Back to the Future (1985 Robert Zemeckis)

Zemeckis and Bob Gale were Oscar nominated for their brilliantly clever script... Can't help thinking JK Rowling saw this and a seed stuck for Prisoner of Azkeban - theme of time runs as clearly through it as here. It's tremendous fun with its somewhat risqué story of mother falling for son..

Film predates CGI.. When did that begin - Pleasantville?

Christopher Lloyd is great - I love the video scene (a JVC camera by the way, did anyone notice??) where he says 'I look so young! That hair!' whereas he looks exactly the same. Product placement really took off with this film. Michael J., Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover (a taste I've never acquired), Thomas Wilson (Biff), Claudia Wells, Billy Zane.

Shot by Dean Cundey. Alan Silvestri scored.
