The Greatest Movie of All Time

Back To The Future is made for all ages though. It's not just something that an emotionally stunted male wanker is heavily into.

Mmm...I recall some though provoking concepts in baseketball. But it's hardly a mature movie on the whole.
That's your opinion.

But I think it's a pretty mature concept to think this country would get so sick of excessive commercialism in sports, that a bullshit street game would rise up and become the national pastime.

Except, that that's just a superficial talking point. Sports is big business because consumers pay astronomical prices for that commercialized industry. The industry could operate on much smaller margins if people took a stand. That won't happen though. Just like people don't take real stands against government, they won't take a real stand against the sports industry.

Now, you really debate the greatness of Back To The Future?
 
Don't get out much do you? Gatsby is right on target. Fifteen year olds probably like R movies more than adults do. The movie rating system is shot, as long as a fifteen year old has a parent with them, they can watch R films in the theatre.
That's not the issue.

He was putting down my top 10 by inferring the movies are juvenile.

And my response was that the movies were not made for 15 year olds.

Does this look like a movie made for a 15 year old?

The Man who shot Liberty Valance
Snatch
Fight Club

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
was pretty big back then too.

A bunch of kids find an alien and hide him in the closet. There's a few 'cute moments' and 'touching moments' including ET using his healing hand. And then the govt condemn the house, the kids break him out and make a dramatic bike ride, and ET goes home on his spaceship. It's a movie that could be condensed to ten to fifteen minutes. It was just a hit at the time cos of the groundbreaking effects.

It was the newness of the concept and the coming together of millions to see it rolled into a light-hearted and funny story I was talking about.

Back To The Future is not a mere family flick in the same vain that Dr. Who is not merely a family show.

And Back To The Future is much more innovative and well-done than Fight Club.

Dog Day Afternoon like so many Pesci movies is a hyped piece of crap.

I'll admit that John Wayne and Clint Eastwood and some other good ole boy movies from the 60's and 70's were great even if I don't watch a lot of them.

Long live the Doctor! Think Capaldi will be as good as Smith or Tennant?

But yes, Back to the Future is a great film! Don't try to define things that are out of your league Billo_Really.

Back to the Future was a Disney-like bubble-gum gimmick movie that got way too much attention.

You mean, under my league?

The only nice thing about the movie was the little Hendrix riff at the end.
 
That is how the idiot youth spells America these days. I was making a point about the degradation of values in this country.
Someone told me once, if you don't like what you see, lower your standards.

And allow everything to keep slipping to meet your new "standards"? If things are bad, don't compromise your standards, rather find ways for people to step up and reach the bar, not down.

Riiight. Because Back to the Future is an insanely good movie that millions of people watch simply because of a Hendrix rift at the end. Maybe that's how you rate movies, but I rate them differently.

It was a warm and fuzzy, kids night, movie with a bubble-gum 50's theme.

It wasn't a deep movie at all.
