One of the most classic scenes in Forrest Gump was when he appears on The Dick Cavett Show. Forrest appears alongside Beatle-great, John Lennon, and in the movie, Forrest had just returned from playing ping-pong in China. He appears to help Lennon inspire a song too.

Forrest helped inspired the iconic musician to write Imagine. Once again, the impressive digital effects were used to create this scene. The scene was a real one from the show, but for the movie, Yoko Ono was digitally removed and replaced with Hanks.
