Zemeckis created some of the most memorable films, characters, and moments in screen history.

Until 2012’sDenzel Washington-led drama,Flight,Used Carswas Zemeckis' only R-rated movie.

In retrospect, the film seems like a far cry from Zemeckis' tales ofadolescent time traveland magical trains.

Zemeckis' energy from behind the camera and the editing bay provides the majority of the laughs inUsed Cars.

Zemeckis' less inspiring films of late are desperate forUsed Cars' level of admirable messiness.
