I have to say that Forrest Gump never fails to make me well up. People mock it for being ridiculous or unrealistic, and it may very well be, but the needless torment Forrest receives coupled with his amazingly unpretentious insight into the ludicrousness of life is profound. The scene at the end when he meets "little Forrest" really underscores this and, I think, ensures that the film is much more than just a fantastical tale.
