Great review as always.
Ps. Did you ever review Stand by me?
My mind exploded when it saw Christopher Lloyd acting serious
great retrospectives,,, yur the man man
Popping in my b2f trilogy vhs tapes served as a therapeutic escape from the ghetto as a child. The b2f musical themes provide nostalgic warmth until this very day!!

In film school we had an entire class dedicated to the perfection of this movie. Not a single scene wasted, not a single shot wasted. Everything shown and heard progresses the story in some way.
almost perfect... I noticed theres a damn continuity error at the last minute or 2 with a cup FU$%&^%$$&^$&^$&$!!!!!!!
Joseph Vincent It warms my heart to know somewhere out there people appreciate true art. ❤️❤️❤️👍🙏
Joe V. Glad to see you here. Your Pat's videos are the best!
Well, I thought they could've shown Marty in School, in 1955, some More; like How did He get Enrolled in 1955 School so Quickly!
@ I guess, but it was NEVER clearly Established in the Film.....
This is a movie you don’t remake. It’s a masterpiece.
That's true. First of all you can't re-create the magic, second no one can make it as good, let alone better. It would be a farce.
Yes another movie should never ever be redone is Fast Times at Ridgemont High!!!
I was 20 years old in 1985 when the Back To The Future trilogy started. I have seen all three films countless times and I never get tired of them. One of the greatest film trilogies ever made.
I was 22. Ditto.

I was 25.
For a trilogy that was unplanned (as 2 and 3 weren’t even considered when they made the original) it’s one of the best trilogies that I’ve ever seen!
I've often heard people question why Marty's parents don't recognise him at the end of the movie or wonder why he looks so much like Calvin but I challenge anyone to remember the facial features of someone you knew for only one week 30 years ago.
Tugg Speedman Yeah, I'm 30 now and can barely remember the faces of people I went to school with and that was only 14 years ago.
It's possible that they noticed Marty may have looked like Calvin Klein from a long time ago... but Marty is still their own son, who they've known since he was born, so there really isn't much to be suspicious about.
If they learned about Doc having a working time machine, then they'd have a major mindblown moment, but it's probably just a funny coincidence to them
+Tugg Speedman sure, but maybe not someone who had such a large impact on their lives.
bevrosity I had many teachers back in highschool who had a large impact on my life and taught me important things that have stuck with me to this day. I had classmates who I considered best friends at the time and who I saw and hung out with pretty much everyday for YEARS... Yet when I close my eyes I struggle to picture their faces. It's just the way human memory works.
Also they would never really notice because he grew up with them. So they were used to it. Not like Marty just appeared one day.
The music, the storyline, the actors, everything is perfect in this trilogy. Well at least to people who grew up with them.
I didn’t watch them till 2015 and I think they’re great movies.
The review isn’t of the trilogy.
How's this for a coincidence? When I received the notification on my phone that Oliver had uploaded this video, I was at the grocery store and 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis was playing.
James Kennedy Ha awesome timing!
Great Scott!
what a
time
to be alive
To be fair....that is a really popular song and its in rotation on pretty much every "Grocery store" playlist. Used to work in a grocery store for years and heard this song all the time.
Well, what do you know... It's the power of love.
"Back To The Future" is absolutely flawless. The script is perfect. And when I say perfect I mean PERFECT. If you study screenwriting or read some notable books on the subject you'll quickly notice that "Back To The Future"s structure is masterful. The film is one of those rare cases where everything works and fits beautifully. Zemeckis, Silvestri, Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox and Thomas Wilson. The killer team. Definitely one of the greatest films of the 80s and of all time.
Great work once again Oliver. I was very curious to hear your opinion on this film. When you uploaded your preview I was very excited. I was already very familiar with the history of the film but it was a delight to watch anyway. Definitely one of your reviews I'll go back to again and again.
Film Vibe Thanks for your feedback buddy!
The real writer is from Logan Utah.
