Great classic...but I was surprised with what I didn't remember.

I hadn't seen this movie since I was a kid. I remembered the basic story line and still enjoyed watching it. I probably should have previewed it before letting my boy watch it. It's not horrible but it's difficult to explain to a kid that Biff was sexually assaulting Lorraine in the car at the dance. And I don't think he caught it so I didn't have to explain why Biff's posse called the bands bassist a spook. Sprinkled withing is some other minor profanity. Anyway I only write this in case you are a guy like me who just remembers the story line - watch the thing first before letting your kids watch it. As an adult the movie is great.

I see some people complaining about things like Biff assaulting Lorrain or the cursing or a few racist comments. People are so brainwashed into political correctness these days they don't even understand the difference between a movie and real life. Biff was assaulting Lorrain and that was so terrible that it inspired a guy who never defended himself from years of abuse to finally knock the bully on his arse and protect the woman. This is a great example of something you can show your kids and teach your boys, this is what real men do. They protect.

The comments that are fairly racist by todays standards are non the less typical for 1955 and again good teaching moments if you kids ask.

As for the cursing. Well it's hardly anything to be concerned with these days. If you kids listen to popular music or watch TV they are exposed to far FAR worse on a daily basis.

That all being said this movie was awesome in 1985 and is still fun and exciting to rewatch 35 years later. They made some real winners back then and this is one of the classics.

Parents - Excessive Cursing - PG rating?

Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

I love this movie, I hadn’t watched it in decades. However, I now have young children and was totally shocked at how many inappropriate words were used. There had to have been at least 3 dozen times we cringed or tried to shout over so our 5 & 6 yr olds didn’t hear. Words were most commonly were the S world, hell and the unfavorable usage of a word for a child born out of wedlock. Just be aware if you have kids watching. Otherwise, a complete classic!

Great Scott!!!

If you haven't seen this film, you're missing out on one of the best adventures ever made. Christopher Lloyd is simply brilliant, Michael J. Fox brings tremendous energy and guts to Marty, and Thomas F. Wilson, who plays Biff, creates one of the screens most consistent and despicable villains ever. Robert Zemeckis always has a way of making Spielberg look good.

Run, don't walk. Best not for really young kids, of course, but that one's up to you. :)

What happens when your teen mom forms a crush on you in the past?

Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021

Back To The Future is a classic 80s sci-fi adventure film directed by Robert Zemeckis. Michael J. Fox travels back in time to the 1950s in a DeLorean car modified into a time machine by a scientist played by Christopher Lloyd. There Fox runs into his parents which causes all kinds of problems. It’s a great movie. There’s action like when Fox takes on a bully, there’s jokes like Fox’s awkward father, there’s the whole dilemma of what Fox will do with his parents which starts with his teenage mom forming a crush on him. Plus you get to see the supped up DeLorean and Lloyd’s crazy hairdo which is perfect for his role. I saw this as a kid when it came out and it still holds up today.

Fun Film Even After Many Decades!

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2020

One of the great, all time classics, I caught this when it was free for the weekend on Amazon Prime. Waves of nostalgia came flowing back as I watched Marty, Doc, Biff, George, and Lorraine in all their classic goofiness. I had seen this film when I was a kid and I still enjoy the heck out of it many decades later.

The film is also loaded with Easter eggs and subtle pop culture references. Google them to find out what they are. It's fun to look for them now that I know about them. My all-time favorite scene is when Doc was in the parking lot mall as the Libyans drove in, on the hunt for him.

In disbelief, he asked, "Oh my God. I don't know how but they've found me. I don't know how, but they found me." All the while, the shot is of him standing in front of his big, white box truck, with just enough of it cropped out so that they don't give the joke away. It's obvious how they found him, especially with the words "Dr. E.Brown Enterprise" emblazoned on the side and two light illuminating the words and the truck! The joke is so classic and subtle at the same time!

I put this film in the same canon as 2001 A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, the original Star Wars and Brazil (which was also released in 1985!). All these films depict a futuristic world and tells a story that completely holds up years after they were produced. There is nothing "campy" or "cringe-worthy" about this film, even though it was produced in era where almost all it's contemporaries were both ("Teen Wolf" and "Real Genius" anyone?). I'm so glad that Zemeckis and Gale have vowed never to allow a re-boot in their lifetimes. This film stands tall on it's own.

This movie is a classic! I haven't watched this movie since it came out in the 80's, and I found myself chuckling all the way through it. After watching the first movie, I couldn't wait to sit down and watch the second and third ones. Michael J. Fox is the perfect Marty McFly character; I simply can not imagine anyone else playing him as deftly as Fox does. His portrayal is the centerpin, with his energy, youthful comic timing, and his everyman characterization. You feel like Michael J. Fox IS Marty McFly. Christopher Lloyd is the ideal Doc Brown, and all the supporting cast is wonderful. Watching all the scrapes Doc and Marty get in and out of is delightful.
I thoroughly enjoyed the music for the movie, too. Huey Lewis's "The Power of Love" at the beginning of the movie is the perfect energy and intro to the movie. Then, the cameo of Huey Lewis as one of the music critics cements the music in your memory. Watching and listening to Marty portraying Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" is both funny and mesmerizing.
Five stars!

Damaged item

I bought this as a gift for a friend. I have Amazon Prime so bought my copy direct from Amazon. I was expecting a brand new, unspoilt item, but as you can see in the picture, the dvd sleeve is damaged, with a big chunk of picture scratched off and the edges all worn. I need the item for tomorrow so have no time to return it and have another one sent out. Very unimpressed.

A classic film. I'd forgotten how good it was until it was on television recently and my 7 & 9 year old children were into it straight away. After several explanations of the anomalies of time travel I decided we'd have to own a copy. Easily re-watchable and some great lines, "it's a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes and try to keep up"!
