Back to the Future voted Greatest Movie of All Time

In an unscientific poll taken in the bedroom of one of “Inside Entertainment Today’s” writers, Back to the Future was voted Greatest Movie of All-Time. With 100% of the vote (with a +- 3% margin of error), Back to the Future swept the competition, including such classic movies as Citizen Kane, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and D2: The Mighty Ducks.

Back to the Future begins in 1985 and tells the story of Marty McFly, a slacker high school student whose goals in life are to be a musician and to bang his girlfriend by a lake. Marty lives in a ghetto area of town with his depressing family. His dad, George, is a cowardly man who is constantly picked on by his co-worker and former high school classmate, Biff Tannen. His mom, Lorraine, is a drinker and a prude who doesn’t like the idea of girls chasing after boys. His brother swears at the dinner table, and his sister is kind of a bitch as evidenced by her hate for taking phone messages for Marty.

Other than his girlfriend, Jennifer, Marty’s only other friend is an elderly eccentric scientist, Doctor Emmett Brown. Doc (as Marty calls him) one day asks Marty to meet him at a local mall in the middle of the night. Being as this is a sci-fi fantasy film, the late night meeting doesn’t lead to any kind of funny business.

Great Scott!

Instead, Doc shows Marty the time machine he has invented out of a DeLorean. While using the DeLorean to run from some Libyan nationalists that Doc ripped off in order to build his time machine, Marty is transported to the year 1955. There, the time machine breaks down, and Marty must get the 1955 version of Doc Brown to help him get back to the future. This mission is complicated by the fact that he ruined his parents’ first meeting, putting his future birth in jeopardy.

Back to the Future is fun, clever and hilarious. Add to that the fact that this movie was made in a time when saying “shit” twice, “asshole” once, and having an incestuous crush subplot only got you a PG rating, and you have the makings of the greatest movie of ALL TIME. So there you have it. BttF: GoAT.
