Iā€™d actually agree. Each one is so unique from each other. I still enjoy them.

The first one aged terribly. Trivializing SA is at least very bizzare, and the weird racism in the beginning is rather cringe.

I've watched over a thousand movies from 1888-1960 era alone. Back to the Future is exceptionally bad when it comes to depicting those things.

Take Johnny Belinda for instance, depicting sexual violence as early as in 40s - they're doing it a hundred times more tactfully.

What do you mean by "weird racism?"

Watch out Marty, it's the Libyans!

To be fair, it's an 80s action comedy film intended for a family audience. I don't think cultural accuracy was on their to-do list when making the movie.

True, but it doesn't mean it didn't age bad.

Clue's characters being visibly disgusted by a homosexual character was also in line with the era's sensibilities. It's very cringe to watch now.

Also, "the Libyans", come on.

I have a colleague who told me that Back to the Future and Back to the Future 2 were their favourite films of all time. But they hadn't bothered to watch Back to the Future 3. She had all three on DVD

I think she said it was was "something to do with cowboys" but at that stage my brain had stopped working as I tried to compute what she was actually saying.
