The great thing about this movie (and the trilogy as a whole) is all the easter eggs and running gags hidden throughout the story. I haven't watched your reaction yet but let me give you an example. Doc starts his experiment at Twin Pines Mall and when he reminisces the past he talks about old Peabody who wanted to create a pine tree farm (which obviously didn't happen). When Marty arrives in the past and escapes from the barn he mows down one of the pines. At the end of the movie we come back to the mall which is now aptly called Lone Pine Mall. There are many more of these throughout the movie(s).

I haven’t watched this reaction yet, but I love this movie. However, I love Back To The Future II even more, at least I did when I watched it as a kid in the 90’s. It’s funny to think the 80’s are as far back to kids now as the 50’s were to kids in the 80’s. But anyways, I was more interested in portrayals of the future than the past when I was a kid, but I love the 50’s aesthetic now. This movie also made “Johnny B. Goode” one of my favorite songs of all time 😁

Well done. You should react to the two sequels (Back To The Future II and III) while this one is still fresh in your memory. As The Godless Monk mentioned above there are many easter eggs and running gags in all of these movies and you'll enjoy them more if you remember things from the first movie. Be grateful you don't have to wait four years for the sequel like we did when this first came out! After this series is done, I would vote for "Casablanca" for a future reaction.

Omg I absolutely love this film and I’m loving ur reaction..I’m half way through...please please please do back to the future part 2 and 3 soon after this one..it’s truly one of the greatest trilogies of all time. Watch them while this one is fresh in ur brain. Loving your reactions from New Zealand :)

Stacey

Please react to the goonies as well at some point

One of my favorite movies for all time. So both the songs "power of love" and "back in time" in this movie are sung by "Huey Lewis and the News." Huey Lewis has a cameo as the person who tells Marty his band is too loud to play for the school dance. Also to answer your question, slavery was abolished by the 13th amendment in 1865. However, when the slaves were freed they still didn't have full rights. Black men couldn't vote until the 15th Amendment in 1870. Schools were segregated until 1954. Even after that some states put in Jim Crow laws, stopping them from voting, going to "white" schools, living in "white" neighborhoods or even holding certain jobs. In 1964 President Johnson signed in a law superseded all segregation laws once and for all, in 1965 the Voting Rights act was passed, and in 1968 The Fair Housing Act was passed. Long story short, by 1955 people of color would have had about 90' years of freedom from slavery but still wouldn't have really enjoyed the same freedoms as white people at that point. Even in the 50's when the Rat Pack was a thing, Sammy Davis Jr. would do shows in the big Vegas Hotels with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin...then he'd have to leave and stay in a separate hotel in what is now North Las Vegas. So it would stand to reason that the cafe could have Goldie working as a bus boy. Notice how he states he's going to go to night school to make something of himself...I think to imply he wasn't getting the same access to schooling that they were. Course he may just be talking about colleges. anyways sorry for my little rant lol

I absolutely love this movie and its sequels. So, thank you so much for watching and reacting to it, allowing for me to watch it again with you. I love both Marty and Doc of course. They're hilarious. But I also love George McFly from 1955. He was so cute and sweet, and strange, but lovable. :) As for George hiring Biff to work for him in the end... First, it's mostly meant to show us the difference in their characters from how they were with one another in the beginning, to how they were with one another in the end, to help add to just how much George's life has changed for the better upon becoming brave to stand up to Biff, and how much Biff's life changed somewhat for the worse upon being shown up by the school's biggest nerd. In a way... it's poetic justice to see them become the polar opposites of one another. However, it also appears Biff's personality changed so much to the point that he came to respect George and wanted to become his and Loraine's friend instead of their enemy. And I really like that. :) It may seem strange that they would have any kind of relationship with the man who sexually assaulted Loraine. Nowadays, it so wouldn't be the case. People today are so easily offended. Don't get me wrong... what Biff did to Loraine and to George is terrible and despicable. I am not condoning him in any way, shape, or form. But I think that in those days, people were for the most part more forgiving and kinder towards one another. It was simply a different time in the world. My favorite moments are both times when Marty and Doc work together to get the car ready for time travel, and seeing Marty travel through time both in the beginning and in the end. I also absolutely love seeing George render Biff unconscious in order to save Loraine. And then that kiss... I absolutely love the moment when Marty is fading away and pleads with George to find the courage one more time to kiss his mother, and then George knocks the second bully down and both he and Loraine kiss. So beautiful. So much is riding on that kiss between them, and it was absolutely perfect. :) I truly hope that you will watch Back to the Future 2 and 3 as well, even if they don't win the polls. They are so good and just so much fun. :) These movies are among some of my favorite movies and I just love them. Christopher Lloyd is the perfect mad scientist and just so amazing. And Michael J. Fox was phenomenal in this movie. I love them!!! Thank you so much again! I look forward to many more reactions from you. Thank you, David!! Until next time...

