Very good matchup here. Two very excellent movies. I think Forrest Gump gets criticized too harshly because it racked up at the Oscars including winning Best Picture over Pulp Fiction and Shawshank Redemption. Lots of Pulp and Shawshank diehards just can't let it go, so they vehemently bash Forrest Gump. If you objectively critique it with no regard for personal feelings of the Oscars and the snub you think your favorite movie got, you have to admit that Forrest Gump is a fine film. Good Will Hunting is great also, but I thought there were some slow points. I'm going with Forrest.

Gump. But these are two of my top 50 ever...

Good Will Hunting is more authentic and less annoying than Forrest Gump.

Good Will Hunting by a mile. Kind of funny because one is about a genius and one is about an idiot haha

forest gump

Charming simpleman beats asshole genius.

run forrest run

Close. Forrest because of the scene of Hanks talking to Jenny's grave ;'(

Didn’t love Good Will like a lot of people. Forrest for me!

Who would of ever thought Gump wins over genius?

I really don't like either of these but I suppose I slightly prefer Good Will Hunting.
