He did a great job, he was supposed to be a pathetic stammering doormat
Shame he was apparently a dickhead and nobody wanted to bring him back for the sequels
>Why did they cast him. He was fucking terrible
He was so retarded and weird that he's too believable in the role of a retarded weird guy from the 50s. You know you're watching a movie and it's like this guy's low-quality acting makes your brain think you're watching a documentary. He was a retarded weird guy irl so he was authentic to the role, which made it easy to cast him, but it was kind of a lazy choice. You don't disagree with the idea, but you want to believe it's possible to find a tall skinny scrawny professional actor who could do the role without also trying to mug for the camera. I think a guy like Odenkirk if he were the right age, could have nailed this, but Odenkirk is a rare talent. I think it was just too hard to figure out how to get this right, so I don't exactly blame them. It also makes it a more difficult choice since they nailed everything else (esp after swapping in Fox). It's almost beyond belief how well Wilson ate on this trilogy. Tour de Force level of just stealing scenes effortlessly. Fox is so great that having a guy like Wilson bring his A game makes their scenes together iconic. But I did want to agree that the movie would be even better than its current greatness with a different actor as George McFly, but I have thought about it and can see why it was tough to cast this role in this movie in particular
>dude this movie isn’t heckin’ edgy enough! >family values, a man standing up for himself, protecting his woman, and optimistic hope for a better future? >noooo it has to be dark and gritty and depressing and have more naggers nooooo
It was a segregated world back in 1955, numb nuts. Didn't you hear what Lou said about a "colored mayor"?
That's part of what made it all seem so real.
Maybe you should lobby for a negro version. They could make one where black Marty goes back to the past, and fails to get his mom and dad together, but then doesn't disappear.
It's a fundamentally well made film, that much is basically impossible to deny. Good performances, cinematography, sets, and a tight script with a novel concept
I'd never flat out call it "the best movie ever made" because it's trying to be a light sci-fi romp with some comedy, it never hits the same highs as other films that are attempting to show something more profound because it isn't trying to. Within the span of genre film though, I'd put it next to Robocop and Die Hard, as films that are basically perfect in that they accomplished exactly what they intended to, and the finished product is highly entertaining
I'll start off by saying its a good movie, but its the ultimate nostalgia piece. When you look at it in the context of when it was released, most of its success is purely due to 50's nostalgia, which was big at the time, because in the 80's the baby boomers who grew up in the 50's were similar to today's "90's babies".
And these days, its still very popular because of nostalgia for the 80's.
If it were made today with Timothy Chalamet as Marty McFly, a Tesla instead of a Dalorean, and going back to the 90's instead of the 50's, I highly doubt any of you Gen X dorks would care to see it.
>you wouldn't watch it if it was shit >you just watchi it because it has things you recognize
I don't watch reboots and don't care about zoomer's take on these already made stories/characters.
When you use "nostalgia" as cope all your saying is that you resent other generation for having their own things while you have nothing. No movie, no game, no comic, no star, no character, no aesthetic, no zeigeist.
Filtered. Literally every 80's shot has intentional product placement. The popularity of this movie is reliant on manbaby nostalgia for 80's products like muh heckin New Cokerino.
No IQ post
Every movie ever made has product placement. Hating previous generation because thei ahve things, unlike you, is lame
> Every movie ever made has product placement.
Bullshit. You must not watch too many movies. The opening fucking scene of Back to the Future is McFly skateboarding through a Burger King parking lot, full restaurant and signage in frame for about 5 seconds. His futuristic Nikes in the sequel have a similar shot. The movies are full of quotes straight out of a marketing department: "Do you have Pepsi Free?", "Who wants Pizza Hut?" Name one fucking movie with this kind of product placement. If you can't see how 80's consumerist nostalgia plays into this, you're retarded.

