Back To The Future is a very complex film showcasing different settings and even different time periods. The high school scenes — which are said to take place in the ’50s — are highly nostalgic. We take a step back in time to watch Marty McFly meet his future parents. The trilogy as a whole is quite good. However, the first film in the series really is a terrific example of film. The school dance in particular is among the most rewatchable scenes in the film. From there, the acting in this movie really is top-notch across the board.
