"Ghostbusters is the better comedic movie, written well with a classic line every few minutes and perfect delivery between Murray and Akroyd... and Murray and Weaver... and Murray and Atherton... and Bill Murray is pretty good too... BUT Back to the Future was just a brilliant film, period. One of the best written films ever, and has the prestigious title of being one of the very rarer time travel movies which actually works. Because if the original didn't work, neither of the sequals would have worked. It operates at higher levels by actually addressing time travel in a way where it actually makes sense and doesn't attempt to overanalyse the "BUT HOW?" question which is unanswerable with a bunch of overcomplicated pseudo-science, it makes you accept "The DeLorean has to hit 88 for it to happen... deal with it... don't ask anymore God damn questions!" and sets the scene with that being acceptable. It also touches on Freud's Oedipus complex... Its one of those films that can be enjoyed on multiple levels and has a hell of a lot of depth to it. Lloyd also owns the screen from second one. So while Pete Venkman and the guys bring the LOLs this one to me isn't too hard a choice despite loving both movies. Thanks a lot guys... now you're going to make me unpack the DVDs and watch 6 hours of BTTF..."
