A "Timeless" Classic! One of the best movies ever made!

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2017)

"Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?" Yes Marty McFly, in fact, that is your famous quote from one of the best movies, Back to the Future. Ever since I saw this movie, it has always been one of my favorites. Everything about this movie is great, from the cast, to the story, to the many marvelous one- liners. With all that being said, let us travel back to 1985 and Marty McFly's misadventures in Back to the Future!
Marty McFly is a 1985 teenager who is called on by his friend, Dr. Emmett Brown to come to the mall at 1:30 am to see his latest invention. Apparently, using plutonium that he stole, Doc was able to harness the power of the material to power a DeLorean car. The catch, the DeLorean is a time machine. However, Doc is shot down by the terrorists whom he stole the plutonium from. Marty gets in the DeLorean and attempts to escape. However, he accidentally gets up to 88 mph, and is transported back to 1955. Marty thinks he is in a dream, until he comes across the future mayor as a sweeper in a diner. Marty then finds his dad, and interferes with his meeting with his mom. Suddenly, Marty finds his mom, who seems to have the hots for him. Marty is able to find Doc and gets Doc to believe that he is from the future. Doc tells Marty that his interference with his parents meeting might cause him to never exist. Marty plans to get his parents together while allowing Doc to get him back to 1985. They eventually come up with a plan: using the exact time that a bolt of lightning will strike the clock tower, Doc will set up a wire that will transport the lightning's power into the DeLorean as it reaches 88 mph, sending Marty back to the future. At the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, Marty is able to get his parents together, and his plan to warn Doc that he will be killed that night in 1985 fails as Doc tears up the letter saying it will be catastrophic in the space-time continuum. Their plan is a success, and Marty is transported back to 1985. To his surprise, Doc taped Marty's note back together and wore a bullet-proof vest to protect himself. When Marty asks for an explanation, Doc says "I figured, what the hell."
What makes this movie great? Let's start with the cast. Without a doubt, Marty McFly and Doc Brown are two of the best movie leads ever! They have great chemistry together, and both pull off some very memorable one-liners. My personal favorite is Doc's line: "Great Scott!" The supporting cast is also great. Marty's dad and mom are very quirky and very funny. Some of the scenes, like when Marty disguises himself as Darth Vader from Planet Vulcan, are some of my favorites ever in any movie.
The story of the film is also very inventive. This was the definitive time travel movie, and still is to this day. Loaded with some still impressive special effects, the story is very real and an absolute gem to watch.
In my opinion, Back to the Future is an instant classic film. With great characters, an extremely inventive story, and eye-popping effects, Back to the Future has truly supplanted itself among some of the best movies of all time. While it is only #12 on my personal favorite movies list, there is no doubt that this is a movie that anyone can pick up and watch. Back to the Future gets a 9/10!!! See this movie if you have not!!!
