Back to the Future

Skateboarding, time-traveling DeLoreans, and Nike sneakers, this movie thought of everything! Robert Zemeckis steps up to bat with his first big hit Back to the Future, which follows the misadventures of Marty McFly in 1955 thanks to Doc’s time machine. Things get weird for Marty when his very existence is at risk by accidentally forming a love triangle… with his parents. What follows is a bully beat-down, weird parental scenarios, and some rocking Johnny B. Goode.
