Rating:  - Still great, but getting a little dated
I loved these films when they first came out and my wife and I recently bought the set to watch again. They are still great films, but wow, it is easy to see how far films have progressed in the special effects areas when you watch a film even just a couple of decades old like these. Plus, some of the humor was time period specific and not quite on target today. Nonetheless, still very funny, well written, and entertaining.

(Spoilers Throughout!)
BACK TO THE FUTURE was the instant smash-hit of 1985. It still is magical today. Marty McFly discovers that old Doc Brown has invented a time machine! Marty travels back in time to escape the shooters who killed Doc, but while in 1955, he interferes with his parents' romance, putting himself in danger. He then tries to alter the past to get his parents to meet, and save Doc's life.
BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II wasn't recieved well by critics and audiences. Sure, it's not as good as the first, but is a well-worthy sequel. Marty and Doc travel to 2015 where 1955 bully Biff Tannen is old. He temporarily steals the time machine and gives his younger self a book of future sports statistics. Young Biff then becomes rich, and when Marty and Doc return to present-day 1985, it's hell on Earth. They must travel back to 1955 and get the book from young Biff!
BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 3 picks up right where II's cliff-hanger left off. 1955 Doc Brown helps Marty travel to 1855, where Doc was stranded. Marty assumes the identity of Clint Eastwood and tries to get the infatuated Doc back to the future, instead of staying in the Old West with school teacher Clara Clayton. Great conclusion!
The trilogy DVD is great, with all three movies and awesome bonus features. All movies are great and are worth owning. The plot is mind-blowing and will leave you wondering HOW'D HE DO THAT? All these movies are Amazon.com Essential Videos, and with good reason. Highly, highly, highly reccommended!

This is such a great movie set. I grew up watching Michael J. Fox in all three Back to the Future movies and to be able to get them in an affordable box set like this is wonderful. They movies have a little bit of everything from the wild west, the 50's, romance, futuristic sci-fi, and the great 80's. My husband and I sat down and watched all three in a row on our movie night! It is a definite must have to any movie collection.
Rating: - Back to the past!
I love this series! I remember when my parents wanted to rent the first one. I was about 10 and looked at it like, "what is this? I don't want to see this." But they rented it anyway, and I LOVED it!
The DVD editions are good. There's also a widescreen version. All three discs have great "making of" bonus features and deleted scenes. Fun because it makes the movies new again! I finally bought the set this year, and LOVED watching them again. Glad I finally own this!
