Why Back To The Future Should Be An All-Time Favorite

Everyone has their favorite movie; you have the classics such as Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather, and Titanic. These movies are known for being great and garnered several awards. I believe is one of the greatest of all-time is Back to the Future and there are several reasons why.


The Brilliant Screenwriting

One of my favorite things about Back to the Future is the attention to detail in the movie. Almost all of the conversations in the movie tie into another part of the movie. While they are sitting at the kitchen table at the beginning of the movie, they discuss several things that'll happen later in the movie which is very easy to miss because you just assume its filler dialogue. The screenwriting in this movie keeps you thinking and it's awesome to see it all tie together as the movie goes along.

The Amazing Acting of Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown

If you do not get a kick out of watching Doc in Back to the Future, I would question your sense of humor because his character is hilarious. He's always in character even when it's not a scene focused on him. The little things that Lloyd does like roaming in the background, shooting quirky smiles or mixed grins make him such a complete character. Doc is your typical nutty scientist during his time on screen, he constantly keeping you smiling and laughing with his silly contraptions or when he talks to a picture of Thomas Edison for advice.

Marty McFly

The amazing job Christopher Lloyd did playing Doc Brown is one-upped in this movie by the acting job of Michael J. Fox does playing Marty. The only Academy Award this movie won was Best Sound Editing, and neither Fox nor Lloyd was nominated for an award for their impeccable acting performances in this movie. Marty is a protagonist that you want to root for. Is there anything this guy can't do? He's able to defeat Biff in front of City-Hall while riding a two by four with wheels on it. Every time you think he is trouble, he finds his way out of it. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd play so well together in this movie, they seem to have a real bond that makes their characters gel so well with one another.

The movie has a time-traveling DeLorean!

If none of my above points are enough to want to watch and appreciate this movie, this should be. It has a DeLorean that time travels!

P.S. If you watch this movie and enjoy it as much as me....There are two more!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
