Hard to believe the movie was made in 1985.

Fantastic movie.

Ha, I was quoting Marty after the Doc stormed out of the garage yelling 1.21 giggawatts.

Then Marty runs after him and yells "what the hell's a gigawatt!?"

If you listen to the radio announcer giving college FB scores in BTTF2, those are the actual scores from Nov. 12, 1955 (which was a Saturday). That kind of attention to detail gets a thumbs up.

Oh, and in BTTF1 when the name of the mall (1985) changed from Twin Pines Mall to Lone Pine Mall b/c Marty destroyed one of the guy's trees busting out of the barn (1955). Double awesome.

And the Cubs winning the World Series! I think it is really cool to watch the second one especially and see all the little things that are going on again and keeping the timelines "straight"

Every time I have to take my car in for servicing I worry that it is going to need a new flux capacitor and those suckers are spendy!

OMFG, does that make me feel so old! I remember 1980, and when Back to the Future came out, I thought 1955 was so long ago, like they'd gone back to the dinosaurs or something. To think that 1980 is just as long ago from today, wow...

Yeah but at least with Mr Fusion we can now power the flux capacitor with trash instead of having to steal plutonium from Libyans or perfectly timing a lightning strike.

All you need is a banana peel and some Miller High Life.
