i went to the movies with my older brother and his friends and was probably 6?? when we went.
i just remember wanting to go watch it because it was about time travel which was supposedly really cool.

Yes, it's a good movie. I was 10 when it was released on July 3, 1985, saw it the following weekend in Little Rock, AR. Good stuff, especially when you're 10.

My favorite movie. I remember watching it when I was younger and then watching it again somewhat recently and there's actually so much that I didn't even pick up on the first time that I watched it. Some of the subtle remarks that weave into the story, etc.

The first one was a great great movie. There are few if any movies that are as fun to watch.

The 2nd and 3rd ones are so-so.

My favorite movie ever by far. I always wanted to "be" Marty McFly growing up. Not only is it entertaining, but I feel like it has great life lessons sprinkled throughtout the movie. "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!"

I loved the BTTF movies, they were amazing. The first one is the best, but I still enjoyed watching the others. I've seen each of them a ton of times, probably 10 times each at the very least.

The day he goes back from 1985 is my birthday... definitely made it more special to me when I was a youngin. I actually just showed it to my gfs kids for the first time and they absolutely went ape shit when the delorean flies at the end. "CAN WE WATCH THE NEXT ONE?!?!?!?" hahaha

I then explained to them how lucky they were because I had to wait YEARS for the next one to come out!

No kidding! I couldn't even tell you how many times we watched the first one, wondering WHEN it would be continued.

Awesome film and awesome trilogy. It was sci-fi, comedy, action and adventure all rolled into one.

Great, great film. The whole series is "good", but the first film is in a league of its own, imo. Great music, characters, humor, exciting situations, history/nostalgia, etc. So many things to smile about when you watch this film.

First one was the best, but I love the way they integrated scenes from the first one in Part II's 1955. Very well written movies. I'm actually shocked that none of the ATOT pop culture haters have voted "nay" yet. There's always someone who hates anything that's popular.

It's my favorite film of all time. Kind of went downhill after that, but the third one had a fun western theme.
