Synopsis

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.

Anyone making a spoiler-free case for Back to the Future? The poster has done its part, now I need the pitch.

Grainne, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

Back to the Future is one I am weighing up. This is the sort of choice I might miss without someone putting it forward.

Eimear, same question here. A quick note on the pace would help me make up my mind.

For anyone considering Back to the Future: Leaving a boost while I decide. The hard bit is narrowing the list down to just one.
