Whoops, was it Jules Verne? I was thinking about that as I posted, but couldn't remember. Since Doc liked to time travel, I thought it might have been Wells, but now I don't know!

BTTF part 1 is one of the three movies that I always say, "this is my very favorite movie in all the world."

I have watched this movie over and over and over again and every time it airs I can't resist watching it one more time.

Yes, every time I watch it I catch something new.

It's usually the little things that draw me back to watch something more than once and this movie is no exception: Marty's reaction to the gas station attendants rushing out to service the car (we don't see that any more!), the comments about Marty's down vest (life preserver? lol!), Marty's difficulty with opening a bottle of soda - ROFL!

And Pam, as many times as I've seen this movie I never noticed the Twin Pines Mall and Lone Pine Mall thing, lol. Now I have to go back and watch the movie again just so I can see that part. Dang!

Gosh, I'm sorry I've forced you to this torture!

But I can't really take credit for it -- I didn't spot it in the movie myself, just read an article that mentioned it

Aughhh I love those movies, they are the best! Have you guys ever noticed the little homages to BTTF in "Tempus Fugitive"? And it's no coincidence that HG Wells' device in "Tempus Anyone" is called a flux capacitor. Of course, TF adheres to a slightly different theory of time travel than BTTF but... ok let's play a game. Can anyone cite the homages (intentional or not) in TF?

yeah, they're fun movies. i like the calvin klien thing and the changing name of the canyon at the end of the 3rd movie and that scene where marty jumps off the tower in the middle of the second and doc brown's refrigerator and jonny be goode and... a lot of fun moments, even if it was the same movie 3 times over.

anyone ever watch the tv series?

so, yeah, i'm a fan of BTTF, too, but i'm also posting to welcome LNC rox my sox to the boards. great screenname. also, as member #273, may i say you're the absolute coolest? (sorry. chemistry joke. sadly, though, it was my first thought when i saw the number) anyway, welcome and have fun.
