Amazon.com essential video:
Filmmaker Robert Zemeckis topped his breakaway hit Romancing the Stone with Back to the Future, a joyous comedy with a dazzling hook: what would it be like to meet your parents in their youth? Billed as a special-effects comedy, the imaginative film (the top box-office smash of 1985) has staying power because of the heart behind Zemeckis and Bob Gale's script. High schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox, during the height of his TV success) is catapulted back to the '50s where he sees his parents in their teens, and accidentally changes the history of how Mom and Dad met. Filled with the humorous ideology of the '50s, filtered through the knowledge of the '80s (actor Ronald Reagan is president, ha!), the film comes off as a Twilight Zone episode written by Preston Sturges. Filled with memorable effects and two wonderfully off-key, perfectly cast performances: Christopher Lloyd as the crazy scientist who builds the time machine (a DeLorean luxury car) and Crispin Glover as Marty's geeky dad. --Doug Thomas
Critics and audiences didn't seem too happy with Back to the Future, Part II, the inventive, perhaps too clever sequel. Director Zemeckis and cast bent over backwards to add layers of time-travel complication, and while it surely exercises the brain it isn't necessarily funny in the same way that its predecessor was. It's well worth a visit, though, just to appreciate the imagination that went into it, particularly in a finale that has Marty watching his own actions from the first film. --Tom Keogh
Shot back-to-back with the second chapter in the trilogy, Back to the Future, Part III is less hectic than that film and has the same sweet spirit of the first, albeit in a whole new setting. This time, Marty ends up in the Old West of 1885, trying to prevent the death of mad scientist Christopher Lloyd at the hands of gunman Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson, who had a recurring role as the bully Biff). Director Zemeckis successfully blends exciting special effects with the traditions of a Western and comes up with something original and fun. --Tom Keogh

- "You have to come back with me...Back to the Future!"
How can anyone who likes these movies not like this set. If you are like me and where waiting for these movies to come out on DVD, you would have been pleased to see them come out like this instead of having to buy them all separate. I liked these movies when they came out, and I was so excited to see them finally come out on DVD. I loved how they all connected to each other like a continuing story. They made you want to see the next one as soon as it came out. I had to know what was going to happen ... Read More

- First one was the best
Always felt the time difference between the first and second episodes were way too long, but I'm glad they came out. Thought number 2 was decent, but didn't like the wild west concept of number 3 at first, but it grew on me. Doc Brown is a great character and it's hard not to like Michael J Fox as Marty. Excellent supporting cast, great music and effects and the nostalgia of the 80's just made the movie work.
Rating: - great trilogy!
I love these movies. They are most def. in my ranking for my favorite movies of all time. They have great acting, and great stories. Each and every one of them I could watch again and again. Overall, terrfic movies.
Rating: - Rating Back to the Future
First time to buy a "not new" video. Selection exactly as described "Pristine condition". Arrived sooner than quoted. Very pleased.
Rating: - A trilogy everyone should own.
Before I get to the reviews of each movie, I just want to say I think everyone should watch the special features on these discs. I dont usually watch them cause I dont have all the time in the world to do that, but there were a lot of fun to watch. And the outtakes were really funny. Glad they had those to put on these discs.
