Forrest Gump – Original Motion Picture Score is the original score album for the 1994 film Forrest Gump, directed by Robert Zemeckis. The music was composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri.
Silvestri's music was nominated for Best Original Score in the 67th Academy Awards. The album released is not to be confused with the better-selling (and therefore more common) album of diegetic songs from the film, which were released as Forrest Gump: The Soundtrack.
Critical response
AllMusic's William Ruhlmann called it "saccharine", and said that while it worked as a soundtrack "it has little value on its own", but still awarded it three stars out of possible five.
