Summary: This series is pretty McFly for a white guy
Comment: This is as typical of a teen eighties movie as you can get, in fact the eighties might have been the decade that those teen movies were invented, if not then this is when they definitely got popular. The formula is generally the same, there is a self assured kinda rebellious young man who sometimes gets in trouble, has a nice girlfriend, and gets into all kinds of trouble. He listens to cool music, says "ayyyyyyy" a lot, and most of the time has some sort of mullet. Some of the teen movies are good, some of them awful, but this one is a cut above the rest, Back to the Future is one of the best movies of the 1980's, and 80's superstud Michael J. Fox leads off this excellent movie. He plays Marty McFly, a high school kid who hangs out with the crazy scientist Dr. Brown, a wacky spaced out inventor played to perfection by Christopher Lloyd. The performances of Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd and their chemistry really are what make this movie they are perfect for their parts and really make this the movie that it is.
The plot is very nice too. We see Marty McFly's neighborhood before anything was there, and it was just open land. We see the small town he lives in when it was much smaller in size, and there wasn't so much expansion. We see a lot of cool stuff in this movie. This is a movie that holds your interest through the entire thing. I have to admit I am a science fiction fan, and I have always been fascinated wit the concept of time travel, and while this movie is a complete fantasy (they travel back in time in a Delorean) It is also interesting to see the makeup jobs in this movie, we see characters 30 years in the past, and we see 40 year old people playing people who are twenty years old and vice versa. The highlight of the movie remains Christopher Lloyd, who plays what might be his best part ever, he is just too funny for words, and is so over-the-top he gives this movie the perfect tone, and compliments everyone around him with his great performance.
The story progresses nicely, the last half hour is priceless, as we see Michael J. Fox play Johnny Be Good to a crowd who has never heard rock and roll as we know it. Then he goes back to the future and he almost misses it. The movie has the Quantum Leap aspect of it as we see what opens when you alter the past which affects the present in ways we never would have thought of. This movie is both a nice timepiece for the fifties and the eighties, showing at least the way that people in both time would like to have thought they were, in an idealistic world, so the movie is interesting like that, and has a nice touch of comedy, and science fiction here. The two genre's mesh well here, and sometimes Science Fiction and comedy don't always go well together. (see Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) It is also kind of funny to see the time period conflict with each other, we see things that are done in the eighties, and not in the fifties and vice versa. While there are no belly laughs in the movie there are enough jokes and enough interesting moments that will definitely make you think, this is not a socially conscious movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it is something that is very interesting. This movie is probably the centerpiece of Michael J. Fox's film career, he rarely had a films this successful other than the two sequels, and this was a monster hit for the day. While it is one of the best eighties movies it is also one of the best about time travel, corny it might be but Back to the Future remains one of the best of it's kind, it's kinda hard to classify, but of whatever genre it is, it is one of the best.

Summary: Love the box set
Comment: I remember going to the theater to see all 3 of these when I was a kid. We recently took our kids to Universal Studios Orlando where we met the Doc Brown character and my kids didn't know who he was! I couldn't believe it! So as soon as we came home I ordered the trilogy which we then watched over the next 3 weeks for family movie night. Now these movies hold a special place in my kids hearts too. Thank you for that.

Summary: Must for the fans
Comment: I think we all know by now the true fans have the DVD versions of something (really big fans with money have Blu-Ray or whatever). This is a great collection of what I think is one of the best trilogies ever made. It's fun, actiony, with plenty of humor and random and contradictory sci-fi. What more could you want? The three movies are there, plus the usual fun assortment of bonus features. Great collection.

Summary: The past and the future is alot of fun.
Comment: All 3 movies are in full screen. Formatted to fit your screen.
BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985)
Eric Stoltz was filming his scenes at Puente Hills Mall for "Back To The Future", however it just wasn't working out right. Stoltz was replaced.
Enter Michael J. Fox who won the part to play "Marty McFly". He was working on the "Family Ties" tv series at the time and stayed up all night to work on the Mall parking lot scene with Christopher Lloyd.
"Back to the Future" was released July 3, 1985 and the story begins on October 26, 1985.
Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) is a high school student who helps Dr. Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd) take care of his house while the doctor is away. That night, he must meet Doc at the Twin Pines Mall. With a DeLorean automobile turned into a time machine, Doc explains to Marty he is going 25 years into the future (2010). When the Libyans find Doc and shoot at him, Marty escapes in the time machine and ends up in the past, November 5, 1955 in Hill Valley at the exact spot.
There he meets his own father (Crispin Glover) and his mother (Lea Thompson) who are teenagers.
Like "Star Trek", you are not suppose to alter the past in anyway, but in Marty's case, he must find Doc in 1955 to help him with a time machine and get his mother and father to kiss at the dance, so Marty can exist and get back to 1985.
Very cute movie and a lot of fun to watch.
Also in the cast: Marc McClure, Wendie Jo Sperber, Thomas F. Wilson, Clauia Wells, Deborah Harmon, George DiCenzo, James Tolkan, Jeffery Jay Cohen, Casey Siemaszko, Billy Zane, Elsa Raven, Jason Hervey.
Note: The Puente Hills Mall is known as "Twin Pine Mall" and later "Lone Pine Mall". The mall today still exists in City of Industry, California, although it has changed businesss and re-construction over the years.
Running Time: 1:55 rated PG.
______________________________________________________________
BACK TO THE FUTURE, PART II (1989)
When Marty came back to 1985, not everything was quite right. Because Marty interferred in the past with Biff almost sexually assaulting his mother and his father stopping Biff and how his mother and father finally connected, the present 1985 is not how it should be.
So Doc returns in the DeLorean time machine to pick up Marty and Jennifer because their kids in the future, October 21, 2015, are not right either. However, when Marty runs into his son on the square, buys an almanac which Old Biff gets a hold of and then Biff takes the DeLorean time machine for a quick spin to who knows where, it alters 1985 once again.
While Hill Valley and the McFly family is in dispair, Biff is all-powerful rich. Doc and Marty must go back to November 5, 1955 and make things right again and not run into themselves or let themselves see them.
Returning cast: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilon, Casey Siemaszko, Jeffrey J. Cohen, Billy Zane, Buck Flower.
Also in the cast: Elisabeth Shue, Charles Fleischer, Darlene Vogel, Jason Scott Lee, Elijah Wood, Flea, James Ishida.
Running Time: 1:47 Rated PG
________________________________________________________________
BACK TO THE FUTURE, PART III (1990)
When lightning struck the DeLorean time machine, it disappeared, but now that 1955 and 1985 have been corrected, Marty is still stuck in 1955 and a 70 year old letter delivered by Western Union to Marty says Doc is now in the Old West 1885.
Not to worry, the DeLorean has been in an old mining tunnel for 70 days waiting for 1985 Marty and 1955 Doc.
Another mistake: Dr. Emmett Brown died one week after writing the letter to Marty in 1885. He was shot by "Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen".
marty goes back to the Old West, Hill Valley, September 2, 1885, to try and bring back 1985 Doc, so he can exsist in the future.
Marty meets his ancestors, the McFly's in the Old West.
Returning Cast: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. Wilson, James Tolkan, Marc McClure, Wendie Jo Sperber, Flea, ZZ Top.
Also in the cast: Mary Steenburgen, Matt Clark, Richard Dysart, Pat Buttram, Harry Carrey Jr, Dub Taylor.
Running Time: 1 hr. 58 min. Rated PG.