Where was the poll? On youtube? Anyways Great Movie to react to.

colton

i need a ghostbusters reaction. ive watched that movie since before i could walk and it still holds up.

Ceara Abrahamsz

Would love to recommend The Goonies if you haven’t seen it before! 💕

Joel Nordlander

Great reaction, when I was watching it I realized that it's probably ten years since I last watched this film so it was really fun to revisit it. For future movie reactions, if you haven't seen it I'd recommend Speed which is a fantastic early 90s action film starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. Though I'd advise you to avoid the sequel.

Scarlett Monrow

If you haven't seen Back to the Future, have you seen Terminator 2, Aliens, Jurassic Park? Because those are classics too, for a good reason!

MichaelB

This series is closer to being one long movie split into 3 parts than most movie series.

Kacey Caldwell

Not all of these are classic but have you seen Princess Bride, Sixth Sense, Forrest Gump, My Girl, Fly Away Home, The Addams Family, Mighty Ducks, Homeward Bound, Speed, Tremors, Misery, The Mummy (1999), A League of Their Own. Okay I've got to stop other wise i'll just keep listing movies. I enjoyed your reaction and as we started watching it made me wonder if I had ever seen this movie. I knew what happen but there were huge chunks that i dont remember. like the only thing i knew/remembered was his mom falling for him, the dance, and when he came home to a different family.

I was born in 1981 and grew up watching this movie over and over. I've seen it so many times but it never gets old. The great thing about this movie (and the sequels) is that the more you watch them the more little details and clues you pick up on. This trilogy has the best continuity of anything I've ever seen. It's fantastic. I would love to see you watch both sequels. Ghostbusters is another one you must watch.

Kristin Carter

I vote for an 80's movie marathon .... Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Goonies, Dirty Dancing :)

Renee Pope-Munro

OMG, hard co-sign on both Dirty Dancing and Goonies (never day die!)

Heidi, I really like and agree with all your comments except for one thing you wrote which I have to address. In 1955 people were NOT “more forgiving and kinder towards one another.” It’s far more likely that Loraine would have been labeled the town slut for leading Biff on, even though that’s not at all what actually happened. What Biff did was regarded as “boys will be boys.” Trust me, the sexism (and racism) in 1955 was off the charts! I know this because I was born in 1954. I lived through that era, and I wouldn’t want to return to it in a time machine for all the money in the world.

Tumbili

Nick, I’m chiming in late to thank you for bringing up Jim Crow and providing some historical perspective. I was going to write something similar, but you put it so well that I don’t need to. I think this is a great movie, but it’s a fantasy in more ways than one. Movies made by white directors for white audiences typically whitewash the past. As I mentioned to another comment below, I was born in 1954. But thanks again for what you wrote. It needed to be said.

Doc's dog in 1955 is named Copernicus, he is of similar breed to Einstein... Maybe he cloned him somehow....But Doc names his dogs after famous scientists.
