I was in middle school when the film came out. We had never seen anything like this before in the cinemas. At the time, thought it was the coolest thing ever. It shot Huey Lewis and the News to fame and this became one of the anthems of a certain under-parented generation. But the film also blended the music of their parents into the story so well with classic rock n roll tracks from the 50s, such as Johnny B Good, making some of their parents' music also very cool.
Back to the Future!!
