10 Times The Movie Was Better Then The Book
'Forrest Gump'
Both the book and the movie version of Forrest Gump have been noted for having questionable politics, having been written in the tail end of the Reagan era and thus reflecting a lot of the same ideas as that now controversial period of American history. But for what it's worth, the movie version is far more wholesome and understanding, and removes much of the profanity and sexual content in the book.

Gump's more naive, innocent personality in the film ended up being its real strength, as it catapulted the film to mega success, remaining the most successful film to never get a sequel. The resulting film ended up receiving multiple Oscar nominations, and won Best Picture over the likes of Shawshank Redemption and Pulp Fiction - that's no easy feat!

Forrest Gump is set in 1981 and is about a friendly man who tells his life story to strangers while sitting on a bus bench.
