Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "future boy," who is president in the United States in 1985?
Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Who's vice president? Jerry Lewis?
Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis topped his breakaway hit Romancing the Stone with this joyous comedy with a dazzling hook: what would it be like to meet your parents in their youth? Billed as a special-effects comedy, the imaginative film (the top box-office smash of 1985) has staying power because of the heart behind Zemeckis and Bob Gale's script. High schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, during the height of his TV success) is catapulted back to the '50s where he sees his parents in their teens, and accidentally changes the history of how Mom and Dad met. Filled with the humorous ideology of the '50s, filtered through the knowledge of the '80s (actor Ronald Reagan is president, ha!), the film comes off as a Twilight Zone episode written by Preston Sturges. Filled with memorable effects and two wonderfully off-key, perfectly cast performances: Christopher Lloyd as the crazy scientist who builds the time machine (a DeLorean luxury car) and Crispin Glover as Marty's geeky dad. Followed by two sequels. --Doug Thomas

Where is this on Blu Ray?
These are great films, but I'm not spending a dime on another DVD release. These need to be re-mastered and available on Blu Ray.
Get the whole DVD set from Amazon.co.uk if u have a region free player. they have all the extra features on that one too 1 price
Amazon.co.uk has an (ultimate edition) Back to the future trilogy set that has way more features than these 3 sets combined without paying for all three dvds seperate. also the coverart is awesome. You have to have a region free dvd player to play it on though or it will not work on anything except united kingdom but it is well worth buying a region free dvd player for future movies like this. it is going for around 25.00 to 30.00 at the moment which is well worth it only if you live in the US you have to pay shipping buying from amazon.co.uk and it takes awhile longer but for the more extra features listed, I believe its worth it. Plus you dont have to worry about 3 dvd boxes. they are displayed nicely in one dvd case. 4 discs.
The greatest fantasy film OF ALL TIME.
BTTF is the greatest fantasy film of all time and now is released in an upgraded dvd with new features which is a must buy for us the BTTF fanatic fans. How i wish for a new BTTF trilogy can not be described with words...(If only marty was not sick...damn...).
