Idk, it's one of those movies/franchises that's been referenced a lot in other shows and stuff I figured I got enough to understand what happens. There's a couple others like that where I never bothered to watch them because I think I got the gist of them through references and parodies.
I've never sat down and entirely seen Forrest Gump. I've seen part of it when it's been on TBS but never the whole thing. I get he runs at one point, then he runs again but this time across the country or state or something. Lt. Dan loses his legs. You can prep shrimp in like 30 different ways. Box of chocolates. I think I got it.
