Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump is already winning — and it gets better as the stakes rise. At 58% across 150 head-to-head matchups, the overall record is strong. The finals record is even stronger. An enormous cultural touchstone whose earnestness has aged into something more complicated. Voters over forty choose it on instinct; younger voters are more likely to interrogate what it's actually saying. Among Robert Zemeckis's films on BingeBracket, nothing beats it.
Synopsis
A man with a low IQ has accomplished great things in his life and been present during significant historic events—in each case, far exceeding what anyone imagined he could do. But despite all he has achieved, his one true love eludes him.
Already strong at 51% in the opening round, stronger at 62% in the semis, and strongest at 73% in finals. Forrest Gump has a finishing gear most films on the platform can't access.
Cast Away is the nearest thing to a true rival at 51%. The margin is slim and the outcome still feels unsettled. Apollo 13 is the easy matchup at 100%. Fight Club is the kryptonite at 0%. The gap between best and worst opponent says a lot about what Forrest Gump can and can't handle.
In Tom Hanks: America's Dad, the path to the title runs through Captain Phillips — and Forrest Gump takes it at 80%. A dominant champion.
Of the 2 Robert Zemeckis films tracked on BingeBracket, Forrest Gump leads. Cast Away at 55% is the other entry — a 55% gap between them.
Ranked #1 in Tom Hanks: America's Dad.
