Amazon.com essential video:
Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis topped his breakaway hit Romancing the Stone with Back to the Future, a 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. --Doug Thomas
Critics and audiences didn't seem too happy with Back to the Future, Part II, the inventive, perhaps too clever sequel. Director Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Marty watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh
Shot back-to-back with the second chapter in the trilogy, Back to the Future, Part III is less hectic than that film and has the same sweet spirit of the first, albeit in a whole new setting. This time, Marty ends up in the Old West of 1885, trying to prevent the death of mad scientist Christopher Lloyd at the hands of gunman Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson, who had a recurring role as the bully Biff). Director Zemeckis successfully blends exciting special effects with the traditions of a Western and comes up with something original and fun. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Drowning in nostalgia
I was 12 years old when the first "BTF" came out and I can remember being so fascinated! All three of the movies are great, clean entertainment that challenges young minds to really understand the impact of their existence at any random moment in time. 23 years later, I'm even more fascinated today to watch my son enjoy these movies and ask a lot of those "proverbial" questions. What a great concept and so well done by one of the most incredible geniouses (sp? Sorry, Mr. Spielberg!) of our time. ... Read More
Rating: - Awesome Set
this set contains three of michael j. foxx's & Christopher Lloyd's greates movies they made. the three back to the future movies are entertaining beyond anything. they all are great movies. they all are must sees.
Rating: - Great Trilogy and NOTHING wrong with it!
The Back to the Future trilogy is GREAT! I bought it a year ago and it is outstanding. I don't see how other reviewers could criticize this trilogy because there is NOTHING wrong with mine. The "widescreen" isn't off the page or anything. The trilogy is just like any other. As for the actual movies, they're amazing. Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies. (especially when I like the idea of time travel) The delorean is what really brings out all the movies. As for others, I definately recommend ... Read More
Rating:  - Good movies, but not mandatory viewing.
A decent way to kill a few hours.
The back to the future movies have not aged well.
Corny, the usual 80's nonsense.
Their OK, if you've never seen them before.
I'd say worth the ocassional rental.
Will these movies be remembered a hundred years from now?
The car might be, but the movies? Doubt it.
Good movies for kids.
Rating: - Future is in your hands
This a all time favourite movie of mine. The story across the 3 DVD is nicely knitted together wanting one to have a back to the future movie marathon. The direction, cast and everything about this movies is great! I would highly recommend science fiction lovers to watch this movie and also to acquire a DVD set.
