Good call. Gump makes a run for first.
Forrest Gump: Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running!

I saw Forrest Gump 10 times at the theater.
And that's all I have to say about that....

Easily Gump, Forrest, Forrest Gump. Loved the movie; has left a lasting impression on me. What that is, well, let's just say that it's one of the only movies that got a repeat viewing at the theatre. Hell, I invited all my friends to see it....I thought that everyone needed to see this movie...it was great.

Robert has made lots of films I love...in fact I'd say I like them all. But Roger Rabbit is just great...I have no complaints about it. So inventive, very funny, great effects...I could go on.

Romancing the Stone just slightly over Back to the Future.

Wow . . . this was far tougher than I thought it would be. I really love Forrest Gump, Back To The Future, and Romancing The Stone . . . ended up going with Back To The Future for the highest rewatchabilty level.

I am (to put it lightly) not a fan of Zemekis. However, I must give props to "Used Cars".
Rudy: You've seen how bad business is. We had nun; nuns, protesting in front of the dealership this morning.
Jeff: Nuns?
Rudy: Yeah. I had to get Jim to turn the fire hose on them.
Big Jim: Yeah. And I knocked them mother******* on they ***es, too.

I'm not a fan of recent Zemeckis. His pre-1990 films are all classics (the BTTF trilogy, Used Cars, I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and a few others come to mind), but everything else with the exception of Contact has been total shit (I hate Forrest Gump, What Lies Beneath, and Cast Away with a burning passion).
I voted for Back to the Future since it is probably my favorite film that Zemeckis made with I Wanna Hold Your Hand right behind it.

That was a tough call. I liked a lot of those movies. I eventually settled on Cast Away. It wasn't the most crowdpleasing as some of the others, but I have to give him major props for pulling off a near impossible film to make like that. Still, Contact, Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, are all very impressive works. Can't wait for The Polar Express this Thanksgiving.

I know I'm in the minority, but I just love Contact. I wish more sci-fi movies were made this intelligently.
