Mine is #2 because of all the time periods visited in the movies: 2015, Alternate 1985, and back to 1955 to fix the timeline.

And they were actually 1 year off from their Cubs winning the World Series prediction since they won 1 year later.

I like the first one the best. The 2nd one is great too, but I don't like the 3rd one at all.

Speaking only for myself.. I only liked the first one, and it was one of my favorite movies of the 8os.

The third one was pretty sweet with Doc saving his woman from her fated death.

Correct. The first is a classic.

The sequels are both a lot of fun. But the fact that the movies now had a huge budget meant the directors seemed to focus most attention on special effects instead of story. I still enjoy both a lot. But classics they are not.

I think most people rightly feel that the first film was the best, but I have a soft spot for the third one.

The nature of sequels is that they are necessarily constrained by having to comport with the facts established by the previous installment(s). The original doesn't. As such, the first story is free to go anywhere, while the subsequent stories are not.

This doesn't mean that a sequel cannot be very good, sometimes even exceeding what it follows, but it does mean that the first movie (season, book, etc.) has an inherent advantage. And this often shows.

I think it does with the Back To The Future trilogy.
