Huge BTTF fan here.

I love all three films. The first is my favourite, but the other two are amazing as well. :D I think it's fantastic that in the trilogy, there is not one film that you think "Oh no, not that one". Every single one is worth viewing over and over again.

At risk of sounding boring, my favourite character is Marty. I think Michael J. Fox portrayed him perfectly, though of course he needed an excellent 'Doc' to bounce off, too!

aaa definitely ! i completely agree with everything you've said. admittedly i don't really like the third one as much as the others (i just really dislike clara, if i'm honest), but it's still an amazing installment in the franchise. personally, my favourite story-wise is the first one, but humor wise it has to be the second one; and oh man, michael j fox and christopher lloyd have AMAZING chemistry, i can't imagine anyone playing doc and marty as well as they do. they embody their characters so perfectly, and they work together amazingly.

bit of an unpopular opinion, but i'm kind of sad we didn't get to see more of the tannen family, tbh. i feel like zemeckis and gale left a lot of unanswered questions surrounding them. me and my friend created this really diverse and intricate storyline surrounding their family, lmao.

I’m not a huge fan but I do like them. My preference is their chronological order, I like the first one best and the third movie the least. In fact, I don’t really like the third movie all that much at all.
I watched the first movie for the first time when I was 9 and we had just gotten our VHS, which was a pretty big deal at the time. I thought the movie was absolutely awesome back then, and I thought Marty was the coolest guy I’d ever seen. At that age I just loved how he hitched a ride with a car, being dragged after it on his skateboard. He was so cool in my eyes! The first movie really impressed me at the time.

I wasn’t equally impressed by the second movie, but I was still taken with the vision of the future, which again, seemed cool to me. Hoverboards! Holograms! Yay! :lol: It was the stereotypical view on how living in the 21st century should be. (and where did our flying cars, hoverboards, holograms everywhere, household robots and jetpacks go?? Sigh…)

Forget all that, I just want my DeLorean! It's always been a dream of mine to own one. Fortunate enough to have seen a couple, including a movie original, but if I had one...wow.

Pipe dreams.

yessss, oh my gods, i completely agree with both of you.

the 2015 from bttf still seems so 80's, despite it being set in the future, lmao. i wish we had hoverboards now, but i'd probably just fall off.

apparently they're remaking the delorean in 2017? i really hope so, because i want ten. speaking of the delorean, a teacher of mine went to belfast a few weeks ago and there was about seventy-seven deloreans there, at some kind of reunion/anniversary. SEVENTY SEVEN...... i can only imagine how beautiful that must've been!!

i almost cried when she told me, lmao.

I know that a lot of DeLorean owners modify them with time machine features. I'd love to do that.

I have a feeling that even if they remake it, it won't be the same and will be excessively expensive. I want to believe that the remake will be my way to own one, but I still doubt it. :(

Yep, I like Doc Brown the best. Great Scott!

"Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads."

"The justice system works swiftly in the future now that they've abolished all lawyers."

"Great Scott! Your other self will miss the lightning bolt, you won't get back to the future and we'll have a major paradox!"

"There's that word again. 'Heavy.' Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?"