In Logan Utah, A few miles apart:
LMC, Bluebird Restaurant, The Clock Tower Plaza and Twin Pines Condos
In the movie: DMC, Bluebird Motel, The Clock Tower and Twin Pines Mall
LMC and DMC were both owned by John Delorean.
There are more hidden things in these films that only the real writer knows. Zoom in on the head of small statue inside Marty's house when Biff is there. Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy is there. As the writer was working on A screenplay that was about Groot. Decades later the same writer finished A different screenplay and that became GOTG.
Bob Gale does not know about Groot!
You forgot Crispin Glover.
So when you mean perfect you mean minus plot holes but perfect? Got it.
@@787brx8 Lay off the crack, guy.
I LOVE the ending when Jennifer asks Marty if he's alright and he looks at his now happy parents, "everything is great." It really hits home for me as my parents divorced when I was 9 and my desire for a happy family life that I never had.
This resonates with me, i felt the same when i saw it first at that age.
If your parents stayed together that wouldn't necessarily mean you would have had a happy family life. It would just mean that they stayed together.
Mine to and everything went downhill for my mom after she left my dad thinking it was going to be better for her out there. When she got sick with cancer he stepped in to take care of her and all her appointments. I know life would have been better if they had not separated then divorced.
Give your life to Jesus Christ. You'll have a happy family in heaven. For ever.
Spaceman from Pluto? Just the fact that anyone in power would suggest that shows the incompetence of Hollywood.
^this
youreallinsane bingo, it reminds me of working on group projects in jr high and there was always that one kid who would make suggestions out of left field that were completely irrelevant to the task at hand. apparently that's the kid who grows up to be a Hollywood executive...
Just the fact you're talking about the "incompetence of Hollywood" in the comment section of a video about Back to the Future (a film produced by Hollywood) shows the incompetence of internet comment sections.
@@Jaqen-HGhar Ikr, sooo sexist. It should be called Spaceperson From Pluto (person drowning with his hands raised calling for help).
I can see Spacemen From Pluto being a 1950s B movie in black and white.
I hope this movie never gets remade. It's one of the only trilogies left that hasn't had a horrible 4th movie tacked on.
Do you practice Dudeism
Absolutely right dude. Leave it be
Agree 100%. The only non-flawless part of the movie is that we're now past 2015 and the going into the future part is actually the past for us lol
I never get tired of watching this trilogy, so damn epic.
I can still remember going to see this back in'85. The theater where I saw the film was torn down around 10 years later. However,I still have the memories. Thanks for bringing me back Mr.H!
One word for this movie : PERFECTION
This is probably the only trilogy that I ever watched where all three films were as equally good to one another. I couldn't chose a favorite out of either one if someone asked me.
The second one plays around with the idea of perspective and the third one was a good western movie about a man out of time
I feel the same way about this trilogy and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I wonder how those trilogies would have turned out had Zemeckis directed LOTR and Jackson had directed BTTF.
They might be all good, and I seen them. For me though, I only need the first.
If Hollywood decides BTTF needs a "reboot", I hope they also expect it to make a heavy loss because nobody wants it, nobody needs it and there is nothing about the original that can be improved with copious CGI, over the top "action" or the incessant injection of identity politics that has ruined other classics.
wow. a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Not a rebboot but a cinematic universe
Bob zemekis owns the rights to the movie and says he will never let it be remade.he also had it put in his will that his family can never remake it after his death.so most likely it will never happen
Your 300th video dude, congrats!!!
When you mentioned the thought of this movie being remade i threw up in my mouth..
Anacronian Don't worry Robert Zemeckis owns the rights to the film and has stated he'll never allow a remake to be done. And he wants to ensure after he dies the rights stay within his family so they'll make sure a remake is never made.
Anacronian "Over my dead body" Robert Zemeckis.
www.telegraph.co.uk/film/back-to-the-future/remake-sequel-robert-zemeckis/
MarsGundam If this is true....THANK GOD!!
+Anacronian funny you mention that. 5 years ago there was word on the wire that a studio wanted to remake the movie with Marty McFly being played by Justin Bieber. I could not make this up even if I tried. Just google or bing it and the stories are there
+MJ Knight
It's all largely been fan-wishing, though I love that Zemeckis and Gale hold the keys to how the series continues in any form.
I couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this movie. The VHS tape we had it recorded on actually turned BLUE after a while. When have you ever seen that?! Every time this movie gets a theatrical re-release I'm there. Three times in the theatre, and I hope for many, many more! This was a fantastic retrospective, and well worth the wait. This is the absolute favorite film of one of my friends, and I will be sharing this with him shortly. He's met Chris Lloyd at a 35MM screening five years ago, went out to California for a full-on BTTF celebration, and so much more. He's gonna love this!
The recent TellTale game will be discussed when I review Part 2 later this year.
Oliver Harper Why didn't you mention the new game that came out several years ago? I heard it was really good. The voice actor for Marty sounds exactly like Michael Fox.
I was looking for part 2, I guess I'll watch part 3 now😕
Would love if you could review time bandits
daustin8888 He doesn't review enough current films.
These are so well edited and researched! Thank you so much for making these!
Derek White Thanks Derek!
One of the few movies I'd call flawless.
Clint Dlowrev definitely which made it quite hard to critique because its so perfect.
Clint Dlowrev The pacing is what really stands out to me. Not one frame of the film is boring, it's always moving forward.
"Back to the Future," "Ghostbusters" and "Gremlins" form a loose trilogy that represents the very best of the decade's essence in film. There might be a few better films that came out in the '80s but none that are all so uniquely of their time while also transcending it. - This is one of your very best reviews, Oliver. Like many others here I absolutely love this film. And while I love the sequels as well this one is clearly the best.
Xenu I'd swap Gremlins for Goonies, but otherwise yeah :)
Xenu Can't forget the John Hughes series of comedies
There are tons of 80's movies that are awesome.
The Thing - June 1982
The Terminator - Oct 1984
Robocop - July 1987
The Goonies - June 1985
ET - June 1982 (I personally hate this movie but most love it so I will include it for that sake)
Blade Runner - June 1982
Aliens - July 1986
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzi Across The 8th Dimenson - August 1985
I can name dozens more easily
+Pixar The Great Blade Runner didn't get fully realised until recently. And how the hell does one hate E.T. Hate is a strong word.
Pixar The Great
°_° { Well. That was Dark. But alright.)
But don't forget about the Indiana Jones Movies. They are 80s. So is ESB.
Oliver Harper I'm excited to say that I'm gonna reveal my biggest 10+ year old secret ever since this is BTTF's 30th Anniversary. Here we go: I watched BTTF for the first time by ACCIDENT! Don't believe me....let's travel back in time to 2003. As I was almost 7 years old at the time, originally, my aunt was suppose to give me a VHS copy of Casper (1995). Before I left my aunt's house I opened the Casper VHS box, in order that the movie was inside. But I realized that inside the box was an old 1985 VHS copy of Back to the Future. I was curious to ask my aunt, "Where's Casper?" My aunt told me that the tape might've been lost or something and prefers taking BTTF instead. As soon as I got home, I began to pop in the tape, sit on the floor of my living room and witnessing almost 2 hours of pure creativity and magic that is Marty and Doc. The next day in Kindergarten, all I can think about is drawing a DeLorean and recreating the climatic Clocktower sequence. Some of my colleagues really don't know what the heck I was doing, nor had any idea what I was talking about. That same year, I rode Back to the Future: The Ride for the first time at Universal Studios Florida. Both my father and I could agree that it was the best ride of the whole resort. We even rode it during the final months of operation in 2006, not just as fans, but as father and son (it was also the best moment I had with my father, in a long time). Overall, I'm proud that I'm a BTTF fan by accident, because any little slip up throughout your lifetime could have a major impact in the future. Some in a very good way. Like Doc used say:
"Your Future is whatever you make it, to make it a good one!"
#BTTFFanForLife
#BTTF30
Back to the Future is my favourite movie of all time!
