Back to the Future was the top-grossing film of 1985 and the eighth highest-grossing film of the 1980s. It was nominated for an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay in 1986, and won the 1986 People's Choice Award for Favourite Motion Picture. Co-written and directed by Spielberg protege Robert Zemeckis, it became a landmark of 'New New Hollywood' and has continued to grow in popularity, voted 20th in Empire magazine's 2006 readers' poll of the best films of all time. In 2007, the United States Library of Congress deemed Back to the Future to be 'culturally, historically or aesthetically' significant enough to be 'preserved for all time' in the National Film Registry. Other choices that year included such classics as The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), Now, Voyager (1942), Oklahoma! (1955) and 12 Angry Men (1957). Andrew Shail and Robin Stoate's study of the film places it in the historical context of Reaganite America and the cinematic context of the 'New New Hollywood' and Zemeckis's film-making career. They discuss the film's treatment of time travel and its depiction of the potential and pitfalls of science and of atomic energy. Shail and Stoate consider Back to the Future's attitudes towards teen culture of the 1980s and the 1950s, seen in the film as a period in which traditional 'American' values and gender roles held sway to the benefit of family and community life, in contrast to the more troubled decade from which Marty McFly begins his time-travelling adventures.

So is Back to the Future one of your favorite films? If it is, definitely pick up this short read. Learn how Reganite America is reflected onscreen, and how nostalgia of the past defines the film's depiction of the present. For film students interested in cinematography and mise-en-scène, this short book is a must. You will never watch Back to the Future in the same way again!

Enjoyable discourse, if a bit uneven.

A mixed bag. On the one hand, some of the analyses and discussions are truly thought-provoking, and insightful. Others seem slightly more ludicrous in terms of their leaps of logic, and the language is often unnecessarily dry and obtuse. Unfocused and somewhat frustrating - but still worth a read, for as short as it is.
