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.

[listopencil]

Just off the top of my head here are a few movies that I would rank higher:

Sparticus, Ben Hur, The (Original) Manchurian Candidate, Casablanca, It's A Wonderful Life, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Several Clint Eastwood Movies, In Harm's Way, Star Wars (original three). That's just off the top of my head.

I didn't at first. He actually annoyed me way back on TV in "Bosom Buddies" and in that movie "Splash." I missed the "Sleepless In Seattle" phase completely. The first thing I ever liked him in was "A League Of Their Own." He's grown on me since as an actor.

And to think... He almost wasn't even cast. I can't imagine that movie with Eric stoltz.

II was entertaining. III, even though many think it's by far the worst, it's a solid movie though not even close to a classic.

I is also in my top 5. Rare for a movie made in 1985 with lots of special effects to stand the test of time.

I thought part 2 was good. I could never get into part 3, I'm just not a wild west guy.

Other than the serendipitous epiphany that was Forrest Gump, Tom Hanks should have stopped making movies at Bachelor Party. Brilliance followed by some of the most average levels of thespian mediocrity this side of Kevin Costner or Bruce Willis.

And Back to the Future, while a very good movie, shouldn't be on anyone's "Top 100" list if they have a discerning bone in their body.

Sacco going full idiot.

Dude, your trolling hard.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

I am a fan of Fox, though. I thought Spin City was great.

In fact, the last time I watched regular TV on a weekly basis, Fox, Drew Carey, and Kelsey Grammer ruled the airwaves.

I don't troll.

I'm being quite serious.

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.
