A masterpiece!

08/08/02
One of the most beloved movies of the Eighties.
03/10/03
It's undeniably formulaic but so outstandingly executed that it vindicates the formula.
01/01/00
Amongst the finest family films of the 1980s.
05/05/08
Director Robert Zemeckis confronts the oedipal heart of the time-travel genre with this zestfully tasteless 1985 tale about a teenager (Michael J. Fox) who is projected back to 1955 and then must arrange the romance of his parents.

Top CriticShows not only a fine comic touch but also some of the lighthearted humanism of a Frank Capra.

Top CriticTalvez a fórmula para o imenso sucesso do filme seja o fato de que ele mexe com uma curiosidade que, talvez, seja universal: como eram nossos pais quando jovens?

An unqualified success, boasting an incredibly sharp screenplay and tons of appeal.
09/23/06
Equal parts hilarity, nostalgia, science fiction, screwball comedy, and white-knuckle suspense in a complex storyline wound tighter than a yo-yo in a centrifuge.
10/10/05
infectiously silly and fun time-travel comedy. Lloyd and Fox are a great team.
03/19/03
Great performances, clever concept, deft direction, lotsa laughs, and some real heart & soul. A true Popcorn Classic.

To put it bluntly: if you don't like Back To The Future, it's difficult to believe that you like films at all.
05/05/08
This is one of those movies that folds in on itself, and reveals perfect symmetry.
10/07/01
So busy being clever that it trips over its own ingenuity.
01/01/00
Top CriticA classic adventure that holds up perfectly today.
09/16/06
A hilarious romp of time travel, sentimentality and, surprisingly, some genuine suspense
