Great Scott!
A perfect time for Biff’s Question Song.
Tom F Wilson is sadly overlooked and underrated, despite being one of the most entertaining actors of the series.
“And George – don’t be suspicious when that same eight-year-old kid grows up to look just like me, your wife’s first crush.”
It’s one of my all time favorites, and Stranger and the others have already said it best.
I just wanted to add the score by Alan Sylvestri is incredibly catchy, memorable, and almost feels like an invisible character in and of itself.
Of course, in 1985, I was dragged to the movie by my neighborhood friend, kicking and screaming, because I thought it sounded lame. I walked out of that movie wanting to get into filmmaking.
I was 12.
I’m into filmmaking.
He’s great as a menacing thug, a western villain, as well as playing the sniveling post-time travel Biff that was waxing Marty’s truck. That takes talent to play both parts convincingly.
Against Miami?
Isn’t he the dude who abolished all lawyers? And gave us JAWS 19?
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned it yet, but in honor of the 25th anniversary, a lot of AMC theaters are showing it on the big screen this week.
Sadly, I don’t like near any AMC theaters. 
Almost, yes, but not quite.
One of the nitpicks I’ve always had with BTTF is that some of the things Marty does in the past create a different future when he gets back (he gives his dad the confidence to be more successful; the name of the mall changes because he ran over the tree) – while some of the things he does are shown to have influenced aspects of the future he came from (he convinces the mayor to run for mayor; he gives Chuck Berry his “new sound”). I don’t see how you can have it both ways.
Still, it’s a very minor quibble. The trilogy is one great film and two really good ones.
Though they haven’t yet done so, the Marlins organization has considered changing their geograpic designation from “Florida” to “Miami.” It could still happen. And I can come up with any number of unlikely and convoluted scenarios by which they could switch from the NL to the AL.
Come on, just let me have this. We Cub fans need all the hope we can get!
This thread reminds me of when I went to see this movie the second time. It was in second run, and I saw it at the dollar theater. When Doc entered the date into the time machine, it got a huge reaction from the crowd, because the actual date we were sitting there was October 26, 1985. “Hey, that’s today, that’s today!”
You want to know something…I have seen the movie at least a dozen times, discussed it on the internet plenty of times and this never once occurred to me…Now it bugs me too 
and at one point aren’t there like 4 or 5 Deloreans in 1955 at the same time?
Can anybody give me a link to the a webcomic I once saw that illustrated that tie travel doesn’t take the orbit of the Earth into account? I think this was done by having the Delorean floating in space.
I just recently watched it and saw something that just as a local Angelino struck me. When Marty leaves Doc’s house in the begining he turns a corner onto a busy street. It’s Victory Blvd in Burbank. He passes a Burger King and we see the signs for a Toys R Us and a restaurant called Lancers. All three are still there and I frequent both the TRU and the restaurant. It was just funny to me that that block was still entirely recognizable after 25 years.
And will happen. When the Marlins move into their new stadium in 2012, their name will change to the Miami Marlins. It’s a deal they made with the Miami-Dade county commissioners to get public funding for the new park.
You know what movie handles time travel pretty close to flawlessly?
Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
“oh, yeah. A trash can.”
Jigawatt.
One! Point! Twentyone! Jigawatts!
