Just watched them again recently.

I think it f**ken kicks ass, i just love the continual jokes and similarities between the movies yet having their own style. Its probably the smartest trilogy ever made i reckon. I know it has alot of knockers but i still think its one of the best Trilogies of all times.

Thoughts??

Agree 100% An absolutely classic trilogy. The third was a little weak, I felt, but loved them all the same.

I sorta agree, the third one wasnt as good as the other two yet it was still a good movie.

The 2nd one is my favourite, wonder when we are gonna take up that pocket outside of pants fashion. :lol:

1 and 3 get my votes. The second one was too gimicky, full of shiny distractions and not much else.

Good clean fun!

Outstanding concept too.

Sleeping with the Enemy and Planes Train's & Automobiles were the first ever DVD's I purchased followed closely by BTTF, then Karate Kid.

With today's times I'm worried they'll pull a swifty and make part 4 as they always toyed with the idea.
(They'll ruin it like the new Star Wars.)

I think it was gonna be like Karate Kid 4 and use a girl as Doc Brown's side-kick.

Biff, apparently, got hold of the machine, and it was gonna be spacey and scientific.
If you went to Universal Studio's and rode the machine there I think that was gonna be the story line.

I e-mailed them once and pitched that not every scene has to be action-a-second.

Do any of you guys own the books? I've got part one and two novels.
One of my cheerished possessions.

We've watched those movies that many times, like seinfeld, and can do it line for line.

I'm with most of you guys, I'm not too keen on part 3 though.

I like how it starts but when he blasts off from the drive-in an meets the Indian's....I dunno, three-quarters of the film was on the wild west.
Part 3? Hmmm.
You know as a fact.....a movie fact...MJF really was choking when they were filming that scene?

I took an instant liking to Mary Steenburgen in this film too. Those FMB boots she wore made my blood boil.
She was married to that Cheers bloke right?
She was in this Kevin Kline movie once where she was secretly rooting her son's school mate and I liked that film too.
I had a 'Bridges of Maddison County' run-in with this older sheila once up at Macksville who was a splitting image of Steenburgen.

Brett Gaddes gives her a thumbs up for an outstanding root nomination. (For a mature woman.) (You know....if a woman says that you're handsome what she's really saying is you're ugly.)

Come to think about it....I haven't watched BTTF for quite some time now.
You never grow tired of them and it took me centuries to realise that Huey Lewis was actually the judge at the school music thing.

Hey! Anybody got eagle eyes?

Here's a little test for y'all with BTTF.

In the original......when Mc'Fly is about to take off from the carpark there's a scene 'round here where you can actually see somebody elses shadow near the wall of the super-mart somewhere.
See if you can spot it.
I did once but can't find it again.
I have to find out what exact spot it is.
I'll get back to you with it.

Here's a joke for y'all. Heard it this morning.

Anyway...there was this Irish guy on his deaths-bed near death, right?
His family are at his bedside 'n everything all sad 'n sh*t ready to mourn.
They leave him be toward the end for a while though.

Someone in the kitchen decides to bake some cookies out of the blue for some reason suddenly.

The dying bastard gets a sniff of the cookie stench waffling through the house and goes in search of his last meal.

He goes to grab one and a wooden spoon smacks the back of his hand.
"Here there Boy 'O, those are for after the funeral!"

Mary Steenburgen is hot in that Gilbert Grape movie as well, doing Johnny Depp on the sly in the kitchen.

Hope they release it on blu ray, one of my fav Trilogies of all time.
Nothing beats the original star wars Trilogy though.

She was in What's eating Gilbert Grape too, was she?
How did they derive that Scottish song "I wouldn't Walk five-hundred miles" from that film when the song was released well before that movie?

If Steenburgen was married to Ted Danson then her name would have been Mary Danson.

Merry Dancing?

I can't find my old print outs of that scene I was talking about where somebody else can be seen at the mall.

I think it's when the terrorists come and Marty hides and you can see somebody in the back ground I'm not sure.

That's about as funny as a screne door on a battleship.

I also read last night that they were gonna do either a movie or a TV series about how Marty met Doc when he was only 11.
It wouldn't have held up as it'd been weak concerning centralisation to the story line of time travel.

I doubt they'll make a 4th movie now.

All the actors are too old.

That Chilli Peppers guy was in part 2 eh? I had no idea it was him.

STOP THE PRESS for a second....one question, guys.....in part 2 where did old Biff, of the future, leave the Delorian when he traveled back to '55? Remember when he's in his younger self's car and meets himself with Marty in the back?
Where did he leave the time machine? He could hardly walk so where did he park it in town?
Hmmm?

I don't think it was ever established where he left the delorian when he went back to 55. One of quite a few plot holes in number two.

Still absolutely great movies. My absolute favourite trilogy. I love Zemeckis' comment in the Q+A on the original back to the future when asked about adding in extra scenes and stuff. He essentially says it is what is and it worked well so why do i need to add scences.

And it's unlikely that it will see the light of day on blu ray in the near future mainly because it was made by Universal who at this point remain HD-DVD exclusive.

For one of my final projects in first year animation, we were given an assignment where we had to animate a mad scientist character to the dialogue from BTTF #1:

"If we can somehow.......harness this lightning! Channel it- INTO THE FLUX CAPACITOR!......Just might work.....Next Saturday night we're sending you back- TO THE FUTURE!"

I added lip-synching to mine, was a cool assignment. Good way to finish out the year.

Totally agree. My favourite films of all time.

For the fact that there really isn't a weak film in the three, has to be the best trilogy of all time after Star Wars (which has the best and the worst trilogy in the one hit).

????

When him and the doc go back to 1955 from the alternate 80s reality, they keep it behind a big billboard on the edge of town. Where the contruction site for Hillsdale is I believe.

Thats where he gets struck by lightning at the end.
