What makes a film recollected?
With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. But with a bad script even a good director can't possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the script must be something that has the power to do this.

Lines in Forrest Gump
LIFE was like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
You are no different than anybody else is.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Miracles happen everyday.
Death is just part of life.
You got to put the past behind you before you can move on.
