This was a difficult list to make, because I adore all of these films so much. Zemeckis has made only one film that I absolutely detest: FLIGHT.

It's flawed but it's interesting - certainly better than Death Becomes Her. (And both are preferable to The Frighteners; that was Peter Jackson, but Zemeckis executive produced.)

That's interesting, because I thought FLIGHT was a return to form for him, back to when he did films with slightly politically incorrect elements back in the 70s and early 80s.
I think his Back to the Future 1 and 3 are really excellent entertainments. I will stick up for his animated Christmas Carole, I think it is really quite good, and a really lovely score too.
Maybe not my absolute favorite Zemeckis movie, but it is right up there. I love the madcap zaniness. Yes, I did say it was madcap and zany.
Back To The Future may be #1 ( or maybe even Cast Away, I love the melancholy of the last act ), but I wish, oh how I wish Zemeckis would make a return to these kitchen sink type comedies he and Bob Gale concocted. These days he is all Mr Serious

I just bought I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND today! I have never seen it, but I love Zemeckis, and you told me how you like it! Your opinion means a lot.
Thanks. Well, I hope those of us who've praised it didn't get your hopes up for nothing (meaning: I hope you enjoy it!). I'm not sure whether you'd have to be a big Beatles fan to fully appreciate that film or not, but it's still got some funny scenes in it. Good viewing, henry...
I wouldn't call myself a Robert Zemeckis fan. I liked a few of his movies. Back to the Future his most endearing and entertaining. Roger Rabbit for the animation and technical achievement. His mo-cap stuff is awful though.
Have you seen ROMANCING THE STONE? That's a fun movie directed by Zemeckis.
