I just watched the trilogy again. It's been a while. In any case, I haven't watched it since I really got into film. They really are good films. In some ways a bit cheesy, but in acceptable amounts. I think these films can qualify as three of the best comedies of all time. I could be biaised, though. As I recall, Back to the Future part II is the first film I ever saw in a movie theatre.

Yeah I love the trilogy, mostly the first and second, but Im a sucker for anything that screams of 80s and early 90s... if only it had more neon clothes and arcade games. There is something about my connection with being a kid and seeing the movie and going to the Universal backlot tour and seeing the set that makes me love these movies more now then I did then,

i shot a movie on the bttf set when i went to NYFA, and the tram would come by every 5 mins and say the same thing, over and over and over again. it was annoying but funny because i memorized the script and screamed the lines before the tour guide could.

You should have made a movie about doing something on the BTTF set and having trams go by, seems interesting

I have one serious issue with BTTF. Why the hell does Marty'd great-grandmother look like his mother (actually played by the same actress)? I mean, think about it! She should look nothing like her, because obviously his mother isn't of the McFly family tree, or else we have some creepy unknown incest thing going on.  :oops:

I got this at Christmas and have been so stoked to watch it. I'm just waiting for a free weekend where I can do the whole Trilogy. Man, it sits on my dvd shelf, taunting me...

The Johnny B Goode scene in #1 always knocks me out. Love it. Michael J Fox is the man. He's even cool in Teen Wolf.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

The Penguins - Earth Angel, accompanied by some strings on the Silvestri score + George & Lorraine's first kiss = one of the finest Romantic moments in cinematic history?

Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.
