  1. Incredible film, great cast, acting, directing, and script. I’m personally blown away by the editing, there isn’t a wasted moment. 1 hour 56 minutes and it uses every one of them to tell a fantastic, immersive story. On my list of perfect movies.

  2. My one single complaint with the movie is the ending. Those people that are his “family” at the end are NOT the ones he grew up with: They had entirely different experiences and moments together that our Marty did not participate in, nor has any memory of.

    That’s a common issue I have with time-travel plots: In real life, if I go back far enough, then anything I do differently alters circumstances just enough so that people I love aren’t born. ‘About Time’ (2013) is an excellent film that features this very complaint and handles it well.

  3. Great movie, and one of the rare films that actually made more money on its second weekend of release.

  4. And boy, am I dreading it now. I’ve never become so bored over a movie after it came out and after I used to love it.

  6. I saw Back to the Future in the theatre, on a $2 Tuesday! Then I went out and bought soundtrack on cassette. Best time of my life!

  7. I saw the orchestral version of this movie a few years back at Radio City. Got to see Doc Brown, Strickland and Bob Gale.

  9. This movie came out in July and local theater kept it running so long I was able to see it on the big screen in October or November.

  10. proud to have this movie as the #1 at the box office the day I was born. also, I’m officially old

  12. I got a skateboard and learned karate. I was the best around.
