With award season in full swing, I thought that this week's buzz lines should also celebrate one of movie history's big successes! Forrest Gump was the winner of 1995's best picture Oscar and it still remains quotable to this day (admit it: every time you tell someone to run, you want to add "Forrest" to it). I've listed out some of the best-known lines from the movie below — check them out and Read more
This is uncanny! I never saw Forrest Gump but I would like to think that if I had, I would have noticed the similarities almost identical elements between these two films! "From the writer who brought you Forrest Gump comes the touching story of a man-child told through flashbacks with a thick New Orleans voiceover . . ." Read more
Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar T-shirt! You guys chipped in a lot of different ideas for this one, even though it's hard to imagine any other actors in this cast. I think the hardest role — and the most important, of course — is Forrest.

Every other Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

It's a strange experience when you realize you're enjoying a movie more than you enjoyed the book on which it's based because so often the opposite is true. After all, presumably an author has the advantage because he/she can provide deep insight into characters that actors have to convey with but a glance. Every so often, though, a story makes a lot more sense onscreen. Here I've compiled a Read more
Because of Oscar Week (don't forget to cast your ballot!) and our Oscar Worthy Gadgets feature, I've been thinking about the gadgets of past Oscar winners too. One of my favorite movies of all time is Forrest Gump, and this epic movie never fails to bring me to tears — or make me want to listen to oldies. Forrest Gump wasn't exactly geeky himself, but fictionally, he's responsible for an Read more
Shrimp is on my mind today (fyi it's National Shrimp Day) and I keep thinking of the shellfish's most famous big screen moment. Remember the shrimp scene from Forrest Gump where he and Bubba become friends in Vietnam, and Bubba describes his aspirations of opening a shrimp restaurant? This scene not only made every watcher hungry for seafood, but it also sparked a chain of Bubba Gump restaurants Read more

Take the quiz and see if you know these movies as well as we do. Question 1 of 5Name that movie: Steel Magnolias The Man in the Read more