millennials are just like their boomer parents
nostalgic for their childhood and refuse to take accountability for their choices
it's been non stop 80's slop since 2010 and i wonder which demographic eats that shit up the most?
>it's been non stop 80's slop since 2010 and i wonder which demographic eats that shit up the most?
young generation who has nothing and tries to fill it with slop that reminds them of eras they never lived?
Will never be convinced that "boomer stuff except now is dogshit" is actually aimed at boomers. >muh nostalgia.
Eurotrash can't handle the truth, so they lash out whenever confronted with reality. It's a shame, really. Once the greatest civilization in the world, today's eurotrash is inferior in every way to pretty much everybody else. That includes pajeets, btw - pajeets are at least entertaining.
Back to the future does an extremely good job contrasting the 50's and 80s, it's downright prescient in that the stylistic differences and products that it focuses on between the two eras are the same that would be chosen if it were made today. The 50s in the film is 50s as fuck, but the 80s are 80s as fuck as well which is even more impressive
You now see the Darth Vader helmet hidden in the middle of the image.
Furthermore you also recall that Darth Vader is even mentioned by name in the film itself too.
>The 80s is overrated
LOL no.
I could ride my bike all day, play arcade games at 7-11 and buy comics and candy all for less than two bucks. Try that now, I dare ya.
That was all but a small taste of how good we had it.
Mid at best
Back to the Future is one of the purest filters there is. It's so undeniably good that to hate it exposes fault in the viewer as a person.
You are nuts. It is too cheesy to be considered a classic. I liked the mad professor guy though
>It is too cheesy to be considered a classic.
It's already minted as a classic.
>It is too cheesy
Literally just means
>it’s not cynical enough to appeal to my nihilistic sensibilities
>too cheesey
Says a lot about you, zoom zoom
Correct
2pbp. OP was filtered
OP doesn't hate it, just stating the fact it's like ordering a burger with a side of fries (not a bad meal btw) but it's no homemade meal.
>the pseudo-intellectual brings his food analogy
pottery
>the fact
We are talking about back to the future here, not fucking marvel
>Not exactly edgy is it
It's about a guys mom trying to literally fuck him
>Trying this hard to be contrarian
You have to go back.
>Not exactly edgy is it
Please, OP, give an example of what you consider an edgy film.
marty's uncles were icsh in the past when they were young boys
If you think this is one the best movies ever made, you objectively have no taste
Oh, objectively? Whoa.
>movie equivalent of McDonalds and Coca-Cola
Exactly. It's a well balanced meal the whole family can enjoy
Both McDonalds and Coca Cola are delicious even if I consume them max twice a year. So it makes sense because those movies are great.
Why are homosexuals always trying to bait me on this site?
Getting empty (You)s calling them a retard because they said some retarded shit is the sole thing they can get dopamine from anymore.
Why did they cast him. He was fucking terrible
Because he captured "awkward unfuckable cowardly nerd" perfectly, which is exactly what they were going for.
Shame he couldn't act
For a role like that, some people don't need to.
lmao, yeah, look at this unfuckable 6'1" nerd
Literally the best character and performance in the entire movie.
>performance
See above, looks aren't everything
You appear to have linked a clip of a talk show rather than the film containing the performance you are criticising.
He did a great job, he was supposed to be a pathetic stammering doormat
Shame he was apparently a dickhead and nobody wanted to bring him back for the sequels
WHAT ? WHAT?

You weren't there kid, you were watching the clone wars in your diapers
It's a shame that the movie has no sense of style, the setup and plot are interesting
I don't think anyone agrees with you.
>no sense of style
The fucking Delorean, you goof.
Like a lot of movies from the 80s it's okay at best, but a lot of kids saw it so it gets elevated by nostalgia to a status it doesn't really deserve
Like a lot of movies from the 80s, it's considered great because it is
>its the movie equivalent of McDonalds
It is, if McDonald's always had perfect big macs that look exactly like their commercials, every single time you get one.
One of the most occult, symbolic, Kabbalahic worshiping films ever put to screen. It will never be allowed to be pozzed like disney classics
>dude this movie isn’t heckin’ edgy enough!
>family values, a man standing up for himself, protecting his woman, and optimistic hope for a better future?
>noooo it has to be dark and gritty and depressing and have more naggers nooooo
Your last point is actually a valid criticism. It is a very "white" movie, unnecessarily so.
Post nose
>what more do you fucking want?
More representation. One person in a sea of hundreds is nothing.
There are plenty of blacks in africa. Watche the movies they make about themselves, like evey other fucking country
It was a segregated world back in 1955, numb nuts. Didn't you hear what Lou said about a "colored mayor"?

a black dude was the fucking mayor in the film, what more do you fucking want?
Piss off.

>allegedly
No. CERTAINLY one of the best kinos ever made.
One of the best trilogies, if not the best one.
Where's Rocky V and Robocop 1 & 2? If fucking Superman IV can make it, so can those.
Saw it in Christmas '85. I like it.

You must be one of those sad old fucks that watches TV commercials from your childhood on Youtube.
never noticed really. BttF is a great movie.
You don't notice modern shit because you are accustomed to it.
They wouldn't pick a Tesla, it's too current.
Because nobody cares about the 90s
90s fucking sucked
Cobain pussy had to ruin it all

If that was true, mcdonald and coca cola mogs your entire modern entertainment output combined
Its a fun, entertaining family film, the sort of which they cant or dont really make anymore.
it's mutt icon flick, it's not actually good but people pretend otherwise to keep the joke alive
You know what would make this website great again? Banning zoomers, phone posters, eurotrash and other third world garbage.
cry about it, fat inbred
why do you think he's fat? is it because you are?

It was actually Burger King and Pepsi.
Have you even seen the film?
shut up you fucking dickhead
For some reason I'm noticing a tendency for literal autists to be fans of this movie. Still a classic film though, but it's still a curiosity.
