    I'll always remember that tuesday afternoon in the summer of 1994 when I was feeling sad and for no particular reason I decide to go to the movies. I saw that movie and I was alone in the theater... A private viewing of one of the greatest movie I ever saw to this day... I remember staying on my seat after the credits and everything as if I didn't want it to end... I came out of the theater with a different mindset and that, for the rest of my life so far.... In 2015, I checked a spot on my bucket list... Went down from my hometown of Montreal Canada to Savannah, GA to sit on a bench in Chippewa Square and eat a chocolate.... Thank you for that video Adam! Wow!

    I really enjoyed this. If I could make one recommendation, have more split screens between the film and the location. Or, hold on the two of them a bit longer. Sometimes it feels as if you move on too quick. I have to pause or go back too often. Really love these videos, thanks so much for making them.

    It was amazing when I went to US for the first time. Seeing so many places I've seen since I was born in movies and television shows was really nice. When I went to the Lincoln memorial at Washington DC, I was like: Well, isn't this the place where forrest gump gave his speech? I don't know, it was just amazing that I was actually there and that the place really exists. Now I look at this video and I say to myself: Wow, I was really there.

    I was looking up people associated with the movie who have Twitter accounts that we could possibly share this with. Robert Zemeckis does NOT apparently have one, but I found a few that do: Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, Sally Field, Haley Joel Osmont, Hanna Hall (young Jenny), Geoffrey Blake (Jenny's abusive boyfriend) and composer Alan Silvestri.

I was emotional back then when those credits first rolled, and I was unexpectedly emotional again today, after seeing this exceptionally well-made tribute.

    They did a major overhaul on the Reflecting Pool since the movie. Took a trip to DC in 2011 with the intention of getting some awesome night shots of it and it was completely torn up. it is now circulated water that drains to a tidal basin. The “pool” use to be uncirculated water that was stagnate. If they needed more water they would just add potable water. It often smelled horrendous as various birds would do their business in there.

    I am one of your current subscribers the last few years and I went back and found this absolute gem! This was an amazing video you did here. You should’ve got a damn emmy award for this. The research to find and match up locations must have been exhausting! What an accurate diligent job you did! Thanks so much for all of your work, it’s greatly appreciated! G-d Bless you brother! I met you once in 2018 and said hello in magic kingdom near the train at the entrance to main st in Florida and I wouldn’t expect you to remember me, but I’m a fan of your channel. Wishing you much continued

    I used to live in many of the locations used to shoot this movie. Adamthe woo, I do have to say you are NOT embelishishing anything I've seen in this video. You've done an excellent job. I've personally been to many of these locations, and even had my hair cut in that barber shop in Varnville. I have been watching your videos of abandoned buildings for a long time, and, even after this, I can say your information is accurate. I've eaten in that restaurant in Savannah where "Jenny" worked many times. In fact, I think I've sat at that table where the TV was. Not deliberately, of course....but, because I like to sit near a window when I eat. I used to live about 3 blocks from the "barber shop" in Varnville, and recognize some of the landmarks in Varnville. I now live about 20 miles from there. The school was "Hampton Street Elementary" in Walterboro, SC. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and continues to be renovated even to this day. I've seen many plays in the auditorium, and, trust me, they are not shy about pointing out the water fountains in that hallway!
    Thank you for being honest in your reviews and in your exploration. I've seen many tour guides in Savannah take liberties with "history" and embellishing their stories. You ware not even from this neck of the woods, and you did a WONDERFUL job. I can't thank you enough.

I had tears in my eyes from joy and sadness just seeing the test of time on the filming locations from my favorite movie of all time. I saw Forrest Gump in theaters when I was just 8 years old and each time I watch it it means something new and different to me.

    I stumbled upon your videos last month, (which we are working our way through when we can) whilst researching days out in Southern California as we are coming over mid August for 3 weeks with the family to Anaheim for our holiday ( 8th time )
    I have to say you are an inspiration to those that have the fortune to break free from life's monotonous churn.
    You have done and are doing all the things I dreamt of from being young...the zany magical adventuring like a real life Goonies film. To many it may seem one huge holiday but I can appreciate the long days and nights and uncertainty of your travels but by the heck they are truly superb !
    If I could stitch your vlogs together into one huge edit it would be the greatest and most entertaining movie ever made !
    Defo going Bubba Gumps on our 1st night in Anaheim to celebrate this "majestic" video and I'll wear your T shirt ( the one that looks like a Mike Judge sketch from Beavis n' Butthead, it's awesome LOL ) to spread the love !
    Join me ? Shall You ?
