Forrest Gump was Jeff's number one on our Top 5 Best Picture Winners list, and a long flight gave him a chance to rewatch it. The soundtrack held up for him, and he still loves the Lieutenant Dan shrimp-boat arc. What didn't hold up as well was the filmmaking itself: even the opening feather shot, which had stuck with him for years mostly out of sentiment, played differently this time, and Tom Hanks's performance struck him as a little cringey before he settled into the character. He landed on a four out of five on this watch and said the movie would probably drop out of his best-picture top five now. His takeaway: time changes how you feel about old favorites, and he's a little nervous about what a Braveheart rewatch might do to that one too.
