88 - "Back to the Future" (1985)

     I originally had Back to the Future ranked a few spots higher in the rankings but it just felt appropriate to put it at 88. Kudos to everyone who understands why. Once again another classic 80's movie that is just fun to watch, pure and simple. Michael J. Fox stars as Marty McFly, a pretty typical teen who travels back to 1955 via a time machine which is a plutonium-powered DeLorean created by the hyperactive scientist Doc Brown, played by Christopher Lloyd. So he can get back to the future, Marty must meet his parents in their teenage years and make sure they fall in love or he will never come to exist. There's probably a better way to describe the plot but that's the best I could come up with at the moment. It's really not as hard as it sounds to follow if you have not seen the movie yet. Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover and Thomas F. Wilson all have supporting roles in the movie and do a great job. Back to the Future spawned two fairly successful sequels but I didn't care for either of them enough to recommend alongside the original. The original is the crown jewel and is a must see if you haven't had a chance yet.
