Here's a terrifying thing: the time between today and the release of Back To The Future in 1985 is longer than the amount of time Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) had to reverse in order to return to the small town America of the 1950s.
Back to the Future is arguably the ultimate American blockbuster, a mix of comedy and adventure with a strong dose of nostalgia – although not everybody liked that latter part; legendary critic Pauline Kael slammed its "willing complicity in the continuing glorification of the '50s". She had a point, but the movie remains beloved for its central storyline and a winning performance by Fox, one of America's favorite actors. Although it spawned sequels the original is by far the best in the series, which is why we rate among the best Netflix movies.