Fascinating stuff, Oliver, great job! On a sidenote, one of my favourite moments of BTTF is the look Doc gives Marty when they first meet up at the mall and the way he says "Marty!". That one look and word hint at the great friendship those two must've had.
I met Thomas Wilson at a sci-fi con one year back in the late 90s, and he was every bit the kindest, most courteous guy you could ever hope to meet. He was gracious and funny, telling jokes and silly stories about things that happened on the set of all three movies. He had a crowd of us around him five, six people-deep. We were just rolling on the floor laughing. He said: "This is why I come to these conventions, cuz we have the best fans anywhere. You guys are the best." He really was the highlight of the convention for me.
Referencing the hug between Doc and Marty, of course it's about friendship, but we're also cognizant of that which Marty is struggling with. The knowledge that Doc was murdered just before Marty's trip back through time, and Marty's attempts to warn Doc of his impending death. It seems Doc is intent on adhering to his principles, and not using knowledge of the future which might save his life, and Marty is just torn apart by this.
Very rarely do I say that a film is "perfect" but it's impossible to find a flaw in BACK TO THE FUTURE. It manages to blend science-fiction, humor, adventure, and romance while retaining a sense of childlike wonder. This is a film that any generation can come back to and enjoy. Another great review in the books, Ollie!
I'm designer and when I show early ideas and rough sketches to my clients, I like to quote Doc Brown:
"Please excuse the crudity of this model, I didn't have time to build it to scale or to paint it".
You are without doubt the best reviewer on YT. Great work.
Oliver cracking retrospective of this timeless 80s classic.
That Town Square scene in Back to the Future was shot at Universal Studios. I remember seeing that location during the tour of Universal Studios Hollywood.
Thankfully we aren't gonna get a remake or reboot anytime soon.
Back To The Future def played a huge part in the skateboarding craze during the mid to late 80's every kid had to have one including myself.
Congrats on 25,000+ subs and a another classic R/R mate.
***** Thank you very much buddy!. I got a skateboard as a kid and wanted to be Marty but failed miserably. I could never stay on a skateboard for less than 5 seconds. Totally useless lol
History would be so different if the film was called Spaceman From Pluto or if they stuck with Eric Stoltz.
I wonder if there's some alternate universe where these versions of the movie exist...
One guy wanted that title and everyone, including Stoltz, agreed it wasn’t working out, so neither would have ever materialized. Different though, yeah, for sure…
It's a rare example of a perfect film. Nothing is mentioned that isn't tied up later; there's no unnecessary exposition, there's no fat, it's acted, framed and shot exactly. The score is tremendous. It is perfect.
Can I just say, the tributes you make at the start of these videos are great. This one is my favourite.
You got an amazing way of structuring your videos, this is one of your best. Super important video reviewing a super important movie
Thanks dude!
I have to say Back to the Future truly has that magical spark. I've shown my niece and nephew all the "classics" from my time. Most, like Star Wars and Raiders, my nephew enjoyed but my niece wanted no part of, others, like E.T. or Goonies that I swore would bowl them over actually did the opposite and they pretty much hated (which was blasphemy to my ears!) but Back to the Future not only hooked to both of them, it has become one of the most rewatched films in their library- and not just the original. They watch the 3rd one nearly as often and though they aren't as jazzed about part 2, they certainly have sat through it several times. And I'm talking of all the films including Jurassic Park, Gremlins, and even more modern things like Harry Potter!! That's impressive, when a film is able to reach kids today as strongly as it reached us in our day...
Great video, Oliver. I was kinda hoping you'd bring up Secret Cinema's Back to the Future event where they recreated the entire Hill Valley set which you could walk around and interact in. I bought my girlfriend and I tickets to go for her Birthday and it's without a doubt the most fun I've had in one evening. We dressed up in 50s gear, were able to free roam around the square, hung out at the cafe (they did excellent chips), went into the shops, they had actors recreating sequences in the actual locations, watched the movie projected onto the clock tower and danced in the school hall with the jazz band afterwards. It was a brilliant experience and one I feel honored to have taken part it. Just thought I'd share that. Back to the Future is a classic and, as always, you did good justice to it in this video. Keep up the awesome work, mate!
