HEY Everyone! If you're a fan of classic movies, then you're in for a real treat because I recently watched the iconic film "Back to the Future" for the first time and it was an absolute blast!
For those who haven't seen it yet, "Back to the Future" is a sci-fi comedy that follows the adventures of teenager Marty McFly, who travels back in time to the 1950s in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his eccentric friend, Dr. Emmett Brown. Along the way, he must ensure that his parents meet and fall in love, while also trying to find a way to get back to the future.
Watching "Back to the Future" is a fun-filled ride that will leave you laughing, cheering, (if your me CRYING) and feeling nostalgic for a time when the world seemed a little simpler.
So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show!
Please don't forget to SUB it really helps support me and my channel! I really appreciate it!
Hit the Like!
annnnd I'll See ya soon!

The teacher that says “it’s too darn loud” was Huey Lewis - who did the music for the movie and was a big rock star at the time
And is now deaf ironically considering his line.
@@Hardrock1a
I didn't know that. How sad.
I believe the irony, is that he wrote the song that Marty's band is playing in the audition.
@@LandSharkEatsU Tons of Rock musicians ended up deaf, due to many concerts and such.
@@namco003
Yeah, I hear ya. I spent years in the Marine Corps Band. Ears still ring from it, lol.
You know how you loved this movie in 2023? So did EVERYONE else in 1985. This was a hugely popular blockbuster back then- a pop culture milestone, and still today.
It’s unreal
This is also a rare case where, not only the first movie works as a stand-alone movie, but the two sequels create an almost perfect trilogy.
@Hold Down A the virtual screen ride in Universal studio with delorean flying was crazy
@@rikuruohomaki3230 it’s not “almost perfect”, it IS perfect
@@rikuruohomaki3230 The two sequels were made at the same time, just split into two movies.
Did you notice the name of the mall? Originally, it was "Twin Pines Mall". When Marty went back in time, he crashed into one of them, and when he came back to 1985 it was the "Lone Pine Mall".
The damage to the ledge of the clock tower too! It's the little things.
@@thetimk4720 Like in the end of the third, when it is suddenly not "Clayton" but "Eastwood" on the shield ...
nearly 40 years.... and i never noticed that :D thats great.
@@ChristiansPlaymo-Ecke Yes, the details are incredible. I could watch this trilogy over and over.
That's one of the best continuity holds in all of Sci-Fi.
Marty: "I have all the time I want, I've got a time machine."
Also Marty: "Okay, 10 minutes oughta do it."
That wouldn't have been too bad, as he wouldn't want to run into himself as that could cause all sorts of confusion, but I think he failed to take into account for the amount of time he spent with Doc before he actually time travelled, which would have been at least 5 minutes, but probably more.
@@Cheepchipsable it also goes with the character theme with him always being late or "having no concept of time."
He enters 11 min here look: 01:35AM “okay ten min oughta do.” 01:24AM
It might have been enough time, if the car hadn't died as soon as he arrived.
To save his life, I would have gone back at 8:00 PM the previous night. Not too much chance of changing anything, but enough time to get to the mall on time in case anything happens.
I've actually had the chance to hang out with Tom Wilson who plays Biff a few times (I used to work for Universal Studios). He is absolutely the nicest guy in the world. Same with Chris Lloyd. Got to spend time with him when we were shooting the TV commercials for the Back to the Future Ride. Terrific guy.
So fun!!
Tom seems like a very deep thinker and artist, such a contrast from Biff.
Tom Wilson has a UA-cam channel. Lots of fun.
I have only seen Tom in interviews, but I always liked him. Thank you for confirming that he's a great guy 😍😍 I absolutely love how he overblew everyone in the third movie, so fkng epic 😂😂
@@crazyratlady3026 Just like the yellow-eyed bully from "A Christmas Story," a regular mensch.
This movie is taught in film school as an example of an absolutely perfect movie script. This is one of the few series where watching the sequels is totally worth it
John Mulaney disagrees.
@@MikeB12800 For every idea anyone ever had, there is at least one person on this planet who would disagree. Just doesn't mean much.
Not only worth it, but pretty much mandatory. 🤣🤣
this is one of the rare occurances where part 2 is even better than the original. but it doesn't make much sense without viewing the first one first. and FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, avoid the third one! its pure trash! and idiots will tell you otherwise but IGNORE THEM! but of course you'll ignore me instead. you'll watch part 3, talk about how great it is although its a really crappy movie. go figure.
