"Back to the Future"

Activate the flux capacitor!  Prepare to be sent back to....1985!  Or was in 1955?  One of my favorites and a classic.  This story is really an age old science fiction time travel story, and yet does not share that reputation as a 'sience fiction film.'  The whole idea of the show is great, and the acting is just fun.  (Who knew we would see Christopher Lloyd again so soon after Angels in the Outfield)  Of course, the best part of this whole film is the Oedipus complex experienced by Marty and his mother.  Pure and awkward hilarity!  And like with any movie made in the 80's, you can't help but love the soundtrack.  Especially with Marty's rendition of 'Go Johnny Go.'  There are some good points  to take from this film as well.  Overall, it sends a messages that says stand up for yourself, and be confident in who you are and what you believe.  Good messages from a great movie.

First off, I just have to say that I do love 80's movies. Especially the music. And this movie is up there, in my humble opinion, as one of the best movies to come out of this time era. Back to the Future has a great cast, great plot, many comical moments, and is just plain fun! Michael J. Fox does an excellent job in his role as Marty. He really does the confused look well. And of course Christopher Lloyd. Where would we be without our mad scientist! He's got that wild crazy white hair sticking out in all directions, and those ginormous bug eyes...it's not too hard to believe that while he's brilliant, he's also a bit on the, well, "mad" side. And of course Biff. You do need a villian. And he plays his role of "the bully" to a tee.

Even though there are tense moments, and even though it is somewhat painful to watch George stumble through trying to ask Marty's mom out, as well as just watching his throughout much of the film, it is overall a fun and enjoyable piece of science fiction, that I find myself enjoying each time I watch it. It's a good one.
