Is that why they picked today in 2025 to fly into the future in Back to the Future 2?

I remember being a kid, thinking Mattel would release the hoverboard in 2015.

It's a shame the health of Michael J. Fox took such a turn. He was good in the "Back to the Future" franchise and I also liked him in "Doc Hollywood".

I love how Bill Lawerence revived his career. Him and Bill have been close since Spin City

I’d add L.A. Confidential to that list.

Back to the Future, is, in fact, perfect. Just a great movie, great plot, great acting, score, the whole nine. Ill stop in my tracks anytime I come across it on TV.

Casablanca is pretty note perfect for me.

That’s how I feel about BttF2 as a sequel. I know it’s pretty beloved, but I actually think it’s underrated as one of the best sequels of all time. It’s that good IMO. Just the way they revisit and utilize the entire first movie and weave it in and out of BttF2 is incredibly fun and awesome.
