This is an incredible matchup. Arguably the two best films during the 90's... both won plenty of Oscar awards including Best Picture and Best Actor. This is a tough choice, but Forrest Gump is my favorite movie of all-time so...

I guess Forrest wins, because of the story itself, character development and connection with world history.

I despised "American Beauty" for its self-important pretentiousness. To be fair, I haven't seen either film since their theatrical run. How I'd vote if I re-watched them, I can't say, but I'm going with "Forrest Gump."

It's taken me over 6000 rankings, but I'm finally starting to get some real matchups! I love the style of American Beauty and I'm a big fan of Mendes and Ball (Six Feet Under!), but Gump is something I can watch any day, any time and love it. I'm glad Robert Zemeckis gave us this before he decided that motion capture was the way of the future.

i prefer American Beauty... Forrest Gump is too "sweet" for me.

Forrest Gump. It is pretty good entertainment value and features everything you want.

Agh... so tough. I watch American Beauty more frequently, but Forrest is easier to digest. Still... American Beauty wins!
Forrest. And I love American Beauty. But Forrest is just such great escapism...

American Beauty. Gump was meh. Kevin Spacey is way better than Tom Hanks.

These are my top 2 best of all time, it's so hard to choose between them but Forrest Gump for me is a movie that will always reign supreme.
Pretty close, but I'm gonna go with American Beauty.

I actually did it. American Beauty knocked off Forrest Gump to become my new #1.

AB is the best movie for me

easy win for the man who taught Elvis how to dance GUMP all the way.

American Beauty, easily.

Beauty all the way.

American Beauty - Best of the best

Forrest Gump is too much a gimmick to win here. American Beauty is a powerful comic drama.

American Beauty is one good masterpiece
