Back to the Future

The one-take opening. Marty skateboarding in the 50s to the tune of the glorious theme. George standing up to Biff. Doc's celebratory dance at the flaming tracks. This is undiluted movie magic. Zemeckis' film, beautifully strung together at a staggeringly high but always enjoyable pace, is filled with ingenious details so that, even upon endless rewatches, knowing the many iconic scenes by heart, I continue to adore every second! Funny and infinitely charming, it will remain one of my favorites.

An insanely fun, ridiculously high-energy 80s sci-fi comedy adventure and one of my very favorite movies of all time. The plot is clever, it's endlessly funny, and filled to the brim with enough clever touches ("Lone Pine Mall") for a dozen viewings. Incest has never been more heartwarmingly hilarious, and Johnny B. Goode just flat-out rocks. Michael J. Fox's Marty McFly is one of the greatest movie heroes ever, and I would eat a whole can of baked beans out of 1985 Lea Thompson's ass.

Pure cinematic joy.

If there was a movie that got me into movies it was this one. I wanted to be cool like Marty McFly, I wanted a dog named Einstein and I wanted a hot girlfriend like Jennifer Parker. Start to finish this is one of the most entertaining movies there is. It's a great comedy/sci-fi story that doesn't stray too far into either genre to take anything away from the other. It has arguably the most famous vehicle in cinema history and some of the most classic characters. A must watch for everyone.

If you don't have a big grin on your face during this movie, how bitter are you?
