Back to the Future

My partner had never seen Back to the Future before, so I suggested it after we saw Mallrats. Popped the blu-ray into the player and off we went to 1985… then 1955… and they really liked it! From a perspective of having seen it before and albeit not in a while, I forget how chaotic Back to the Future as a whole is. Marty’s mom is far older than any of her siblings, a solid decade at most. George had to have changed a fair amount of info for his characters in his sci-fi romance novel. The students at the Under the Sea Enchantment dance saw what must have been the greatest guitar playing of 1955 before the guy doing it just disappears and is never seen again. Just the clock tower scene near the end gets you wondering if they actually are going to do this.You really don’t have to see the other two because the first one is so great and stands on its own legs as a stand-alone film, but the other two make nice bookends. But man, the first film is so good.
