Will I watch it again? Guaranteed!

I remember catching this one when it came out in '85 and, like the rest of the world, I was blown away. You've seen it so you know what I mean. It's just so much fun. There's a great story, tons of laughs, some real tension, great music (thank you, Alan Silvestri!), editing, direction, performances, the works. The only thing that keeps this from being a flawless movie is the disappearing people on the photograph during the dance. Yeah, I know, if you can get behind the time traveling DeLorean then that shouldn't be much of a stretch. I can buy everything else but that one little bit makes me laugh.

On IMDB there are 1,833 who rated this a 1. There are 1,833 people on the planet who should not be allowed to watch movies ever again. I'd LOVE to see what they did like.
