So what happened with Apes??? Has the novelty of it worn off or was the plot a total mess and people gave 0 fucks about it and went to Nolan instead?? 

 

All of the above! 

[ACSlater]

Dunkirk time.

Not really. It's a beautiful beautiful movie. Just not one for the masses

[WrathOfHan]

Contact is pretty meh. It's probably one of my least favorite Zemeckis films. I'd certainly give it another shot tho.

Back to the Future

Forrest Gump

Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Cast Away

Back to the Future Part 2

Allied

The Polar Express

Back to the Future Part 3

Contact

A Christmas Carol

That's a pretty accurate ranking though I'd put Flight somewhere in the middle

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Dunkirk is obviously fantastic in 15/70 IMAX. Just as good the 2nd time. Had a lot of applause at the end of the film, contrary to the first time around.

I haven't seen it in a long time but Used Cars was also pretty good

Good thing POP basically scared off Gylleenhaal from ever doing big budgeted tentpole films then.

Least favorite? I adore Zemeckis but he's done far worse than Contact.

I just brought up the big box office draws. Death Becomes Her is really, really great. I really liked The Walk. Romancing the Stone is incredibly fun. Flight has one of the best, if not, the best plane crashes I've ever seen in a theater. My heart was thumping ten minutes after the crash still. The other incredible plane crash is his own too in Cast Away. Hell, even What Lies Beneath is a fun albeit silly pulpy suspense thriller. Used Cars is awesome too.

Not a year goes by that I don't watch Back to the Future, Death Becomes Her and Roger Rabbit at least once each. Surprised to see BTTF2 below BTTF3... Was it seeing Zemeckis play in the Western genre that gives it the edge for you?

A Christmas Carol really is the worst film he's made. It's just so soulless and dry. I remember seeing it over Thanksgiving when I was 9 with my dad and grandma, and none of us cared for it.

The lesson here Tele hates Christmas

Spoiler

Yeah this version of a Christmas Carol is pretty bad.  And Polar Express doesn't provoke much of a reaction
