Back to the Future

Pros: Hilariously entertaining; Fox and Lloyd are excellent
Cons: It's a guilty pleasure as I keep watching this over and over again

Marty McFly: Calvin? Wh... Why do you keep calling me Calvin? Lorraine Baines: Well, that is your name, isn't it? Calvin Klein? It's written all over your underwear. It’s one thing to have your mother lay out your clothes and ...

Pros: Lots of action and humour, good plot, Chris Lloyd in particular in a great cast...
Cons: ... ... ... well, the sequels weren't as good... ... ...

Back to the Future is a funny and entertaining science fiction movie starring Michael J Fox as Marty McFly, a young man whose friendship with a mad scientist propels him back 30 years with a mission to get home, put a few things right, and just ...

Pros: Incredibly fun, terrific, funny script, great performance from Fox, Glover, Wilson, Lloyd, Thompson
Cons: Some hokey dialogue, a couple convenient things for laughs

As a child in the 1980s, if you had mentioned the name Michael J. Fox to me the character I would have readily responded with would have been without a doubt Scott Howard.  Who?  Not Alex P. Keaton?  Not Marty McFly?  Nope, Scott ...

Pros: It's just one of those classics you can't afford to miss.
Cons: No sense sitting here trying to think of one because I know I won't.

Nothing beats an unexpected rediscovery of an old classic. It makes me feel ten years old again every time I pop this baby into the VCR. What's really cool about my copy, though, is that we taped it off of cable and it has some really cool 80's...

Pros: One of the best films ever made
Cons: none

Its the year 1985, in the quaint little American suburb of Hill Valley. Eccentric inventor Doctor Emnet Brown (Christopher Lloyd), known throughout the community as the town nutcase, has ripped off a radioactive power source from a bunch of terrorists. ...

Pros: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd
Cons: Can't think of any

It's been nearly twenty years since we first met Marty McFly, Doc Brown, and the time traveling DeLorean that so dazzled moviegoers. I well remember the effect this film had on me when I first saw it as a kid. It really helped to expand my imagination...

Pros: Unique, funny, and at times astonishing.
Cons: Surreal in places.

One of the most hilariously entertaining American movies of the 1980s burst on the scene about halfway through that decade of optimism and self-exploration, in Robert Zemeckis’ Back To The Future. In a decade where young, energetic film makers ...

Pros: Love the time travel aspect; Michael J. Fox
Cons: None

After watching last night's drivel, I was in the mood to watch one of my favorite movies. TBS plays Back to the Future at least a couple dozen times per year, so its easy to catch. Why is it one of my favorites? Well, one reason is that it stars...

Pros: Fox &The Doc are awesome.
Cons: Seems like too much goes wrong at the end – almost too much tension created.

This is my first entry into the “The Quotes That Make The Movies W/O”, hosted by yours truly. The idea is that some movies have certain quotes that make the movie complete for whatever reason. Pick a movie with such a quote and review it, but in the ...

Pros: Funny, light, enjoyable and unpretentious.
Cons: Cheesy 80's values and a long, drawn-out finale that inexplicably sets up a sequel.

Seeing as how I was born in 1986 (bet that set off a few of you), I am technically a child of the 80’s. But apart from my birthdate, the eighties were never a big part of my life. I remember, however, stepping into the tiny video store with my mother and...

Pros: Great Family Movie. Great soundtrack.
Cons: Some adult language, but not bad.

Do you ever really think about your parents and their lives before parenthood ? As children or teenagers? I know its a stretch but really try.

Imagine having the chance to go back in time and meet them, hang out with them and alter their...

Pros: it's a great movie
Cons: 1985 is the past not the present.

So it's been a year since I reviewed the B ack to the future the complete trilogy and I have now decided to go back and look at each of the discs individual features and review the movie. Back to the Future was the ...

Pros: Decent acting, Interesting characters, Good plot, Moments of humor, DVD Extras
Cons: Ultimately juvenile protagonist, Hammy interpretation of Libyan terrorists

"Back To The Future" is one of those movies that I saw originally when it was in the movie theater, then earlier this week and never fully in between. So, my perspectives of the movie come from vague recollections of sitting in the theater (I remember ...

Pros: A great cast, the sequels are a must see!
Cons: Can't think of anything, to be honest.

Marty McFly is your typical teenager, he has a girlfriend, loves music and loves skateboarding (big in the 80s), but there's one thing that he's hiding... he will be going back in time. Back To the Future is a movie about Scientist Dr. Emmett Brown ...

Pros: direction, casting, script, story, sets, special effects
Cons: Fox as guitar hero, don't try these stunts at home

Perhaps never before or since has there been a movie like Back to the Future, a slapstick comedy that combined enormous box office success with extremely high quality. Today, the film is dated only by its Huey Lewis soundtrack and the choice of a...
