Back To The Movies

The Future.

Or more to the point, Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox.


I must admit, Back To The Future I is my all time fave of the Back to the Future Trilogy:
(snagged from wikipedia)

"17-year-old Marty McFly is accidentally sent back in time to 1955 in a time machine built from a DeLorean by eccentric scientist Doc Emmett L. Brown. Upon arriving in 1955, he inadvertently causes his parents to never meet. To make matters worse, Marty did not bring back any extra plutonium to power the time machine, so he must find the 1955 version of Doc Brown to help him out. Not only is his own existence in danger; Marty must get his parents back together before the clock tower is struck by a bolt of lightning, the only power source both capable of sending him back to the future, and predictable enough to harness."

A couple of my fave, memorable scenes are when Marty is rocking out at the school dance and starts playing 80s rock and roll with a guitar and then everyone just stops and stares. And when Marty wakes up in his underwear and his mom in 1955 keeps calling him Calvin because his underwear says Calvin Klein. LOL!

If you have not seen the Back to the Future trilogy, doing so is highly recommended for the following reasons...
-If you need to brush up on 80s & 90s flicks
-If you enjoy sci-fi trilogies with humor
-If you think Michael J. Fox rocks
-If you think Marty McFly is just the coolest character name
-If you think Biff is the perfect bully bad guy name
-If you like eccentric scientists with wild white hair
-If you like awesome memorable lines such as...


Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?
Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?


-And if you just like good enjoyable flicks!
If you've seen the Back To The Future Triology which is your favorite or most memorable scene, and if you haven't you don't know what you're missing! :)

Now there's a flash from the past! Thanks for reminding me just how much I love that movie!

Alyson Noel said...

Yup, this is a great movie- I recently watched it again- on VHS! (Hows that for going back in time!)

Oh, Kelly, those are classics! In fact, thanks to my sons who went through their own Back to the Future phase, we own them all on DVD.

I actually got to go on the set of #2, stood around in the "future" version of the McFly house, and met MJF and some of the cast members. There was a real upbeat air about the set, which I think shows through in the films.

Wow, I'd forgotten about these movies. All of them fab, though I agree with you Back To The Future is the best one.

I love these movies. One is my favorite. I guess I'd say my favorite scene is when he's standing in front of that HUGE amplifier, strums the guitar and gets blown back into the bookcase where all the stuff comes tumbling down onto him. (My six year old likes that part too, great minds!)

Hi, Kelly! Love this topic.

The first movie will always be my favourite. I love the dinner scene (pre-time-travel) where Lorraine tells her kids about the Enchantment Under the Sea dance. Oh, and the other dinner scene (post-time-travel) where Marty meets his grandparents cracks me up too.

I liked the first movie in that trilogy best, as well. In fact, it's become a part of our family culture. When anyone does or says something really clueless, the response is "Hello. McFly." :)