The sequels are amazing, especially when you consider they were never intended to be made in the first place. While that ending scene does seem to setup a sequel perfectly, it was done entirely as a joke. It was only after pressure from the studio that the Bobs decided to work on parts 2 and 3 (which were written and shot at the same time).
My grandmother took me to see this in the theater for my 13th birthday (Actually she took me to the movies and we were going to see something else but she saw how much I wanted to see BTTF, that she relented). And she ended up being glad she did. She had fun watching it and found it nostalgic taking her back to the 50’s. This movie will always remind me of her. ❤
That’s cool man. Some of my fav memories of my mum were of us going to the cinema when I was a kid, BTTF was one that she took me to.
That's honestly the best grandma story I've ever heard.
so cool you had that time with your grandma.
My parents were in their early 60's when this came out. They were pretty much homebodies, but we convinced them to go see this one together. They really enjoyed it.
Lol, great memory to cherish. Mine was when I was a teen and my best friend and I wanted to watch True Lies. So my non English-speaking mom too us and was forced to watch it with us. She loved it😂. Glad it's a memory I can cherish❤
LOL! I never thought about it like that before! Marty telling Biff "Whoa, Biff, what's that?" was him playing his own trick on him. That makes it so much better.
Lol!!!! Thanks for watching
*Marty was given a priceless gift by going back in time: to be his father's best friend, confidant, and mentor, resulting in changing his father's life for the better, and saving him from beliefs and perceptions that would have otherwise stifled his Dad's potential going forward. I did not realize it until I got older, but I think we call all look back at our parent's lives and wish we could have been their for them in key moments of their past.*
yes and no. this is a slight trigger for me as- that is also the burden thrust upon a child that is later a struggle to un-yoke called "parentification" and in its most insidious and cunningly uncurable form: "emotional parentification" Like the Cukoo bird that lays its egg in anothers nest, the manifestation of adult like sophistication and maturity at an childs age can appear admirable, but it eventually becomes a kind of self isolation, anonimity in a crowd, self reliant but with no recourse through the many years of adulthood.
@@64MartinDiV *There's a crucial difference in your comparison: Marty was mentoring or "best-friending" his teenage father, not his adult father. It was a peer to peer friendship; there was no generation gap. In addition, there's no indication or hint in any of the sequels that Marty was negatively affected by the "parentification" you describe. I hope the dynamic you describe was not your experience, nor is it necessary to say to publicly. "Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14) The front windshield of your car is larger than the rear view mirror: that's because we will get to where we need to go by looking ahead not behind. I wish you well.*
best friend, confidant, and mentor for a WEEK lol
@@Dad...... The film leads the viewer to assume the changes made in the entire family are lasting ones: siblings are popular and successful; the parents are confident and healthily in love. Therefore, the relationship between son Marty and father George will also be much better, healthier and lasting. Also, it only takes a moment to change course in life, sometimes for better or for worse. We see that in fictional stories countless times.
@@chrisg9196 I'm not poking holes in your statement, just pointing out that Marty did that much change in just a week.
Back to the Future is on everyone's short list when asked to describe "the perfect movie that literally everyone loves."
The movie is a time machine in itself. It always takes me back to 1985.
I heard that they originally wanted to use a refrigerator as their Time Machine, but they changed it due to concerns that kids might place themselves in fridges, and might harm themselves in them; so they went with a DeLorean, and I must say: great choice.
Also, I can't deny - I used to get _such_ a crush on Lea Thompson (Lorraine) during the 1955 scenes!! ❤ They did an amazing job with aging the actors up for the future.
Lea Thompson is definitely a smoke show. Still is to this day. Although seeing her in Howard the Duck took things to another level.
They Did! I was so confused at first because I was like crispin glover can’t be that old in the 80s… then I kinda caught on when Doc had all the latex makeup to age him I kinda understood where the story was going! But yes the hair and make up for 80s and 50s was amazing! Costumes and all!
@@holddowna hey I have a movie request anaconda and wearing gloves
I though Lea's age makeup rooked a little doughy, but it was passable. Crispin's was great.
When Marty said "Y-y-yer HOT!" he wasn't joking.
