Despite having seen the movie 50 times and counting, I'm always left in suspense. The musical adds an element of Doc being afraid of heights, yet he risks his fear to help Marty.

[@supermcfly100]

Same here

[@PLAYER_42069]

Alan Silvestri's score is iconic. It rivals the best works of John Williams, and his contemporaries, IMO.

[@KingCircles]

Unfortunately the most favorite of mine movie has been seen 50 times every year by me, averagely, all the three parts. Yes, the Doc risks his life to help Marty with his life yet causing Marty to evaluate the Doc's life in whole 11 minutes that is a bit funny. 11 minutes occurred not enough. Fortunately the Doc had read the 1955's note to be aware enough to take the bulletproof jacket on, otherwise he would risk to have been shot.

[@sammywestenberger9303]

Marty: Hold on!

[@SharpDesign]

I love that this wasn't a time where we have to establish a reason for a character to be afraid of heights for it to mean something. Anyone of us hanging up there would know exactly how Doc feels in that moment.

[@VideoAmericanStyle]

Ironically, for a film about time - this is one of the most timeless films ever made. As wonderful today as the day it was released. I still get chills every time I watch it!

[@coreytrevor3910]

Its also one of those movies where they make time travel easy. If you dig deep enough it has a ton of inconsistencies and plot holes and all that. But it wasn't meant to be a time travel movie. Its meant to be a movie about friendship and love and going after your dreams. It just has some time travel elements.

[@ericdegre3538]

Nothing ironical here, a time travel movie simply time travelling to the future, making it timeless. 😉

[@IamAlyciaShinese]

Agreed

[@bmwrules28]

Haha Doc’s scream when he sees the other end of the cord disconnected and Marty hitting the steering wheel with his forehead to start the DeLorean always makes me laugh. This is such an awesome movie.

[@DarlingNikki2]

I always thought Christopher Lloyd deserved a Best Supporting Actor Oscar (or at least nomination) for his role in this movie! His acting here really is genius because not only is he believable as as a 'mad scientist' with all sorts of wacky ideas (and one amazing one that actually works lol) but the nuances of his friendship with Marty are key to his ultimate likeability. He and Michael J. Fox have amazing chemistry and as much as I like Eric Stoltz, no one else could have played Marty McFly but MJF.

It’s crazy how when you’re younger 30 years is an abstract eternity. Something always on the horizon. But when you get older those same 30 years are a blur. Your own memories feel like another life. A distant dream. And I’m only 50. Right in the middle of remembering things that happened 30 years ago and hopefully 30 years of new memories.

The movie was not finished with me. A couple of years ago I got to relive the joy of viewing it like it was my first time. I showed the movie to my 11 year old daughter and she loved it, just as I did. The movie about time, transcends time and generations.

[@gdog2831]

My 11 years old son (bit before he was 12) was uncomfortable the whole movie and didn't like it as much as he had T2 the week before. I asked why and he didn't quite know. I said "is it the mum thing?" "Yer - it's weird".

When I was a child, my mom got this for me on VHS and I would watch it everyday during the summer and even after school. We had a rocking chair on the living room, and I would sit and cover myself with some sheets over it with a circuit board on my lap from a broken Atari to imagine I was Marty inside the Delorean flipping switches getting ready to go back to the future. I miss those days, even thought I may have watched this literally thousands of times over the course of my life, I still get chills and watery eyes every time I see it again 🥲

[@PLAYER_42069]

Great Scott! Remember when 2015, was the future? And now, it's almost a decade past! The interesting thing about BTTF is it was made by Boomers, who were nostalgic for their childhood in the 1950s. But it's managed to endure beyond it's specific time setting because its universal themes transcend generations. I recently attended a watch party with Millennials and younger who had never seen BTTF before, and they loved it. This is a testament to Robert Zemeckis' writing, directing and the casting for all the leads. BTTF will be 40 next year, but will continue on until we have actual hover boards and flying cars.

[@manuelorozco7760]

I’m 31 and it took me until I was 22 to sit down and watch this classic!

They were predicting hoverboards & flying cars in the 2010s back in 1980s but that didnt happen. Just smart phones & iphones.

​@@Music-tk5oqone thing oddly they did predict was the size of fax machines and printers being portable and tube shaped. I mean this isn't for all of them but they are made and super portable and look basically the same as the way the movie depicted them, so I find that cool.

I'm still in my 30's and I still love this classic and yes I am an millennial.

[@tech-bore8839]

It's precisely that reason I don't buy the whole "updated for modern audience" excuse when movies are remade. I don't need to see smartphones, the internet, or social media present in a movie in order to connect with the characters and enjoy the story. It's as silly as hating Casablanca because it's not in color, or hating Jaws because the shark isn't in CGI.

This movie and trilogy is full of so many poignant moments. Marty electing to hug Doc to say goodbye conveys so much. Marty is so incredibly grateful to Doc for all of his support to attempt to get back to 1985 (with 1955 Doc having zero relationship to him before he travelled back in time), but in responding to Doc saying "I hope so" to him asking if they'll reunite in 30 years adds so much more. Marty undoubtedly is wondering whether he will make it back to 1985 safely or if something might happen to him in trying to. But moreso Marty knows of Doc's fate before he left, and he's genuinely not sure if he will ever see him again or be able to stop what's coming for him. With the timeless score over the top it's one of many perfect (and emotional) movie scenes in the trilogy for me. The perfect film
