Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump was released into theaters on July 6th, 1994. Filming locations include Flagstaff and Twin Arrows, Az. Savannah, Ga. Beaufort, Lady's Island, McPhersonville, Varnville and Yemassee, SC. Mexican Hat, Ut. and Washington D.C. There are many more filming locations but I'm only going to list the one's I've personally visited and I'll add more to this page as I continue to do so. It was directed by Robert Zemeckis, who has directed a number of hollywood blockbusters, including the Back to the Future trilogy. Tom Hanks played the lead of Forrest Gump in what's probably his career defining role. The films' visual effects were ahead of their time. Using CGI, it was possible to depict Gump meeting deceased personages and shaking their hands. Hanks was first shot against a blue screen along with reference markers so that he could line up with the archive footage. To record the voices of historical figures, voice actors were filmed and special effects were used to alter lip-syncing for the new dialogue. Archival footage was used and with the help of such techniques as chroma key, image warping, morphing, rotoscoping, Hanks was integrated into it.
The movie is unanimously regarded as one of the greatest films of all-time. It was nominated for thirteen Academy Awards, winning six. The wins include Best Picture, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Tom Hanks), Best Director (Robert Zemeckis), Best Writing, Best Film Editing and Best Visual Effects. The line "Mama always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." was ranked #40 on the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest Movie Quotes. It was added to the National Film Registry in December of 2011. The film boasts an extensive soundtrack, showcasing many great songs that had come out over the course of the movies timeline. The solid score was composed by the legendary Alan Silvestri. The films first DVD release was on August 28th, 2001.
Bus stop bench - Bull St. and Hull St. Savannah, Ga. 31401
(Chippewa Square)
The square is named after The Battle of Chippewa, which occurred in 1812. The statue in the center of the square is of General James Oglethorpe. In the film, the bench faced north, looking straight down Bull St. Four fiberglass benches were used to film the scenes, with one of them being donated to the city afterwards. It currently sits in the Savannah History Museum. Replicas of the bench, and in most cases Forrests' shoes, can be found all over the country, mainly at Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Restaurants. As of 2020, there are twenty-nine in the United States. The first was opened in Monterey, Ca. in 1996. Currently in the spot where the bench was, sits a garden.

Gump house - 3547 Combahee Rd. Yemassee, SC. 29945
(Bluff Plantation)
The house was specifically built for the movie and torn down immediately after filming had wrapped. It took production roughly two months to build the house. In 2007, a new house was built right next to where the Gump house once stood. All of the driveway scenes were also filmed at this location.

Loves - 6817 Chief of Love Rd. Savannah, Ga. 31419
Today it's named Love's Seafood. It's been in operation since 1949. At the time of filming, there were two bridges at this location. The out of commission, smaller bridge that they filmed on, and the newer main bridge that took the Hwy-17 traffic over the Ogeechee River. At some point in the mid to late 90's they expanded the main bridge and removed the out of commission bridge altogether.
