Classic Friday : Back To The Future (1985) 10/10

Starring : Michael J Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, Thomas F Wilson, Claudia Wells
Director : Robert Zemeckis
Running Time : 111 mins

Marty McFly (Fox) is invited to witness his friend Doc Brown (Lloyd) unveil his latest invention – a time machine in the form of a DeLorean car, but when terrorists gun the Doc down, Marty has to jumps into the Doc’s car in order to try and escape. The time circuits are accidentally activated, and Marty finds himself in 1955, trying to make sure that his parents get together, or he may never exist!

This is probably the strongest movie the entire 1980s has to offer. The plot has been painstakingly thought through so as to avoid any possible plot holes, unlike other movies of it’s ilk. Both Fox and Lloyd are brilliant as the main two characters, and the supporting cast are energetic and clearly enjoying themselves throughout.

Why did this not get 11/10. It demands 11/10. It pisses over any other film you've ever reviewed ever. This movie review site should be called 'Ed's Movie Review Focussing On Films From 1985 and starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd' and you should only review 'Back To The Future' once a week, and give it 11/10 each time.
