FORREST GUMP

A true American classic, this film has reached cult status since it was first released. Like the others on this list, it is still beloved by today’s generation of moviegoers and subject to their scrutiny as well. Few can fault this film, but for the discerning, one scene where Forrest is finally reunited with Jenny is one they probably wish they could reshoot. You’ll notice that in the background there’s an iron set upright on an ironing board—within the next moment it is shown lying flat. Thankfully, it’s just a minor continuity issue that doesn’t really affect the film’s value to any degree.

In one of the scenes, Lt. Dan and Forrest caught a bunch of junk. Viewers didn’t mind it at all until they noticed a Mello Yello can, which was not on the stores until 1979. Another similar error noted was during the 1972 New Year’s Eve, Forrest was spotted drinking a Dr. Pepper with a logo that has not been designed yet.