Unfortunately the set was taken down shortly after it ended. But Secret Cinema do movie escapist events every year I believe, so it's worth looking them up :)
I went on a binge watching your videos this year and when I saw your advertisement for the retrospective of back to the future, I was in shock and said "wow, he didn't do back to the future". Great retrospective as always. I didn't see back to the future until I was about 20(I'm about to turn 30) and I'm so sad that I didn't see it earlier(my dad said he didn't like the film, so it wasn't in our collection) but I'm so glad I have it in my collection now and still return to it every year 😃
God, I love everything about this movie... the story, the music, the characters, the actors, the hidden Easter eggs. Layers, upon layers, upon layers. It’s truly beautiful.
Actually, Doc said in the deleted scene "Why shouldn't you be happy?" It refers to how the word "gay" didn't really mean "homosexual" back then.
He explained that it didn't seem like something Marty would worry about, not the homonym itself.
GameStation3 True 'Gay' meant happy back then. But as Kev said its not something Marty would say and if left in it would've messed up its tone. The director said getting the tone right of the movie was very difficult.
GameStation3 That was the joke. "Gay" DID mean homosexual in 1985. It was the 50s when it mean "happy".
Tornado1994
I knew that.
2019 : still a masterpiece
My absolute favorite movie of all time. Your review did it justice excellent work man!
This movie and the original Ghostbusters are still my #1 favorite films!
A couple of things to say:
1- you are really becoming a confident and entusiastic narrator
2- there are some really nifty editing bits in here. Very inspired.
3- this is as far your best Retrospective video. Keep it up, bro!
A stone-cold classic. When you see people making excuses for mediocre blockbuster movies nowadays, they always say "What do you expect? They're just big dumb popcorn movies", it always makes me sad.
Films like this, Ghostbusters, Jaws etc. WERE the popcorn movies of the past. Being a blockbuster popcorn flick is no excuse when you see just how better crafted BTTF is in comparison to the likes of the Transformers films.
I've seen a video on theories about the movie which make it so much more interesting. Like the idea that his parents actually did realize it was him but kept it to themselves being thankful that they ended up in a better situation.
Back to the Future is also one of my top 15 favorite movies of all time.
Top 10!
Once again a well made retrospective.thank you for doing maybe my all time favorite movie.justice.its absolutely ludicrous that you don't have way more views.your one of the best on UA-cam imo.
I’ve been listening to all your retrospectives in work through my headphones, brilliant I’m a big fan of them all. Love Back To The Future, best ever trilogy in my opinion.
Another great review Oliver!! Like many this film has a special place in my memories. I remember seeing it in the theatres when I was 11 and walking out of the movie wishing it never ended!
This franchise truly holds a special place in my heart, due to it being the main thing that got me into time travel as a kid. As much as I love Doctor Who, I only got into it once I was 10 years old, but Back to the Future I first saw before I can even remember.
I remember watching the trilogy again with a group of people who haven't seen it before and having a great time. I was disappointed though when someone else who I just watched it for the first time said they were disappointed by it. We both agreed that the reason for this was probably because that he was already familiar with all the tropes done in the movie. It's a shame
Don't feel bad Oliver, I want a Delorean too. Got to drive in one once...
Such a damn good job! "Should I swear?"
"Goddammit George Swear!!"
the 1980's, the decade everybody wants to go back to :p
This is the ultimate trilogy. I watch them every year and i do not get tired of it! The greatest movies in my opinion when it comes to ''pure entertainment''. You just get so sucked in on the adventures Marty and Doc have!
First movie is basically flawless. Perfect casting, an airtight script, modest but great-looking effects. We introduced our son to these movies and he loves them.
We talk about all of that in our UA-cam episode, which we recorded during a windstorm that caused brief blackouts during the recording.
The editing in this review is superb, you use of music and the cuts between sections of the movie that correlate to each other was marvelous. Well done!
