Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?!
25 years ago today, Marty McFly went back to 1955 and made out with his mom.
Back to the Future opened on July 3, 1985. I didn't end up seeing it until it was out on video but I remember a kid at the summer camp I went to that year who could recite/act out the whole thing, line for line (and would at the drop of a hat).
It's one of my favorite movies of all time and it's the reason I learned to skateboard (badly) and the reason I still love Huey Lewis and the News.
A persistent myth is that Michael J. Fox had to learn to skateboard for the film. In fact, he was a reasonably skilled skateboarder, having ridden throughout high school. However, Per Welinder acted as a skateboarding double for the complex scenes, and Tony Hawk (who had originally been cast as a double when Eric Stoltz was playing Marty, but was too tall to double for Fox) helped choreograph and coordinate the skateboarding action. Bob Gale found Welinder and Hawk practicing on Venice Beach.
Michael J. Fox is only ten days younger than Lea Thompson who plays his mother, and is almost three years older than his on-screen dad, Crispin Glover.
Billy Zane makes his first on-screen appearance in this film as "Match", one of Biff's cronies.
When Marty first travels back in time, he encounters a farmer named Peabody, whose son (according to the credits) is named Sherman. This is a reference to Mr. Peabody and Sherman, the time-travelling characters in the "Peabody's Improbable History" segments of "The Bullwinkle Show" (1961).
So I have a back to the future related question and I feel like this is the place to ask it
I found myself watching BttF 2 on a buddy's nice new flatscreen the other day (TBS was doing a marathon or something), and the movie seemed like it 'popped' a lot more than I was familiar with. Did it get retouched at some point, or is this just a side effect of his fancy new TV?
Everyone in the room noticed and was baffled by it

your stance on Back to the Future is empirical evidence that you are, in fact, not cool, good sir.
