Back to the Future


Director: Robert Zemekis
Writers: Robert Zemekis & Bob Gale
Cast: Michael J. Fox, Christoper Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover, Thomas F. Wilson



Tayster's Six Pack Rating:






Back To The Future (BTTF) is one of my favorite movies of all-time. I admit, it may have to do with the fact that I grew up in the 80's and this movie epidomizes the 80's: skateboards, Deloreans, Michael J. Fox, the casual use of '1985', etc. It may have to do with the fact that I thought 'George McFly' was one of the greatest characters in history. Maybe it's just that I had a crush on Lea Thompson. For these reasons and more, I loved the entire BTTF Trilogy.

Besides Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the rest of the cast (Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilson, etc.) were all great. I try to watch this entire trilogy at least once every six months, and I just enjoy all three movies thoroughly.

Yes, even Part II.

P.S. While you're watching Part II, watch closely in the part where Marty goes into the 80's cafe and plays the video game. One of the kids is Elijah 'Frodo' Wood.

A Note About My Ratings

I am not a movie critic. I am just a guy who enjoys watching movies.

My rating system is based on a Six Pack of Dr. Pepper - my beverage of choice at a movie. It's not a perfect system because I tend to rate movies on their "watchability" (I just made that word up) as opposed to how much a critic thinks I should like it.

Basically, if I can see myself watching a movie multiple times, it gets a higher rating. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's a better movie film-wise, it's just a more watchable movie for me. (EXAMPLE: A critically acclaimed film like The Last Emperor [YAWN] will get a lower rating here than a movie like Die Hard. Does that make Die Hard a better movie? Not really, it just means it more watchable.)

But I'm not going to make this a bad movie review blog either. I barely have enough time to post reviews for movies that I really like, so I don't see myself wasting time telling you how much I really hated Spider-Man 3.

I'm not here to start any arguments about movies, just to review some of the movies that I love. You may disagree with me and you may tell me that you disagree with me, but I will not allow personal jabs. If you do post anything in the comments that I don't like, I will either edit your comments &/or delete them.

After all, this is my blog.
