Why Back To The Future Should Be An All-Time Favorite

Everyone has their favorite movie; you have the classics such as Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather, and Titanic. These movies are known for being great and garnered several awards. I believe is one of the greatest of all-time is Back to the Future and there are several reasons why.

The Brilliant Screenwriting

One of my favorite things about Back to the Future is the attention to detail in the movie. Almost all of the conversations in the movie tie into another part of the movie. While they are sitting at the kitchen table at the beginning of the movie, they discuss several things that'll happen later in the movie which is very easy to miss because you just assume its filler dialogue. The screenwriting in this movie keeps you thinking and it's awesome to see it all tie together as the movie goes along.

The Amazing Acting of Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown

If you do not get a kick out of watching Doc in Back to the Future, I would question your sense of humor because his character is hilarious. He's always in character even when it's not a scene focused on him. The little things that Lloyd does like roaming in the background, shooting quirky smiles or mixed grins make him such a complete character. Doc is your typical nutty scientist during his time on screen, he constantly keeping you smiling and laughing with his silly contraptions or when he talks to a picture of Thomas Edison for advice.

Marty McFly

The amazing job Christopher Lloyd did playing Doc Brown is one-upped in this movie by the acting job of Michael J. Fox does playing Marty. The only Academy Award this movie won was Best Sound Editing, and neither Fox nor Lloyd was nominated for an award for their impeccable acting performances in this movie. Marty is a protagonist that you want to root for. Is there anything this guy can't do? He's able to defeat Biff in front of City-Hall while riding a two by four with wheels on it. Every time you think he is trouble, he finds his way out of it. Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd play so well together in this movie, they seem to have a real bond that makes their characters gel so well with one another.

The movie has a time-traveling DeLorean!

If none of my above points are enough to want to watch and appreciate this movie, this should be. It has a DeLorean that time travels!

P.S. If you watch this movie and enjoy it as much as me....There are two more!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
