While waiting around for my Guitar Hero III to arrive (it’s only minutes away right now…) I was flipping the channels and found Back to the Future.
Watching it for the 29th time or so, I still find it entertaining and well-written, laden with pop culture tie-ins from the 50’s and 80’s.
Robert Zemeckis does a great job harnessing Christopher Lloyd and Crispin Glover, while using Michael J Fox’s rising popularity to turn out this film. Years later, he directed a similar film that used a historical events for plot development that were extremely well done.
One of the things that really makes both of these films work is the pace: fast enough, but consistent and easy to follow.
