Still ticking the boxes after 26 years

Rating: 10/10 (2 April 2011)

I have lost count of the number of times I have watched Back To The Future - I even bought the trilogy box set! For me this first in the series will always remain head and shoulders above the other two.
Time travel movies tend to be complicated and often dull. You need to keep up with the plot and when things go awry, you can find yourself lost or just bored.
Not so with BTTF. Even now, 26 years on, I was still sitting on the edge of my seat as Marty and the Doc attempted to get the lightning strike just right - and I KNOW that it all works out in the end.
But that's the draw of this fantastic movie - it continues to thrill after 26 years! Even TV editing for content and character comments does not detract from the spirit of the movie.
Highly recommended.
