Where do you rank Back to the Future?

[Bufkin]

Hadn't watched it since the 90's, and it was on TV tonight. I can't remember the last time I've enjoyed watching a movie so much, let alone one that I had already seen.

For me, I'm going Goodfellas, Borat, Back to the Future, The Warriors, and National Lampoon's Vacation, in no particular order. No way could I rank them.

Of all the movies ever made, do any of you seriously think that "Back to the Future" deserves a Top 100 ranking?

If so, you are a ****ing moron.

Like I said, a good, entertaining movie. It is not Top 100. Not even close.

Here's one such list (which I think is total shit due to the inclusion of "Gladiator" - which is the worst movie to have ever received a "Best Picture" Oscar, and "Green Mile," which is another stellar performance in mediocrity by Tom Hanks where he plays the exact same guy that's in 99% off all movies ever done by the actor):

Another:

Just random examples, but go check those movies. For the vast majority, every single one is substantially more engaging than "Back to the Future."

But I get it. Most people don't have the ability to discern the intricacies of life which have basically contributed to a general acceptance of mediocrity from a global societal perspective.

You're a bunch of uncouth tards. I'm sure that there are some who even think stuff like Borat are good movies. There is a reason why Will Ferrell continues to get acting gigs.

Go watch Philadelphia. Then watch Cloud Atlas.

That's too bad. It's not everyone's cup of tea but I enjoyed both movies, including Hanks' parts.

Hmmm...and here I was thinking I was being reasonable and objective.

You can't tell me Hanks was playing the same guy in League of their Own, Philadelphia, Green Mile and Cloud Atlas.

I lay the pipe for that ass and make her dance
(True)

If ya’ll ho getting ****ed on the 7th flo'
Then you wouldn’t know ‘cause the bitch don’t want you no mo'
She’d tell you she met a guy who was nice and candid
I think they call him T-Good
Or the big dick bandit
Say he had a big dick
But I thought it was random
Then he pull out the ****in’ Magnum Trojan condom
And he said, ”baby, that’s not how it begin”
Then he brought in all of his 7th floor friends
She found out there was more to Miami than just a football team
There’s also the 7th floor king ding-a-ling
She thought 5-2 was just my number, then she realized
You multiply the bitch up, dog, you get my dick size
First I put it in the pussy, then in the butt
That’s all fo' her, dog, the condom is filled up

If you look at that list and seriously think there aren't a shitload of movies Back to the Future beats out, don't know what to tell you.

How many of those movies are considered iconic?
How many of them featured groundbreaking special effects that stayed relevant even 30 years later?
How many featured a groundbreaking musical score?
How many were original screenplays vs. adapted from a book?
How many of those movies hang off a truly original idea vs. a good movie with exceptional acting?

You don't have to love it. But the production was unbelievably ambitious for its time. The idea was unbelievably unique and creative. And unlike many movies, it is iconic.

Of course if we're talking literally the greatest movies of all time, yeah, of course, it's not going to live up to movies like Gone with the Wind, but I'm not putting Gone with the Wind anywhere near my personal top 5.

I know you're trolling here, but AFI actually named Back to the Future one of the 10 greatest sci-fi films of all time. The script was also voted one of the 100 best screenplays ever by the Writer's Guild.

I have a hard time coming up with "top" lists because it's all subjective... but BTTF is a very clever, well executed film. It's definitely a classic. Just because it's not dead serious and takes a Capra-esque approach doesn't mean it should be lumped in with Land of the Lost or Borat. That's ridiculous.
