My favorite is BTTF 2. I like how there's so much going on in the movie. They go to the future, an alternate present, and back to the past. They even back in time to some scenes of the first movie, which is kind of mind blowing. Some people think there's too much going on in the movie though, and I can understand that. But I really feel like they expand the time travel concept a lot further in this movie.
I'd probably rank them like this:
1.) BTTF 2
2.) BTTF 1
3.) BTTF 3
I still like all the movies though.

I like how Part 2 gave us a glimpse of what the future year of 2015 could look like from the predictions made back in 1989. It really blows my mind how much they predicted right (1980s nostalgia, flat screen TVs, multiple TV channel choices, the Chicago Cubs winning the Major League Baseball World Series, video conference phone calls, thumbprint ID technology, wearable eye gadgets, etc.) as well as stuff that was predicted wrong (payphones, laser discs, CRT monitors and fax machines still being used), as well as some impossible future predictions (flying cars, hoverboards replacing skateboards, size-adjusting sleeve jackets, self-lacing athletic sneakers, automated gas stations serving flying cars, gravity-defying floating lightposts, traffic signs, etc. dotting the flying car-congested skyways, dehydrated cookie-sized pizzas that need to be rehydrated to full size before eating, as well as the abolition of lawyers in the American justice system).
My favorite scene was when Marty McFly, all dressed up as his future son, goes into the Cafe '80s, and asks the Max Headroom-style video waiter depictions of President Reagan and the Ayatollah on CRT TV monitor for a bottle of Pepsi, which gets dispensed from the center of the Pepsi logo on the counter below the CRT TV monitor showing those Max Headroom-style video waiters...
Another one of the Max Headroom-style CRT TV video monitor waiters was depicted as Michael Jackson, portrayed by Michael Jackson impersonator/actor E. Cassanova Evans.
The Cafe '80s was basically a 1980s-themed diner filled with all kinds of 1980s artifacts, including a wall of CRT TV monitors playing popular TV shows from the 1980s, including Knight Rider, The Cosby Show, Taxi, Wheel of Fortune and The Smurfs. The food even had such silly 1980s pop culture-themed names as the Barbara Bush Pie, La Bamba Tortilla Pita, Princess Di Spud Cake, Noriega Snow Peas, Ollie North Platter, Gorbachev Goulash and Liberace Fruit Salad.
I have the book about the making of the Back to the Future Trilogy, and I also have the actual USA Today newspaper that went into circulation on Thursday, October 22, 2015, the front of which has been modeled after the same newspaper from the film, which Doc Brown shows Marty in the film, which has a headline about his future son's arrest, which they were about to stop from happening, which they did succeed in doing, with Marty jumping from his board and into the pond as Griff was about to knock him out with his telescopic Kirk Gibson Jr. baseball bat, getting Griff and his gang arrested for crashing into the glass entrance of the historic Hill Valley Courthouse (which was converted into a posh shopping mall by 2015) during their hoverboard rampage.
Things get interesting in Back to the Future 2, when Old Man Biff, who had enjoyed a meal at the Cafe '80s when he encountered Marty, witnesses the flying DeLorean he saw thirty years ago, begins to connect the dots when eavesdropping on Doc and Marty's conversation about time travel, inspiring Biff to take a joyride in the DeLorean with sports almanac book, and go on his own time-twisting adventure, causing a catastrophe for Doc and Marty to stop, by taking back the sports almanac book back from Biff (in which Biff uses for financial gain by betting on the winning team stats in the book), they learn that time travel can be dangerous when it's abused by creating alternate timelines...they solve the mystery of how the chaotic alternate 1985 came to be, when Old Biff from 2015 took the sports almanac from 2015 and gave it to his younger self in 1955, his younger self used the info in the book to obtain his wealth and take over the city of Hill Valley by 1985, murder George McFly in 1973, legalize gambling in California in 1979, have a casino/hotel/museum built out of the Hill Valley Courthouse and become Lorraine's new husband by force, as well as the evil, corrupt and powerful stepfather to that timeline's Dave, Linda and Marty which he sent to a boarding school in Switzerland, as well as sending that timeline's Doc Brown to a local insane asylum...
In that alternate 1985, Richard Nixon was still president and was in his fifth term, and the Vietnam War was still going on, yet singer Michael Jackson still released his Off The Wall and Thriller albums as if nothing has changed, according to the posters on the the bedroom door and walls of those children (in what was Marty's bedroom in the normal version of 1985), as he gets chased out of that house by a man wielding a baseball bat...
