Back to the Future

Outstanding. Doesn't matter in which decade you decided to 'go back', timeless (ha ha).

Plot: Marty McFly (Michael J.Fox) is a high school failure, dating a hot girl, playing his guitar and generally dreaming of a better life. Turns out, his rather odd buddy 'Doc' (Christopher Lloyd)- a mad scientist, has invented a time travel device and decided to embed it inside the star car of the 1980's, a silver, gull-wing DeLorean (soon to die a death as a company). While test driving the machine in the local mall parking lot, the terrorists that Doc stole the Plutonium from (because, as you all know, time travel is dependent on Plutonium-duh) turn up and start firing. Doc's dead and Marty has to escape. Jumping in the car and accelerating, Marty reaches optimum speed (88mph) and he's gone in a blaze of lightning. Where has Marty gone? How will he get back? Watch and discover the joy that is Back to the Future.

Yes, I know you've all seen it (a lot), but see it again, then watch the second (Hover-boards, awesome!) and skip through most of the third.

Budget: $19,000,000

Gross: $383,874,862

Fun Fact: Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly, but after looking at the footage the powers that be (Spielberg and Zemekis) realised he 'sucked' and reworked Fox's schedule and got their man. To his credit, Stoltz agreed he'd be miscast.
