By Dan Girolamo
On its 35th anniversary, here’s where you can watch Back to the Future.
On July 3, 1985, a sci-fi film called Back to the Future premiered in theaters. Thirty-five years later, it’s one of the most revered films of the last 50 years.
Back to the Future tells the story of Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox), a teenager in 1985 who accidentally goes to the year 1955 in a time-traveling DeLorean. Marty coincidentally meets his parents and his mother begins to fall for him, which negatively affects his future. Marty must team up with Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) to make his parents fall in love and travel back to 1985 before it’s too late.

I’m sure director Robert Zemeckis believed the film would be a success, but I doubt he thought it would become one of the most important films ever made. This sci-fi classic was the highest-grossing film of 1985. It won the Academy Award for Best Sound Effects Editing and turned Fox into one of the biggest stars of the 1980s.
