13
As a former engineer, I loved the part where engineers became heroes by finding a way to put a square peg into a round hole using nothing but a couple of armloads of junk.

I thought an engineer is an engineer is an engineer. What happened?

Every time this movie and "Sleepless in Seattle" previews come across the screen husband and I have to watch. He loves Meg Ryan, "she's so cute." He also likes the movies with heavier subject matter like "Saving Private Ryan," but I can't bear to watch that again, twice was enough.
