This irresistible combination of dazzling effects and sly comedy propelled Michael J Fox to stardom and Robert Zemeckis to the front rank of Hollywood directors. And time has not robbed it of any of its vitality. Fox plays the young student who travels back in time to the 1950s and acts as matchmaker for his future parents, who are showing no signs of falling in love. It's beautifully played by the cast (honourable mentions to Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Crispin Glover), and makes the most of an ingenious script from Bob Gale and Zemeckis that finds time to poke fun at 50s icons and lifestyles between the bouts of time travelling. Zemeckis's direction is equally adroit and he never lets the effects swamp the film.

Simply a TIME honored classic
Where do you start when trying to review a film of this much class. Maybe by saying that if you havent seen this film, then where have you been for the last 2 decades! I defy anyone, of any age, to watch this film and not press the eject button without a smile on there face. (No matter how many times you?ve seen it!!!!) The film is almost twenty years old, but it still looks as fresh as it did back in 1985.
If you havent seen this film, then press the 'ADD' button straight away. If you have seen it still press the 'ADD' button straight away, you cant watch this movie too many times. -

80's classic blockbuster
Introduced this to my kids for the first time (they're 13 and 8).
Although the film is set in the 80s and 50s, they were completely absorbed and totally loved it.
Perfect cross-over movie for pre-teens and teenagers.
Worked well as a nostalgic viewing for me too.
Hugely enjoyable family flick if watched for first time or after a very long time.
Combines science fiction, period setting, comedy and dating. Great combination - easy to see why this remains much loved. Snuggle down and enjoy. -
