Marty McFly: Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don't have enough road to get up to 88.

Dr. Emmett Brown: Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads.

This movie, I think, would be classified as a classic. It's a science fiction movie but with a twist; it's a comedy. Funny science fiction movies back then were just coming out and in their prime. I think that people really enjoyed this movie because it had the "science fiction" element to it without feeling like it totally was "science fiction." People watch this movie and don't realize they are watching a sci-fi film! Back To The Future was a success because, besides the great ensemble of a cast, it was full of adventure. People go on a legit adventure with Doc and Marty McFly, and what's an adventure without a couple mishaps along the way; Marty McFlys mom falling for her son, encounters with Biff Tannen (your usual bully) and a scientist with a wild imagination. The movie starts out with Doc showing Marty Mcfly his "time travel machine" which is pretty much a decked out DeLoreon. All they wanted to do was test out time travel, but it wasn't that easy. Of course, something happens to ruin the unveiling of the time machine; Libyan terrorists gun down Doc but Marty escapes in the DeLoreon but one thing leads to another and Marty is sent back to the year 1955 by mistake. All this leads to Marty McFly changing his future for the better. In the beginning Marty's father was still bullied by Biff, his mother was and alcoholic and was stuck in the past but after Marty went through what he did in 1955, once he returned to the present his father was a successful author and no longer bullied by Biff, and his mother wasn't an alcoholic and was living in the now. I recommend people to what this movie because it's just an all around feel good movie!
