Movie Review: Back to the Future

[yesthattom]

I hadn’t seen B2TF since it was in the theaters in 1985. I was in highschool. quietchris and I watched it on DVD last night. Wow! It was fantastic... just as good as it was back then. In fact, it was better the second time because you see how many of the parts connect in ways that you wouldn’t realize the first time.

I wonder if the reason it was such a boxoffice success was that it has a “want to see it twice” factor built-in. And now I wonder that as Hollywood gets more desperate for every last dollar, would they include elements like that in every movie in a vain attempt to get people to see every movie twice. (Or maybe they have, and that’s why DVD sales are so strong.)

When Part III came out, I saw all of them back-to-back in the theatre. It was suddenly a single film. Of course, the first part stands out by itself and is the best. But, it's also not bad watching all three parts together.
