Back to the Future exclusive: The magic of Marty and Doc

Around third grade at the local library, I was given the choice to rent one of the many films available. Of all the DVDs on the shelf, the one that stood out to me was Back to the Future. My mom began to tell me it was one of her and my dad’s favorite movies from the 80’s, and we brought it home to watch that evening. From there, I was quickly transfixed by all the movie had to offer. I even made a “time machine” project to show my class that year. Since then, I’ve seen Back to the Future more times than I could possibly count, and it still holds the title of being my all time favorite film.
