		Zemeckis: Well, we had to perfect the system and we had to figure out what the limitations of it were, which aren't very many.
		Zemeckis: I have a very simple philosophy about movies and kids, and that is, when I was a kid, I never wanted to see a movie that was made for kids.

		Produced by Steven Spielberg and co-written by Zemeckis and Gale, BTTF may have endured an arduous shoot (lead Eric Stoltz was replaced by Michael J. Fox part way through filming) but it became a smash hit at the box office and is one of the few genuine classics made during the 1980s.
		Zemeckis' "golden boy" status was cemented with 1988's Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, an inventive hybrid of live-action and animation that recalled the Film Noir genre as well as the classic cartoons of Disney and Warner Brothers.
		Robert Zemeckis' films are distinguished by their whimsy, nostalgia, and wit, as well as the director's passion for groundbreaking special effects and genre-mixing storytelling.

	Robert Zemeckis Celebrity Interview for Cast Away (2000) at The Movie Insider
		It is almost hard to imagine, watching Cast Away, the latest film from Robert Zemeckis, that its often unconventional approach is in stark contrast to many of the director's more mainstream fare, such as Romancing the Stone and Back to the Future.
		Spielberg next had Zemeckis and Gale work on the screenplay of 1941 (1979), which, despite its disappointing box-office returns, convinced the young director that his protégés were valuable commodities.
		Four years later, Zemeckis has made a decidedly LESS cynical film with Cast Away, and as it deals with one man's profound transformation, perhaps the experience of making the film transformed the director, perhaps there are distinct parallels between Hanks' Chuck Noland and director Zemeckis.

	AMCTV.com - Robert Zemeckis Biography
		As a kind of protégé of Steven Spielberg's, it's fitting that Robert Zemeckis has followed his mentor's lead by directing and producing some of the highest-grossing movies ever made.
		Usually working with his writing partner, Bob Gale, Zemeckis' films are typically special effects-driven and the kind of movies for which the term "blockbuster" might have been coined.
		But in addition to the kazillions of dollars his movies have made, perhaps Zemeckis' biggest contribution has been skillfully blending movies with special effects and special characters -- both of which have stayed with audiences long after they've left the theater.

		This 1980 film by director Robert Zemeckis gives no indication of things to come in his career (Contact, Forrest Gump), but it is representative of a certain cynical humor he shared early on with writer-partner Bob Gale.
		Director/writer Robert Zemeckis works with much of the same team that contributed to Steven Spielberg's bloated bomb 1941 and Zemeckis' own charming and wacky directorial debut I Wanna Hold Your Hand to produceUsed Cars, a low-brow comedy boasting easy targets (used car salesmen) and irresistibly attractive cruelty.
		Zemeckis, however, was able to springboard from Used Cars to the kinder, gentler Indiana Jones homage Romancing the Stone, the wildly successful Back to the Future trilogy, and, eventually, to the Oscar-winning Forrest Gump.

	Robert Zemeckis - AwardAnnals (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Academy Award winner for Best Picture, Best Director Robert Zemeckis, and Best Actor Tom Hanks, this unlikely story of a slow-witted but good-hearted man somehow at the center of the pivotal events of the 20th century is a funny and heartwarming epic.
		The opening and closing moments of Robert (Forrest Gump) Zemeckis’s Contact astonish viewers with the sort of breathtaking conceptual imagery one hardly ever sees in movies these day—each is an expression of the heroine’s lifelong quest (both spiritual and scientific) to explore the meaning of human existence through contact with extraterrestrial life.
		Director Robert Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication to this follow-up, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn’t necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was.
