     Back to the Future
1985  PG  FANTASY  1h 56min
CAST— Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover
MUSIC— Alan Silvestri  DIRECTOR— Robert Zemeckis

     The first of the trilogy, this one is fun from beginning to end. Michael J. Fox plays Marty McFly, a teenager from 1985 who travels back in time to 1955 and accidentally prevents his parents from falling in love, which of course means that he and his siblings will never be born. He has to help his father gain self-confidence enough to ask out his mother while avoiding her (ahem) improper advances, all the while trying to figure out a way home with the help of Doc Brown, the future inventor of the time-traveling Delorian. Sound confusing? Just wait for the sequel. Oscar-winner for Best Sound Effects Editing. Later developed into an animated series. Deemed “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” by the United States Library of Congress National Film Registry.
OUR RATING— ****
FOLLOWED BY— Back to the Future Part II (1989), Back to the Future Part III (1990)