Far more time has passed since the movie was released 1985 until today 2023 (38 years) than the 30 years Marty went back in time. The movie has itself become a time capsule.
Yeah haha, 2015 being current time is... weird.
And we still haven't got the hover boards they promised us.
Omg. I feel so old now.
The screenplay and story are so tight and flawless they teach it at UCLA film school.
The Back To The Future trilogy is perfect. The script doesn't let a single opportunity pass up to make a scene funnier or smarter.
Standing up to bullies in my life has always connected me with George Mcfly's character growth.
A lot of people ask that question about how does Marty's parents not see the kid that went to their school for a week in their son.
But really, I get it because I went to school with this really fun and awesome guy for 1 year when I was a junior. And now (nearly 20 years later) I couldn't give you any details about him other than he was a He and had brown hair. And I went to school with him for a year, Marty was only there for a week.
If you take the movie too seriously, and you shouldn't, then that could be a problem. But this at its heart is not a time travel movie but rather a movie about how would a teenager interact with his own parents as teenagers. The look of Fox's face when he first sees his dad in 1955 is priceless. Then waking up in his mother's bedroom is equally classic.
And, there was a time when people wouldn't take q picture every 5 minutes.
Brilliant reaction, Amy. What is even more impressive is that Michael Fox was hardly getting any sleep when this film was shot. During the day he was working on the TV sitcom Family Ties, so they could only shoot Back To The Future during the evenings and nights.
That’s wild!!
@@holddowna And now you know why Marty sleeps funny.
Maybe that contributed to his Parkinson’s desease.
I was lucky enough to be part of the generation who saw this in theaters when it first came out, was 16 at the time. Still remains one of my all-time favorite movie trilogies! Its very humbling to see folks realize why the 80s were an incredible time to be a kid and more even awesome to see people of new generations falling in love with something that still holds a very special place in my own heart!
It is so amazing!!!!! Thanks for watching!!
I was born in the early 90s, grew up watching these movies on VHS. They are my favorite movies, I also loved the ride and the tale tail game( it’s like 3 or 4 movies in itself, does not dip in quality one iota)
Back to the future is a brilliant example of a perfect movie!
One thing I always wondered about was Marty's money -- his coins that he used in the Coffee Shop at the beginning.
@@incub8 Nobody ever looks at coins. They're not worth forging, either, because on large denominations you'd be arranging a huge minting operations and get a, say, 25% gross profit on a *coin's nominal value.* You'll spend it in moving the damn things and their raw materials. On small denominations, even the official mint makes a net loss on the value of the metal alloy alone. It's still worth minting them, *for a government,* because coins facilitate economic activity.
Still, say someone notices a "misprint" with a future year (and that's not a given since coins can stay in circulation for a long time so Marty could simply have old ones), what would they do about it? They'd wonder about it, maybe hold on to it, but come year 1985 at the latest and that coin is going to be worth diddly-squat, because it will be in every way the same as any other coin. There'd be no way to tell. Even if someone did a metallurgic analysis on it, they'd conclude it a hoax or that someone had stolen the original misprint and replaced it with a contemporary coin. At most you'd get a footnote in some conspiracy zine.
It's maybe the best movie ever, tied with The Lord Of The Ring, but it's not perfect haha. It has a couple of big flaws.
No such thing as a perfect time travel movie. 😆 But this was definitely the best.
@@incub8Someone eventually probably noticed them and decided they were fake. Unless they just happened to be over 30 years old.
Great reaction! So cool to see how much you loved it. Can't wait to see what you think of 2 and 3.
Just in case no one else has already told you: at the end of pt. 2, please pause as soon as the final scene ends and text appears onscreen. A spoiler-filled trailer for pt. 3 plays immediately after that.
If you pay close attention, there is a lot of guitar history in this movie. From the tiny yellow "Chiquita" in the opening scene, to the 1958 Gibson ES-358 hollowbody electric at the 1950s dance (it was the wrong year guitar for 1955, but a Gibson ES-355 was ridiculously big on MJF). BTW... Eddie Van Halen is actually playing all of Marty's guitar parts. The scene where Marty plays a Van Halen tape for sleeping George... the guitar you hear is Eddie's black and yellow striped 'BumbleBee' guitar. That guitar is an icon. Every popular Van Halen song your hear on the radio is that guitar. When Darrell "Dimebag" Abbott died, Eddie placed that guitar in the casket with Dimebag. He said only an original deserves the original. The guitar that saved the space-time continuum is buried with Dime in Arlington Texas.
