Robert Zemeckis' science-fiction, fantasy stars (a superb) Michael J. Fox as teenager Marty McFly and (an equally great) Christopher Lloyd as scientist, Emmett 'Doc' Brown.
After a showdown at the Twin Pines Mall, Marty McFly climbs into Doc's DeLorean time machine and goes back in time to 1955. Here he accidentally stops his parents from meeting (a brilliant Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover) and unless he can reunite them, he'll never have been born! Perhaps a younger Doc Brown has the answer to getting him home again. Great Scott!
BTTF is a magnificent film with wonderful (now iconic) characters and a genius screenplay. The dialogue is clever, the score is great and the set pieces are memorable. See: Marty inventing the Skateboard and giving local 50's bully Biff Tannen (a fantastic Thomas F. Wilson) a taste of his own, well, not medicine!
To think Disney turned it down because of the purposely awkward scenes, in which Marty's younger mother, Lorraine flirts with him (in the past.)
'Go Johnny go!' An 80's classic, but BTTF is truly timeless.
