I enjoy both of those films. Is Forrest Gump a faithful adaptation? No. Is it a good stand-alone movie? Yes. Tom Hanks is wonderful as Forrest and the movie is a perfect feel-good movie and just shows that good things can happen to good people.
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure is actually my favorite Burton film because he doesn't try to be overly-gothic and quirky and it doesn't have Johnny Depp. Don't get me wrong I love Johnny Depp but being in EVERY SINGLE Tim Burton film is a bit much. Besides, I love the Pee-Wee Herman character. Paul Reubens is genius for creating him. He's a cultural icon in every sense of the word. Not to mention the writing of this film just calls for great jokes and set-ups.
Don't attack me for my opinions. I never questioned your lists or made fun.