I saw this on opening night in 1985 at the age of 14. It blew us away. Now I understand we were spoiled with great movies growing up in the 80s. Amazing time to be a kid. The 80s truly were magical.
Trivia: This movie was almost entirely filmed with a different actor, Eric Stoltz. They were almost finished when they decided it just wasn't working. They had wanted Michael J. Fox but his work on Family Ties prevented him from doing it. They went back to him again and the Family Ties producers agreed he could shoot Back to the Future as long as it didn't interfere with Family Ties. So they filmed Back to the Future mostly at night and he kept up his regular Family Ties schedule. Only in recent years did this become widely known and some scenes with Eric Stoltz in the role have been released. Basically, the cast filmed almost the entire movie twice. Once with Stolz and once with Fox.
This was the first movie I bought on VHS back 1986. Love this movie.
Side note - you remind me of a good friend of mine. You look, sound, and your personality is just like hers. It's heartwarming to see, as she passed away back in 2020.
Aww soo sorry to hear about your friend
That’s cool! I owned a ton of VHS an never owned this! So excited to be watching them!
Maybe it your friend time traveled back into her !
@@holddowna this will go down in history as the worst remake in us history ua-cam.com/video/J06aB-3Y2OU/v-deo.html
fun trivia:
- when they were filming the scene with lorraine and marty in the car, they didnt tell michael that there was real booze in the flask.. when you see him spit it out, that was a real reaction lol.
- when marty hits biff, that wasnt michael's fist.. that belonged to eric stoltz - the original actor that was supposed to play marty.. for some reason that left that short clip in.
I love how the end half of this movie was full of “Omg” and *Gasps* hahaha this trilogy is 100% my go-to rewatch all the time
I know 😅😅😅
This was the greatest movie in 1985. Awesome stuff. Also, not sure you caught it but the song Marty plays is Chuck Berry's song (his voice too) and the connection was that the guy who hurt his hand was Marvin, his cousin. All the little things in this movie are what makes it a classic. I almost feel sorry for everyone today that can't experience movies like this and the music, etc as it happened in the 80's.
One of the most iconic, memorable, and even quotable movies of not just the 1980’s but of all time. Loved your reactions; and I can’t wait to see how you’ll react to both sequels.
Thanks for watching with me!!!
This has to be your best reaction ever. Your sheer joy at watching it was completely irresistible.
Thanks Jeff! Such a fun movie!
Nice reaction - I know you won't believe this, but back in 1985 we had these things called theatres - these great big rooms where everyone sat together and watched these movies - not like on our phones, the way we do today ... lol - speaking of time travel - that reaction you had at the very end, the exhilaration at being blindsided - that's just how I felt, and I just realized I've been trying to hold onto that feeling ever since, that memory of a perfect experience at the movies ...
I will never understand why so many people now chose watch movies on phones, when big flat widescreen tv’s are so readily available at reasonable prices. We live in very strange regressive times. I wouldn't even watch youtube on a little phone screen.
Great reaction!! You've now experienced my #1 all-time favourite movie! I could honestly watch this any time, and instantly feel good! It works so well as a stand alone movie, yet also integrates with the sequels seamlessly. Acting, dialogue, effects (not just for the time, but even still!), plot - it all comes together perfectly. Glad you enjoyed it as much as so many of us do/did.
👍🏽😎
Your reaction to the ending was awesome! I can't wait for you to get to Part 2!
Lol it was so amazing!
@@holddowna my family member told me this movie came out in July 1985 and was a box office hit 😊
@@only257 im pretty sure it was the 2nd or 1st best movie of 1985 too
You are smart, figuring out what was going to happen in the story as it went along. But it was nice to see your surprise and reaction to the ending and your excitement at watching the sequels 'in the future'! By the way, during Marty's audition with his band, the guy with the megaphone that told him, "you are too loud", is Huey Lewis of Huey Lewis and the News, and sings the theme song The Power Of Love.
She had clearly watched it before dont you think ?
@@AndrewRobinson-ee7um 100%, she's seen this movie all her life. Says she's a big fan of Christopher Lloyd - how many would say that without including this film series? Knows and spots every little detail that is integral to the plot and "guesses" exactly why. Sorry but this is most transparent attempt to pretend you've not see something I've ever seen.
