A poll conducted by the Official Charts Company and

to celebrate Must See Movies 80s, part of the National Album Day
celebrations, has found that Back to the Future is the UK’s favourite 80s movie as the public remains obsessed with
80s Stuff.
The poll was launched to mark
Must See Movies 80s, a promotion that saw participating stores including Amazon, ASDA, HMV,
Morrisons, and Tesco celebrate the very best of the decade with exclusive
collections on DVD. Fans voted in the Official Charts Company poll across
the month of October, allocating votes to their top three choices, with
the 80s sci-fi classic coming out on top.
Released in 1985 and starring Michael J. Fox and
Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future sees teenager
Marty McFly accidentally sent back in time to 1955 in a time-traveling
DeLorean built by his eccentric scientist friend “Doc” Brown. With its
iconic soundtrack and 1980s fashion, the film has stood the test of time
as a must-see for any film fan.
