This one is really pissing me off. :?

Ok, I know it starred Tom Hanks and possibly won an Oscar. Hanks was in the lead role as a character called Forrest Gump, a simpleton who led an extraordinary life. Basically the film follows this Gump guy through all the things he went through in his life (now that I read 'Gump' back I'm doubting this was the character's name). Anyway, whatever his name was, his best mate was definitely called Bubba (whom he met in Vietnam during the war), his boss was Lieutenant Dan, his missus was called Jenny and he lived with his mum. He was a likeable chap, if a little dim, but he managed to achieve such astonishing feats. I remember he ran right across America (aye right, very believable :roll: ) and built up a vast following who all chanted something at him? He also played table tennis in footage against/or pictured with Richard Nixon! He also said life was like something? I recall this was a memorable line from the film, can't be that memorable if I've forgotten it haha. :lol:

Anyway, I'm sure his name was Forrest, just can't for the life of me remember the film title. :?

Sounds like Apollo 13 to me - not sure though as I haven't seen it - don't reckon its The Da Vinci Code - that was about some artist or something.

Erm, sorry for pointing this out but you've been a bit simple here mate. You actually name the film in your first post! :roll: The film is named after the main character :

It's simply called "Nixon".

I think Tom Hanks role in it was just a cameo as he's not listed in the credits :

It was "Hooch" not "brooch" and it definitely wasn't that film as Tom Hanks played the role of "Turner". Hooch was the dog.

The film you're thinking of was called Notting Hill Forrest. It was a Robin Hood biopic, if I remember correctly.

Does anyone remember that film about a girls' football team that made Keira Knightley famous? The idea was that these girls were so good at football they could bend it like Beckham. But I can't for the life of me remember what the film was called. It was something like Bend it Like Ronaldo. Or was it Bend it Like Morten Gamst Pedersen? Yep, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it was called Bend it Like Morten Gamst Pedersen.

Anyway, I can't for the life of me remember who it starred :?

If its the one I'm thinking of with Keira Knightley in it then I can't remember who starred in it either.

While we're on, does anyone know the web address of a decent forum about fantasy football?

I know a ginger weegie who could do with a few pointers.

I was embarrassed enough when I did that gag (as Ashley Cole) but to stoop as low as to copy a weak murf gag......