@@AndrewRobinson-ee7umnah
@@numsig Or maybe she has a clue and understands concepts such as foreshadowing, along with the simple fact that in a good movie, nothing is presented to the audience unless it will be relevant to the story.
loved your reaction! As a teen in the 80s its so nice to see young people today appreciate a movie that’s so dear to me!!
Some context that's often missed is that while the Delorean is a cool looking car now, in 1985 it was kind of a joke. Deloreans struggled to be fast and constantly broke down (which is why this happens near the end of the movie.). The entire joke is that Doc built a time machine out of a flashy expensive nerdy card that was super unreliable -- the modern equivalent of a Tesla or a Cybertruck.
Im glad you get to enjoy this! It truly is a fantastic trilogy. And its something we can just hold onto and cherish.
Your reaction was f'n fantastic because you came in as a Zemekis fan. What's funny is, you already thought he was incredible and yet, you hadn't seen this. It made for a refreshing reaction, thank you!!!
🥰🥰🥰
@@holddowna romancing the stone is also one of my favs!
Used cars
Best time travel movie ever. Spot on with continuity. Even small things like the mall at the start being named "Twin Pines Mall", in the end it is "Lone Pine Mall" because Marty ran over one of the pines in the past.
Not sure if anybody has pointed this out, yet, but Doc mentions that back in the 50's, the land the Twin Pines Mall was on, was all pine trees, grown by a local man. Marty crashes into that man's barn, and runs down a young pine tree, as he flees. When he returns to 1985, the mall is now the Lone Pine Mall.
Huey Lewis who wrote the song is the guy who says "It's too damn loud"😃
Yes. One of the best trilogies! A tip from me for when you watching the second one: after the last scene stop watching because there is spoilers for the number 3 😉
Fun fact. The one who said the band was too loud, was actually Huey Lewis, the singer of Huey Lewis and the News, who in real life, wrote the song.
Also, in this movie, the song Marty plays in 1955 is Johnny B. Goode, which is actually a Rock classic from guitarist, songwriter and singer Chuck Berry. In the movie, a character named Marvin Berry, a guitarist Marty replaced in the band, phones Chuck Berry and tells him to listen, as Chuck had been "searching for a new sound".
Also, in BttF Part 3, the Hard Rock band ZZ Top not only did the theme song "Double Back" for the movie, they also make a funny cameo in a scene in the past.
watching this reaction make me so happy, i love your finals thoughts, glad you enjoyed it
Gotta love how recognizable this movie made that car 😁 There’s only a few of those true star cars that everyone can recognize no matter what… the Back to the Future Delorean, the Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am, and the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard are some of my favorites! Can’t wait for Part 2!
Kitt from Knight Rider, the A-Team van, Batmobile, the Gadgetmobile
It may not be as sporty, but let’s not forget Ecto-1. 😉
Black Beauty from The Green Hornet, Mannix Firebird, Speed Racer’s car and Steve McQueen’s Mustang in Bullet to name a few more.
The LTD from "Men in Black," Herbie the Love Bug, Lightning McQueen, Mater the Tow Truck
You'll love Back to the Future 2. Fun to see how they thought the future would turn out and how it is now.
Always wondered why Goerge didn't click that one of his kids looks exactly like the kid from school. 🤣
I look forward to seeing your next Back to the Future reaction.
👍
If you met someone for only a week 30 years ago you probably wouldn't recognize them completely today unless you had pictures.
Robert Zemeckis...who directed the trilogy, also directed Romancing the Stone, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forest Gump, Cast Away, the Frighteners and many more. Genius director❤
HES the best! I must watch more of his films!
@holddowna Hi-ya young lady. I'm loving your reactions. An early Zemeckis movie you will love is "I Want to Hold Your Hand" capturing the days when the Beatles first came to America. 👍👍
Great reaction! It’s always a pleasure to see someone enjoy a movie that was such a major part of my teenage years.
Yay! Such a heartfelt reaction. I really enjoyed this. See you for Part 2!
