I saw it in the theater twice and always watch it if it's on. 

The first is a classic.  The sequels have some good bits too. 

Crispin Glover is totally bizarre!

Just think, in less than five years we can all look back at 1985 the way Marty McFly did 1955 ?

And I've, unfortunately, known people who act like George McFly (Crispin Glover), except when he's on David Letterman.

I remember going to the theaters on a day off from my summer job (back in I think May 1985) . I just got paid the friday before and wanted to SPEND SPEND SPEND!  :)
I was really into Marilyn Monroe at the time, and I had bought a few 8 by10's of her, since, for the 1st time in a year, they were on sale 1/2 price!
Then I walked by the movie theater nearby. It was early afternoon, and they were showing Back to the future and Rambo part II as a matinee, I suppose.

Saw both films. I thought both were fabulous. But Back to the future left me with a better feeling and smile on my face. One of my favorite movies ever and one of my favorite days ever. I still remember the feeling I had from that day after coming home, and it's 25 years ago.

I have seen Back to the future at least 15 times, and will see it 15 more times, if I have the chance.

One time in the course of telling a joke, a drunk and senile Buddy Hackett shouted the phrased "cow's vagina."  David let out one his bogus chuckles and gave the uncomfortable grimace as if to say, "I really wished you hadn't said that.  We were taping and we're over budget and out of time!"

My sister and I saw BTTF when it was originally released. I still love it. The part where Marty does his Eddie Van Halen bit and brings the dance ot a screeching halt struck us as especially funny at the time.

I saw Back To The Future in the theater when it first came out, and I'll never forget how the audience cheered loudly and broke into thunderous applause when George McFly knocked Biff out. I've seen very few movies before or since that have drawn such a strong emotional response from the audience (maybe a few of Tarantino's films).

Already done.  It came out earlier this year and was called The Hot Tub Time Machine.

(BTTF is actually one of the few movie franchises that could benefit from a reboot.  The parents who enjoyed BTTF's reconstruction of the 50s are now mostly grandparents, and would likely enjoy it as much as the BTTF generation would enjoy a trip back to the 80s.  Just set it in 2010, and have McFly's kids as the stars.)

Yes!
You are correct.

But...didn't they just go back to 1986?
And as anyone who's lived the '80s knows, each year is as distinct and unique as a snowflake, so 1985 is waaaayy different than say 1986.  ::)

October 26, the BTTF Trilogy hits Blu-Ray.  I cannot wait.
I hope they never do a 3-D version of the trilogy, cause if they did, that 3-D shark, would be in 6-D and would still look fake.

Take that Max Spielberg :D

That part's cool, I also love when Marty sneaks in to George's bedroom in the radiation suit, blasts him awake with Van Halen on the walkman, and says, "Silence Earthling! My name is Darth Vader. I am an Extra-Terrestrial from the planet Vulcan!"

Whistle, George decking Biff isn't even the end of the movie!

And Tanya? All Biff had was his Grandma, who was probably too senile to raise him right. If she was still living in 1985, she'd probably spend her Sunday nights still trying to find Gunsmoke on the TV. :P

Any more thoughts?

I'd very much see a remake of Back to the Future, with the dates updated to fit the current era.  It would more likely than not be a lot weaker than the original, but the use of different time periods could add a fresh and interesting twist to the story.  If any classic film deserves a remake, Back to the Future is it, in my opinion.

Where else can they travel to besides 1955 and the 1800's? ???

I just figure if there was a remake of the movie, the starting point would be present day, so Marty would probably travel back to the 80s or 90s to meet his parents as teens.  The different technology and attitudes would mean that the producers would have to modify the plot in a lot of ways in order to make sense.  For instance, Marty would probably sing Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit instead of Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode at the dance, while George McFly would be watching the rebooted Twilight Zone instead of Science Fiction Theatre.  The comparison between the (real) 2010s vs 80s is very different from the 80s vs the 50s.  Knowing current hollywood trends, I wouldn't be surprised if they switched up some of the races, genders, or even sexualities.

In Back to the Future Part II, Marty was originally supposed to go to 1967, a year before he was born, to rid Biff of the sports almanac, but the producers decided to go with 1955 instead.

Thanks for sharing the article.  This is the first time I have heard Glover's side of things.  When I saw Back to the Future 2 and 3 I thought it was him.  Then I watched one of the anniversary DVD's where they said that it wasn't him.