Hi Oliver, just wanted to say...... I've been a subscriber to your channel for about a year now and I really enjoy your videos. Your presentation and editing make them very easy to watch and what you end up putting out there is really professional looking (and sounding actually). You give a great insight into each one, from the dates and budget for the production right through to the score, character and actor profiles and always a great plot synopsis but without any spoilers. IMO, you should be on TV with this - I honestly think that not only are you good enough, but it would also be something new for TV. There are plenty of review shows out there for current and soon to be released films, but I've never seen anyone do retrospective reviews - encouraging people to re-visit older classics or even discover them for the first time. (BTW, I know you also do your commentaries, new trailer reviews, new film reviews, bits of movie news - as well your gaming stuff) - which are all great, but it's the retrospectives that really stand out for me. Anyway, keep up the good work and I look forward to your next upload. Cheers from just down the road from you in Peterborough, Cambs
Speilberg got the executive to back down on the "Spacemen from Pluto" title by sending him a memo telling him how hilarious everyone thought his "joke title" was. The executive was too embarrassed to admit he was serious.
Ollie, this might be your best retrospective yet. Well done!
There is an amazing about of brilliant work gone into this retrospective,a real labour of love putting this together,by the look of it all.
I always loved the high school dance -Marty inadvertently invents rock n' roll and Metal with Johnny B Good's swinging,fired up blues finally igniting and soundtracking the lives of new 50's teenagehood,only to leave them dumbfounded with hotwired fretboard annihilation,reckless onstage abandonment, and near equipment destruction,via Van Halen and The Who. The stunned look on the guy in the band's face as he watches Marty play the guitar behind his head is priceless. It will always made me laugh!
Everything you said about the movie is right on the money-another "Back of the Net!" retrospective from you. Awesomely edited montage for the final coupla minutes,too. Excellent.
Oliver, the composition and execution of this review is as perfect as the film itself, great job.
I particularly liked your timing of at the end with the opening to 'Back in Time' and Gerorge KO-ing Biff.
A very slick effort.
Oliver’s reviews are SO well done, they deserve an award
Awesome retrospective for my all time favorite movie. I think I've watched this movie 100 times when I was younger. Everything about this movie from the story, memorable and quotable dialogue, actors, and music all came together to make one of the most perfect timeless movies ever made. People who love this movie should go buy the dvd/bluray and watch the behind the scenes, commentary, and other fun facts behind the movie. For instance, Einstein the dog was originally supposed to be a monkey and Biff Tannen was named after a Universal Pictures executive.
I love watching your reviews, sir. I think it's awesome how you include not only the movie review, but also the retrospect on the soundtrack and video game versions of all these films. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
Been watching your videos for a long time now Ollie and I must say that this is one of your best!
Oliver your retrospectives are absolutely fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Your editing is spotless. I really enjoyed watching this Restrospect.
If I can sum up Back to the Future in one word, it would be: timeless.
I did think that seemed a little odd that George & Lorraine didn't question how Marty looked strikingly the same as the kid who got the two of them together back in 1955. But, that would be just picking at straws at the stage of the film and it's best left alone.
As you rightly said; it's been 30 years since the release and it has not aged one bit. It's also touched so many lives as it shown in the Netflix documentary Back In Time. I don't have a bad word for this movie. It's a Masterpiece
Back to the Future........a masterpiece of entertainment
Really love your videos and when I heard you where doing Back to the Future I was very excited. Great job man, Back to the Future has been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember. You're review did this film justice and makes me want to sit down and watch it again for the umpteenth time. Thank you Sir.
we love you Olie! My absolute favorite. I was on the verge to cry the whole time I watched the retrospective
Grade: A+
Rating: 10/10
Percentage: 100%
This movie is a classic and one of my favorite movies ever made! Every line, detail, and joke matters and is paid off in the end. The characters and performances are all likable! It is outstanding! I FREAKING love this movie! It's funny, complex, well made, and entertaining! It's everything you could ask for in an 80s comedy classic! It is one the few movies I would include perfect and flawless!