✨😎✨❤️
I didn't see anyone point this out in the comments yet, but it should be noted that the "judge" of the talent show auditions who said, "I'm sorry, you're just too darn loud," was Huey Lewis, of Huey Lewis and the News - the 80's rock band that did the music for this movie. And the song "The Pinheads" were playing is one of their songs, which is also seen in the beginning of the movie, when Marty is skateboarding to school. "The Power of Love".
I'm sure you can find some of their music videos on YT, if you're interested.
Also, the Delorean, as cool as it looked, was a notoriously unreliable car. John Delorean, the head of the company, spent a lot of the company's money up his nose, rather than on the development of the car.
Ya I was wondering if it was a real car cause I’ve never seen one LOL
@@holddowna I'd never seen one when this movie came out because nobody I knew was rich enough or cool enough to own one.
@@holddowna IIRC MSRP was $60,000. In early 80s money. It looked cool, but had mediocre performance. A Porsche or Corvette would have been a better bang for the buck.
I have a 1/18 copy of the flying Delorean from the end of the movie that I bought a long time ago.
Damn! Love these movies, and I never knew that!
I just learned last night that the reason Huey Lewis sings in We Are the World (Hold Down A, if you haven't seen/reacted to that video, you can thank me later ^^ )
...is because Prince went full douche and declined to come. So huey was a last minute replacement for Prince, and boy did he deliver!
Song video here. A staple of the 80's, legendary stuff. ALL the major stars singing in choir!!

Your emotions at the end got my emotions running as well. Thank you! I will look forward to the next two movies in the series.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You're too good at figuring out the plots, at noticing clues and putting them together. Almost too good to be true. I've never seen such a sharp person irl, you're like Benoit Blanc :)
LOLOL it drives my husband nuts! But I’m not always right and sometimes I get confused Thanks for watching
Haha my thought exactly, very logical thinker
To be fair it's not really rocket science with this movie, lol
@@FannyAdamsGhost It's Chekhov's Gun, right?
If you're showing the audience a gun in the first scene, then it's going to be fired by the last scene.
(If I were ever to become a movie director, then I'm totally putting a gun, that belongs to a character named Chekhov, in the first scene. And then NEVER referring to it ever again in the movie. Screw you, Chekhov. Screw you.)
Honestly, what a brilliant reaction. This is indeed, one of thee best trilogies ever made. (My personal favourite actually). Seen BTTF about 437 squillion times, over the years and never once shed a tear, but just seeing YOUR emotional and honest reaction at the end - surprisingly - made me roll a few of my own. Watching new people fall in love with timeless classics such as BTTF never gets old for me. Roll on BTTF 2 & 3 reactions! 🤙
Aww thanks John!!! Can’t wait for 2&3!
The kiosk the Libyans crashed into was a Fox Photo location...a place to drop off film and pick up photos. Seeing that kiosk was especially nostalgic for me because my Father used to be a corporate officer for Fox Photo back in the days before digital photography. In 1986, Fox's processing plants were acquired by Kodak under the name Qualex, and their retail business was sold and eventually became today's Ritz Camera. Digital photography eventually killed off most of the film business, and Qualex stopped processing services in 2009.
I was 26 back in 1985 and saw this in the theater - it was wild! This movie was HUGE - and everybody LOVED it! Everything about this film is so wonderful - the story itself, the concept of interacting with your parents when they were younger, the entire cast, the music by Alan Silvestri and also Hughey Lewis and the News (Hughey did the cameo appearance as one of the teachers at the rock band audition. He's the one that tells Michael J. Fox that the music is too loud). They were all over the radio back in the '80's. This is such a beloved film and I never get tired of seeing it. It was really interesting to see you tear up when Marty opens the garage door and sees the car he wanted. I had the EXACT same reaction when I first saw that and I still do. I don't know why. I think it's the culmination of everything that happened to him and now he ends up where he does. I teared up even when Marty says good-bye to his (young) parents. I love Christopher Lloyd too. He is amazing. Do yourself a favor and watch the old TV series TAXI -- that's when I first saw him. He was freaking hilarious! The entire cast was awesome. He started as a guest appearance in the first season (1978) and then became a regular in all the remaining seasons.
This movie is just so much fun! I have such fond memories of watching this on DVD with my grandparents whenever I would stay at their place as a kid. So glad you enjoyed it!
A top 10 movie of all time, for me. It's one of those movies, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, where every scene is iconic. If I come across this on TV, I"m stopping and watching it. So much freaking fun with such great, loveable characters.
