1.21 Gigawatts

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2000)

Let me first start by saying I have seen a lot of movies and am a self proclaimed "Movie Geek" and of all the movies I've seen, I'd say beyond a shadow of a doubt this is my favorite. Truth be told I consider the whole trilogy to be one movie and consider this to be a classic that will be cherished for many many years to come. There is a certain light-hearted, feel good quality in this movie that you just don't see anymore. It's of good moral fiber and the Directing has a crisp, sleek quality to it. The acting is perfectly attuned to the genre and the story is larger than life and the most original to come along in years.
The dictionary defines the word "Classic" as "something that outlives it's anticipated duration". Back to the Future has certainly done that and will continue to appeal to audiences of all ages through out the course of the future. Just like the Proverbial "Bolt of Lightning" that struck the clock tower, BTTF hit audiences across the nation and has forever changed the course of movie making history.
