Because of all the emotions you feel all at once.

The story of Forrest Gump is of one man’s journey through life as he encounters different instances in modern history. Because of Forrest’s character and all the experiences he goes through, you feel a whole array of emotions all at the same time. You feel happy, sad, you want to laugh, you want to cry, you want to stand up and cheer all at the same time. I believe the feeling you are left with after you watch this movie for the first time is a feeling like nothing else you will experience.
