Missy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Ah, Robert Zemeckis. How I love thee! Ahem. Anyway... here we are again with another Favorite / Best, this time, obviously, focusing on Robert Zemeckis. As always, first choose your favorite film, then the best one. For me, Back to the Future is easily my favorite Zemeckis film. Because of it I fell in love with time travel. It made Michael J. Fox cool in that dorky / Peter Parker way. The comedy, drama and adventure are perfectly mixed. And it's just fun! However, for my money, his best film is Forrest Gump. It's so emotional and deep, yet there's a very simple charm permeating the entire picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 What is it about BTTF II that makes it your favorite and the best? It's good, but I prefer part three over two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Best because outside of Forest Gump, none of his other works were particularly spectacular or praised, I don't think. Favorite because I disliked most of part 3. Wasn't a fan of the setting and whole thing was sort of bland to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I honestly think the first BTTF is Zemeckis' best film, largely for all the reasons why Mike has it as his favorite. My favorite, on the other hand, is Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That was the most fun I could remember having in a movie theater up to that point.

Dread Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Contact for both. I watched it on a long plane flight and sat jaw agape during the whole thing. I was so thirsty at the end my mouth hurt and my lips felt like they were cracking. I realized it's because I never took a drink. He was doing something with that film that people still aren't getting today. When they do, it will be legendary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is my favorite, but Forrest Gump is definitely his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I second Yoda's choices. BTTF is my favorite, but Gump is his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 The first BTTF is probably the best overall, its a superb adventure film and its so much fun. However I prefer the second installment just because theress a little extra geek joy in Marty visiting possible futures and presents whilst mingling all that with all the stuff he did in the first film. I admit a lot of people don't share my joy over II and it can be confusing and a little daft, but its that childhood film I always liked.

Luke Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Forrest Gump for both for me. I'm not a big fan of his films bar that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
