I was wondering if someone could tell me what other films Robert Zemeckis (Back To the Future) has directed . His name sounds familiar but I can't seem to recall any of his other movies. Thanks for the help. Greg Case {ihnp4,utcsrgv,allegra}!garfield!gregory5 Memorial University of Newfoundland , St. John's , Newfoundland, Canada

Field of Honor This is a student film that Zemeckis and his partner Bob Gale made while they were at USC. Steven Spielberg saw it and forced Universal Pictures to make: I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1978) which was their first feature. It's about five teenagers from New Jersey who road trip to New Yawk to see the Beatles perform on the historic Ed Sullivan Show. Starred Susan Newman (Paul's daughter), Bobby DiCicco, Nancy Allen, Eddie Deezen and Marc (Jimmy Olsen) McClure. 1941 (1979) Zemeckis and Gale wrote this for Spielberg to direct. Used Cars (1980) A great comedy. Starred Kurt Russell, Jack Warden, Gerritt Graham and Frank McRae as unscrupulous used car salesmen in Phoenix. Fifty bucks never killed anybody. Died at the box office. From Columbia Pictures. Romancing the Stone (1984) Zemeckis was going to direct Cocoon next. But Twentieth Century Fox insisted he be replaced. On the other hand, they let Michael Douglas hire Zemeckis to direct what turned out to be 20th's biggest moneymaker of 1984. Starred Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. Back to the Future (1985) Their next project is: The Shadow Based on the radio serial character created by Walter Gibson. To quote Zemeckis "A cross between Dracula and Indiana Jones" In preparation now at Universal Studios. No cast set yet.

His name sounds familiar >but I can't seem to recall any of his other movies. Robert Zemeckis also directed I_Want_to Hold_Your_Hand and Romancing_the_Stone. I Want to Hold Your Hand is about various people trying to see the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964
