1. Back To The Future
Come on, how could it have been anything else? Back To The Future is so much of an important film that were all celebrating a fictional day in the future of its timeline. Beyond being an exceptional film (and the start of arguably the most entertaining film series of all time), Robert Zemeckis time travelling opus has burst out of screens. It is eminently quotable, its characters can be used to sell anything and it oddly offered an ideal for our actual future. We even measure our consumerist utopian ideals on its story elements; the hover board and the self-adjusting Nikes became essential indicators of everyones perfect future. And incredibly, the franchise managed to predict a good deal of what makes 2015 so great: tablets, smart glasses, wall-mounted TVs It wasnt the only 1985 film to predict the future though, as Cocoon basically pre-dated The Best Exotic Marigold Hotels success by almost 30 years. Do you believe theres a more important year in cinema? Youre wrong, but youre welcome to try and offer futile argument beneath in the comments thread below
