Back To The Future is the one to help id Zemeckis.

Never heard of Real Steel or Flight.

Zemeckis actually wrote the Back to the Future films, he didn't direct them.

Zemeckis definitely directed Back to the Future. A simple IMDB search will tell you that. Also, where did you get these directors? Is this your own personal list? What about Kurosawa, Fellini, Ford, Bergman, Leone, Altman, or Lynch?

I'm sad to see this list of directors casted as the best of all time. There is not a single director outside the united state. Most of the Greats of cinema like Kurosawa, Kobayashi, Ozu, Mizoguchi, Fellini, Rossellini, Antonioni, David Lean, Jean Renoir, Godard, Bresson, Tarkovski, Eisenstein, Bergman are not from us and should get some recognition too
