I can't believe it's been 25 years since this came out. I must have seen it 4 or 5 times in the first two weeks it was in theatres.

This is also a good script to read to see just how different the first drafts were from the finished product.

@Trellick Tower: Okay, how about this? On the night of our wedding, basically a mid-point stop in Santa Barbara before we went up to Big Sur for the 'real' honeymoon, after a nice dinner, my wife and I went to see Back To The Future.

Re the script: It was one of the first 3 screenplays I read. It's such a tight script. One thing to look at is how masterful Gale & Zemeckis were with subplots. In fact, I did a lecture on that a few years back. I'll try to dig that up and post at some point.

Ha great story! I was 11 but I remember begging my mom for the money to go see it one more time.

Now my kids run around saying "McFly!"

I'd love to see that post if you can find it.
