Back To The Future (1985)

Back To The Future! Our 1985 season begins in earnest this week with Dave's pick of the year, Robert Zemeckis' layered, heartfelt time-travelling adventure (although do go and listen to our Goonies bonus episode if you can...)
BTTF is a perfect fit with several films the pod has already absorbed, a "Spielberg-ing" of early 1980s life that like ET (and The Goonies) presents a world beset by adult problems to which only children have the answers. Dense with physical gags and cultural references, and tightly plotted around its time travel premise, we are in the presence of another absolute classic.

If you want something good that's along the same lines as the one second in the future thing then check out Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes

What I find odd, is that this is one of the few films from this time that I have zero nostalgia for... and I don't know why that happened. 🫣

I can still remember my “off-the-telly” VHS version. I can still see my dads handwriting in the label and also remember I had to fast forward through a few episodes of ‘Allo ‘Allo to get to the movie. Good times.
