Forrest Gump (1994)

This film is a cult classic; an intense, stylised psychological thriller, with a chilling soundtrack, that leaves you disturbed for days.

Raz.DK | 7 years ago | Reply Respect to this guy. There are a few of them I have not seen, otherwise I agree with Bilal. Godfather II is so perfect, in my opinion, but not mentioned. What about "Jacobs Ladder", "Sicario", "The shinning","China Town"-old one with Jack Nicolson!? Please watch them, if you haven´t seen them - you will like them. I do NOT watch Asian movies except some Iranian, Korean etc. ones. But o yeah, I see some PK movies progressing and in the right direction. I would love to watch O21 and Moor. The trailers on Internet have been attracting me and the name "Jami" attached to them. I am looking forward to "Maula Jutt". I cannot decide, whether to watch the old one? Or is it unnecessary? After watching Waar, I want to see original PK movies -made in the terms of Hollywood way of making movies with original PK substance. I even took a flight (from DK) to London to watch Waar in a cinema and was amazed. It was an experience. Hats off to it! "Waar" -the only non-Hollywood movie I have ever watched in a cinema.
