32 Great Songs Featured In Forrest Gump


Forrest Gump has an amazing soundtrack with a ton of songs that still get listened to today. In this list, we explore many of them, and talk about how they are important pieces of the classic movie. Sure, the music does help play into the idea that Forrest Gump comes across as a Baby Boomer fever dream, but we can also honestly say the soundtrack includes some of the best music of the 20th Century.

Sweet Home Alabama – Lynyrd Skynyrd

Forrest, played, of course, by Tom Hanks, is from the great state of Alabama, so there was no way anyone could construct a soundtrack of classic rock and roll tunes and not include “Sweet Home Alabama” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. For Forrest and for his lifelong friend Jenny (Robin Wright) Greenbow, Alabama is home sweet home.
