One of my Favorite 80s Films

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2000)

This film is the first in a very tight trilogy of movies that really fit well together. It is funny, enjoyable and just plain "awesome".
Michael J. Fox is perfect in the role of Marty McFly as he inadvertently goes back in time. The damage that he causes by his presence in the 1950s threatens his very existence. In order to avoid completely disappearing, he must reunite his mother with his nerdy father, George, during their teenage years.
Mr. Strickland, Biff, Marty and George McFly are very memorable characters and this is a film that you will want to see multiple times. Each successive viewing will likely reveal some detail that was missed the previous time. This film is really well done and I would recommend it to almost any audience. I'd give this picture *** and 1/2 out of ****. This movie was best viewed in the 1980s, but watching it now adds another dimension to going back in time. Definitely make seeing this stylish, slick, funny and enjoyable film a priority.