Great retrospective Oliver! Love this film. One of my all time favorites
This film is an absolute masterclass in smart, talented film plotting. Everything is set up clearly and cleanly. Every character, even minor ones, are used well and clearly-defined. And it's all done in a such a fun, creative way nothing feels like exposition or condescending. It trusts the audience to keep up with its peppy pacing.
You make fantastic reviews. Just thought I'd let you know.
+C Dun Very kind of you!
Your retrospectives are so good, they hit me in the feels so hard. Thank you.
Ollie, with all these retrospectives and reviews, you gotta teach us how to make a good movie for us amateur/inexperienced up and comers.
I was 13 when the movie came out. I already had that purple paint splattered Valterra skateboard, lost my mind when I when I saw this in the theater and Marty was ripping the same setup. It only watching your retrospective that I’m realizing how important this was to me. Thank you
Fantastic retrospective Oliver Harper I literally wore out the VHS tape I had as a kid as i watched it over and over! Watching it in HD in 2015 really makes you appreciate just what a fanatic film this is! A massive part of my childhood growing up. Thanks so much for doing this! Finally had chance to sit down and stream it to my big tele :-)
Thanks again for another great review. It's always nice to hear someone articulate exactly what made us adore the material in the first place.
Hey Oliver, I love watching your in depth reviews of classic movies. I want to thank you for doing this review of my favorite movie of all time or franchise. Keep doing an awesome job!
PERFECTPIIITCH Thanks a lot buddy!
Back To The Future is probably my favourite film ever made and that is no exaggeration, the movie as got everything to make it a classic. It's got sci fi, comedy, drama, romance, great casting, writing... list goes on. It's probably the movie I've watched the most. The film I think inspired many and makes everything look great about the 80's. I confess years when I'm in a performing arts group, I always suggest doing a stage version of Back To The Future and of course hoping to play Marty myself. Sadly these suggestions always seem to get ignored. Anyway it's a timeless classic and If they dared attempting to remake this, then I could it spanning into a massive protest among fans. I was get prepared for an announcement of a forth movie, you just know in the back of your mind and some point the studio will milk on the idea of the success of this franchise.
I always love the editing of Oliver.
Back to the Future is been around for 30 years and it remained with us BTTF fans for the rest of our lives. it spawned two sequels, the Video Game series, The Cartoon series, the BTTF ride and the comic book series. in Doc's words in BTTF part III, "The Future hasn't been written yet, the future is whenever we make it, to make a good one."
Jesus Christ, Doc! You built a Time Machine?! Out of a DeLorean?!
Great video and for me one of the greatest movies of all time and although parts 2 and 3 get mixed reviews these days, i still consider it one of my favourite trilogys
This is the one I've been waiting for
My all time favourite film x love this retrospective. ...currently ploughing through all your videos. ..fantastic work!
Karate Kid, The Goonies and Back to the Future are my favourite 3 movies from the 80s
It blows my mind that 1985 is further in the past than Marty travelled in the movie.
Is it strange that I hit the like button before watching the video? :) This is serious one of my favorite movies of all-time and your retrospective was spot on. Great work on the video. I've really enjoyed watching your videos since discovering your channel earlier this year.
After i saw your Review of Back to the future i went to the movie store to pick it up for the weekend and i loved it. Thank you Oliver for Reviewing this film, because of you i found a movie trilogy that i love so much and hold vary closely to my hart. Thank you Oliver thank you!
I can't thank my own mother for introducing me and my brother to this Trilogy, I own the DVD releases twice and a Delorean toy made by Corgi
What an odd coincidence! I own a Corgi made by DeLorean.
One of my all time favorites, I've seen it so many times as a kid and will see it many more times. Great review/retrospective!
Your reviews are always a pleasure to watch👍
I like how Doc Brown tears up Marty's letter but puts it in his pocket instead of throwing it away, which foreshadows the ending where we see him take out the letter in 1985 in his pocket taped up.
Amazing, amazing review. Back to thefuture, my favorite trilogy. Waiting for the review of Part II.
Great job with the review! Frankly, I can't picture any one in the main role, other than Michael J. Fox.
