In 1985 Back to the Future was a certified box office hit and beloved by anyone who enjoyed the cinema experience.    Marty McFly accidently sends himself to the 50s and needs Doc Brown to get him back.    Firstly, he needs to stop his mom from wanting him and move those feelings towards his dad, George.    If no one has seen this film, reading that last part makes this film sound pretty creepy. ...