This is exactly the reason I watch reactions. This is a very special movie for me, and seeing someone experience it for the first time and feeling all the emotion and excitement that I felt, it's special. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love your reactions!! Thank you for making this channel
I’m so happy your here! Thanks for your support!
This is the best reaction ever. I love this movie so much and seeing you react as you did, is great!😂
I saw Back to the Future in the movie theatre when I was in high school. There was no #2 or #3 coming, the ending of the first one was suppose to be the end. Years later they decided to make #2 and #3 and they made them practically at the same time and released #2 while holding onto #3 for later. So, when we went to watch #2 at the theatre, we knew there would be a third one coming. That's why there are spoilers (previews) for #3 at the end of #2 because they had already made the third one
I LOVE that you have started this trilogy! It's one of my favorites! I have to say that the sequels are JUST as good as the original, and I honestly think I enjoy the third one for reasons that I will NOT spoil. You need to watch for yourself! Enoy them, and I can't wait for your reactions to them!
You can't spoil something she's obviously seen multiple times! :D
One of the most amazing aspects of this movie is a kind of self-referential time-travelling effect: I first watched it back in the 80's and countless times since. But every time I rewatch it, I feel exactly the same way I did then. I don't know of any other movie that evokes such a crazy journey through time in my mind.
I was there when it came out. The movie was set in the present at the time, but now, watching you, watching the film today, adds an all-new level of time travel.
Plus, that period will always be "my present."
You just made me fall in love with this movie all over again! Subbing and binging your content... can't wait to see you watch the rest of the trilogy!!
Aww thanks Joel! I really appreciate the support! I had so much fun watching this! (Not so much fun uploading cause utube was blocking me)HAHA
I will FOR sure watch 2&3!! It’s a must!
I've been watching your videos for a minute now, but I think this one is going to be a game changer for you. Amazing, amazing job. Congratulations.
About this film: If you listen to anyone who actually knows anything about filmmaking, scriptwriting, and all that jazz, they will tell you that this script was PERFECT! And I do mean perfect. This is truly and amazingly made film from all the technical standpoints. It's a classic classic and I'm in love with it. Good one. I'll be waiting for the next.
I’m going to read the script! Thanks for the support on my channel!! I really appreciate it!
@@holddowna I'd love to hear what you think of it if you get the chance. 🥰Thanks for being awesome!
I’m 41 and it still brings tears of joy every time I watch, plus I still have the back to the future beach towel from the time!! 😂
This is the best reaction I have seen for Back to the Future. I love your enthusiasm.
That reaction was an absolute treat! Your excitement is infectious! Back to the Future is an absolute icon, the whole trilogy. I hope this comment finds you before you've watched the second movie. WARNING: At the end of the 2nd movie, there's a trailer for the 3rd movie, so if you're looking to avoid spoilers, STOP THE PLAYBACK when you see "To Be Concluded..." on the screen.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
You shouldn't of said what it says at the end of the movie. The To Be..
@@upgradED32 Well I mean it's an established trilogy..
She is so intelligent and empathic, easily the best reaction I've seen to this movie.
It's just a trailer for the third movie, like any other commercial you might see to advertise a movie. If it's a spoiler, then every movie commercial ever made is a spoiler. It shows a few clips from a few scenes to get you excited to see the movie. That's it. You should experience part 2 just like everyone else did in 1989 and watch the trailer for part 3 and then get excited to watch it.
You made me so happy that you are watching this fresh for the first time! Such a beautiful reaction! I'm sure that the original filmmakers, cast and crew would be very touched by your sweet reaction to their story and their work!
I know I was!
I can't wait to see your reaction to the next one!!
✨❤️thanks JKOFlix!
I needed something light hearted after binging your reactions of Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down, this is perfect!
Easily one of the most sincere and genuine reactions I have seen for this movie! You are quickly becoming my favorite UA-camr!
Great catch recognizing the Mom from "Gremlins". The clock tower and Hill Valley set were also used for "Gremlins".
Some other fun trivia...
The time Einstein travels to, 1:21am is a reference to 1.21 gigawatts...Which Doc pronounces incorrectly. Kind of like how people argue about the correct way to say GIF.
Twin Pines Mall becomes Lone Pine Mall because Marty ran over a pine tree with the DeLorean.
