I do. The first film is perfect, or nearly so. It’s charming, full of details, funny, and obviously hugely influential. But I find it also perfectly captures that upbeat 80s vibe. It’s endlessly quotable.
The sequels are not necessary but well executed, about as good as sequels can get. I probably liked Part 2 more as a kid, but I still enjoy them both. I find the self-referential time-loop history-repeating-itself stuff both appropriate and limiting. But they’re fun. I’m still disappointed we never got those hover-boards.

It’s a classic! Do you like the sequels?

That’s my thinking too! I think the second one is great fun, it gets a bad wrap but it’s just good fun.
