Today I was channel surfing & I caught the very end of the movie CONTACT (http://contact-themovie.warnerbros.com/). Is it just me, or does the music from this movie sound very much like the music from FORREST GUMP (http://contact-themovie.warnerbros.com/)?

Don't know if it is the exact same music, but Alan Silvestri is credited with "Original Music" for both films. He may have a distinctive style. (I have all musical ear of a turnip.)

That would answer a lot! They sound very similar to my untrained ears!

Same director, too - Robert Zemeckis
