Eighties teenager Marty McFly is accidentally sent back in time to 1955, inadvertently disrupting his parents' first meeting and attracting his mother's romantic interest. Marty must repair the damage to history by rekindling his parents' romance and - with the help of his eccentric inventor friend Doc Brown - return to 1985.
Watched this with my 10 y/o and was acutely aware of how different the whole structure is to recent films. All the “emotional pay-off” is stored up right until the very end. And that still works for me, but my 10 y/o was kicking her heels a bit.
That score, though…
★★★★
