Best Robert Zemeckis Film...

[Jerk Shapiro]

What's the "Best" movie from Writer/Director Robert Zemeckis?

[tbone]

Gotta go with Forrest Gump. Loved Back to the Future and Roger Rabbit also.

[ColinM]

I voted for Cast Away (9/10) because of the lack of votes it was getting, but I think Forrest Gump (9/10) is a tad better.

[SLAW]

FORREST GUMP by a mile, in my opinion.

[Buck Turgidson]

Not one of my favorite Directors. To put it MILDLY.

I do really like Contact, though it's weakened by McConaughey's, um...performance.

My favorite of his films (and I voted "other"), is the wonderfully cynical comedy Used Cars. An underappreciated movie there. Jack Warden is brilliant.

Easy, Forrest Gump!

[arto_j]

My favorite is Contact, so I gave it it's first vote.

And Buck, I though McConaghey was surprisingly good in the film, but then again, if you're allergic to him, he never gives a good...performance. :)

[Knolex]

I love all the 3 Back to the future, but I gotta go with Forrest Gump.

Actually, I kind of liked his work in Ed. I just think he's a crummy dramatic actor. He needs to stick with Romantic Comedies where he can be The Handsome Stiff. He's good at that.

I voted for Cast Away. Good film.

[Jerk Shapiro]

Voted for Forrest Gump Here...Love that movie.

10/10

[Grebdron]

Forrest Gump is a great movie, so I voted for that.

But I gotta agree with Buck, Used Cars rocked! I didn't think anybody else had seen that.

Jim the Mechanic: "Maroon car, my ass! This motherfucker's red!"

[EBastard]

Gump, here.

Jim the Mechaninc: "Yeah, and I knocked them motherfuckers on they ass, too!"

Roy: "Boy, don't you know who I am? I'm Roy L. Fuchs, goddamnit!"

"Look out, Marshall Lucky, it's High Prices!!"

A forgotten classic. I really prefer this cynical Zemeckis. Forrest Gump would've lasted @ five minutes at the New Deal Used Car Lot.

[notchreturns]

He best is obviously Forrest Gump, but my favorite will always be Back to the Future.

[the movie guy]

Con-motherfucking-tact. I love it love it love it.

WAIT! How am I supposed to choose between this and Roger Rabbit??? I forgot about that one. SHIT! This guy rocks. I picked Contact, but it's a tie with Roger Rabbit. (I'll vote again. Bwa ha ha.)

[dannywalker17]

This one was kinda tough, but I voted for BTTF P2. I liked pretty much everything on this list 'cept What Lies beneath and Death becomes her. I didn't see those. After the three BTTF movies, it would be Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, which I didn't know he directed til now.

Also I liked USED CARS as well!

[Benny]

How dare anyone vote Forrest Gump!

I voted for Back to the Future 2, only because I think it's just a little bit better than part 1. I am a big Zemeckis fan though (except for Gump), and I hear he's teaming up with Tom Hanks again for his next movie, so I'll be there!

[Jasonite]

My favorite is without question Contact. I've rarely been so affected by a movie. But his best is probably Forrest Gump. Hell, AFi even put it on their list.

Forrest Gump,BTTF, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit

[chinton]

His best is easily Contact. A smart and very affecting sci-fi film.

[Cronos]

Contact is just absolutely fantastic, Roger Rabbit is just behind it.

[ivana]

Back to the Future

[Powerslave]

Close tie between Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Back To the Future, but I voted for the former. I should probably rewatch Contact as some point, also.

[MickeyKnox]

Back to the Future followed by Forrest Gump.

[zombievictim]

Back to the Future.

[GeneralZod81]

Back to the Future

[poopontheshoes7]

"1.21 Gigawatts!!!!"

Back To The Future baby.

Although Gump is running a close second.

[Monotreme]

I love Bob Zemeckis. He's the kind of director who announces straight out that his first and foremost mission is to create an entertainment, but who still cares enough to give them as much artistic integrity as possible. Forrest Gump and Contact are both 10/10 masterpieces, and Cast Away, Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? are 9/10 excellent pictures that are in my top 100 of all time. I appreciate his technological experimentation, but after reaching a peak with Beowulf, I really hope that he'll return to the live-action stuff he was so good at in the 80's and 90's (and the year 2000, of course).

[go2]

back to the future

[bigred760]

BTTF (the first)

[Bourne101]

Forrest Gump, without a fucking doubt.

[Stumbling Block]

Used Cars

[TheJadedGamer]

Who Framed Roger Rabbit, obviously.

[WebHed]

Forrest Fuckin' Gump

[The Postmaster General]

Back to the Future is one of my 2 favorite movies.

[darknite125]

Back to the Future with Forrest Gump as a very close second.

[Antonio141]

His best is also his most underrated: CONTACT.
