Special Place in 80s Movies

Rating: 9/10 (2 September 2009)

Rewatched Back to the Future recently for the first time in 5 or 6 years and decided to rate it for fun here. In all honesty this movie is probably not a "9", but growing up with with it, I attach huge sentimental value to it. The script is a work of art as is the energy, pacing, and acting. The cast and director really hit the right blend of humor and adventure rarely seen in movies even now. I particularly loved Christopher Lloyd as the manic absent-minded professor. His comic facial expressions and clumsiness come off great. No part of this movie is poorly done, and the accompanying music is superb. Do yourself a favor and watch this classic if you've never seen it before.
