Okay, hear me out: Back to the Future III is secretly the best one?

So, I know everyone always goes on about the first Back to the Future or maybe Part II with the sports almanac craziness, but I'm gonna say it... Part III is the underdog champion. I've watched this movie so many times, and every time I catch something new I love. Like, did anyone else notice that Doc Brown is really good at target practice with his bare hands? He hits that bottle on the first try! And honestly, the love story between Doc and Clara is just so sweet. I actually buy it, which is saying something since it's Doc Brown we're talking about, haha. The whole 'science and romance' thing actually lands, unlike some other movies I could mention. Plus, Mary Steenburgen is fantastic. Okay, and I'll always cry when Doc leaves Marty again. I also think the Old West setting is just really fun. It's a total change of pace, but it works. The saloon fight, Buford 'Mad Dog' Tannen being an even bigger jerk than Biff... it's all gold. I do kinda wish they’d explained how Doc got so good at blacksmithing so quickly, but I guess some things are better left to the imagination. Also the train sequence is visually amazing! Maybe it's just because I have a soft spot for Westerns in general, but I truly think Back to the Future Part III deserves more love. Anyone else feel this way, or am I just completely alone in my appreciation for Doc crushing on a schoolteacher and building a time-traveling locomotive? Let me know!
