Review: Back to the Future (1985)
> Back to the Future was a fun watch. I am glad I finally got to see the source material for all those memes that I have seen over the years. I very much enjoyed the 80s rock and roll music in this movie, it was a bit nostalgic to hear Huey Lewis and I found myself listening to Sports again after I watched this movie. Yeah, that album still holds up.

@aescling Ah man i loved this movie to pieces in high school. There is such a high level of craftsmanship in the filmmaking despite the story being mere entertainment which I appreciated dearly at the time. The script is razor-sharp, not a moment is wasted.
I have been curious to rewatch this one because there are many troubling elements in the film, things that would bother me a lot more now than they did at the time. Like Marty's dad being a peeping Tom who gets the girl at the end, or the joke that implies that Marty invented rock and roll, which is tasteless in light of the way rock and roll was appropriated in popular culture. I'm curious how I'd still feel about the movie despite these things
