Forrest Gump (1994)
"I’m not a smart man… but I know what love is."
In this unforgettable scene, Forrest Gump (Tom Hanks) pours his heart out to Jenny (Robin Wright) in his uniquely straightforward and sincere way. While the moment is deeply touching, the humorous self-awareness in his words makes it both endearing and amusing.
