I tweeted this video a couple of days ago but wanted to post it here as well.
It’s a video of Iron Maiden’s ‘The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner’ with film footage from the movie Forrest Gump of all of the scenes where Tom Hanks (Forrest) is running in the film.
YouTube user ‘Residualbill’ did a really good job of editing the scenes to match the song.
The best part being Forrest’s machine gun fire in Vietnam.
BTW: Really great song to run to for those of you that listen to music!
