Profile of Back to the Future
The mood of Back to the Future is sentimental, exciting, and humorous. The plot centers around misfit partners, changing the past or future, and time travel. It is a comedy, adventure, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, Back to the Future has a Hollywood tone. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. The pacing is fast. Back to the Future takes place, at least partly, at a high school. It happens in the 1950s and in the 1980s. Visually, it involves special effects. Back to the Future is known for being a modern classic, a blockbuster, and an award winner. It is especially suggested for a family outing, a date night, and teens.
Summary of Back to the Future
A fast-moving and heart-warming comedy, Back to the Future is Robert Zemeckis' well-loved 1980s classic. It is the story of a teenager from 1985 who commandeers the time-traveling DeLorean invented by a wacky scientist friend, and is accidentally sent back in time to the 1950s. But the real problems start after he inadvertently disrupts the first meeting between his future parents--and his mom ends up falling for him instead. Eliciting help from the inventor of the time-machine (who is now thirty years younger), the young man must untangle the reverse Oedipal knot he's created, or he will never be born. If he can't influence them to fall in love, he might never exist! And if he somehow manages to succeed, he must then find a way to get "back to the future."

25 years has passed and I still feel it is one of the best. Combines good humor, nice plot, playing with time and space. I would love to see a new movie liek that.

10/10Must See
It's hard not to love Back to the Future. Comedy, sci-fi, action, romance, and almost every genre you can think of have been weaved into this masterpeice. The plot is something else. It's amazing. You can tell the writers put their hearts and souls...
