no need for a second disc the film isn`t that long any way,i think the package in whole is very insightful.

Disc 2 has the usual making of documentary (30 mins), plus some neat featurettes on the production and sound design and the many special effects shots (including how they made Gary Sinise lose his legs). In this Oscar-winning picture, Forrest Gump, a gentle soul born in a small Alabama town, happens into one memorable experience after another through a panorama of American history from the 1950s to the present. It is interesting to note that in a film viewed by so many so fondly and with such reverence for its title character, Forrest seldom smiles. The winner of six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Robert Zemeckis) and Best Actor (Tom Hanks).

The Registry said that the film was "honored for its technological innovations (the digital insertion of Gump seamlessly into vintage archival footage), its resonance within the culture that has elevated Gump (and what he represents in terms of American innocence) to the status of folk hero, and its attempt to engage both playfully and seriously with contentious aspects of the era's traumatic history.

While Forrest sparks a ping-pong craze, runs across country and invites the smiley face symbol, his real goal is to win over Jenny, whose life took several wrong turns.This makes Forrest Gump — without a doubt one of a handful of the most popular, beloved, and acclaimed pictures in recent memory — an interesting case-study in the mass appeal of pretty, but empty, gestures. Despite his sub-normal IQ, Forrest Gump (played by Tom Hanks in an Oscar-winning performance) leads a truly charmed life, with a ringside seat for many of the most memorable events of the second half of the 20th century.