Bob Gale came up with the idea for this movie after looking through his father's high school yearbook and wondering if he would have been friends with him.
Ahhh! This is amazing! I had just watched gremlins for the first time since I was a kid so I had the mom fresh in my memory!
Yeah, the "gigawatts" thing is unfortunate. These days most people know better because of gigabytes, but in the '80s I guess it was really only scientists and engineers who knew the correct pronunciation.
@@bigdream_dreambig I believe Bob Gale said he attended a lecture and the presenter kept pronouncing it wrong so he thought it would be funny to add that to the movie.
@@tonycorleone212 🤨 I'm skeptical. Not enough of the audience would be familiar enough with the prefix to know what was correct and what wasn't, so that'd be a very unappreciated joke.
@@bigdream_dreambig and this too...
Below is a transcript from the BTTF DVD commentary, Bob Gale (Writer/Producer of BTTF trilogy) explains about jigowatt.
Bob Gale: I should talk about "jigowatts" for a second.
The proper pronunciation, of course, is "gigawatts" [with a hard "G" sound], and when Bob [Zemeckis] and I were doing research, we talked to somebody who mispronounced it "jigowatts". We were actually completely unfamiliar with the term, and we thought that was how it was supposed to be said. It does come from the Greek 'gigas' [that Greek root is pronounced with a "J" sound, not a "G" sound], for gigantic, so I suppose it's not beyond the realm of possibility. But never having heard of it, we actually spelled it in the script "jigowatt". A "jigowatt" is actually supposed to be a gigawatt, a million watts.
Thank you for the Awesome worthy reaction to this film. I adore you for this . I saw this in the theater opening night when I was 16. The entire place cheered and clapped at the end. We’d never seen anything like it before. it was super popular from day 1 and a huge box office success! Michael J Fox was the starting character on a hit network sitcom at the time ( family ties) He filmed this on nights and weekends while he did his tv show. 🌠
Love your reactions and you are so good at predicting stuff!
Sometimes ! Lolol! Thanks for watching!
Loved your reaction to one of my favourite movies! Love the T-shirt, too! ;-) You got a new subscriber!
Great reaction! One of the great movies ever. So fun, clever and…timeless! ;-)
I was 7 yrs old in 1985 watching this film at home on VHS 📼 When Doc returned at the end to take them to the future, I thought ,,THIS WAS THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER if it continued ,,,,but then sadly realizing it was ending 😮 . When returning the VHS rental of Back to the Future, I immediately asked the surfer looking clerk , being from So. Cal, " if they had part 2" ?. The clerk replies, " they haven't made it yet dude 😮...
Now ,,the original ending read 'to be continued ' which made the cliffhanger freaking RADICAL... Why it got removed , beats me 🤷👎
one of the best reactions and editing for BTTF. great video Ames. glad to see the next two.
Wow thanks! Had to get past some copyright blocks! Thanks for watching !
@@holddowna yeah Ames. i know it is an hard work. that's why I appreciated it even more
I'm 54 years old. This is one of the most iconic movies from my childhood. Back when VHS was becoming popular. Watched it sooooo many times, but its been decades since I even thought about it. Thank you for this video....I even teared up watching u watch it, and I don't ever tear up.
Thank you.
I can't believe that after HP you're doing my second fav movie-series! Back to the Future films are all phenomenal with an outstanding cast. MJF is my childhood crush 🥰 I will be once again watching these with you❤
Thanks Tim! I’ve wanted to watch these for a while as I’ve never seen them! And I am so excited to share!
Nice comment ... and, well, also ... you're very pretty.
@@StevesFunhouse Thanks! :) English is not my first language, corrected it!
@@timimaksai8081 You're good. I figured as much😊. So, if you don't mind me asking, where are you from ... just curious ???
@@timimaksai8081 Comments removed !!!
Romancing The Stone was the movie that got this one green lit,Zemeckis and Bob Gale had been trying to get it made for years but was rejected by several studios who didn’t get it. Their first 2 movies underperformed and it wasn’t until RTS was a hit that Universal took a chance. It’s coo that a movie so iconic and beloved was thought of as a risk. And indeed it was so cool seeing this as a kid in the 80s
Wow!
Flight is another great one more of a drama not for everyone but Denzel Washington was very good in that.
I love how caught off guard you were with the ending. this move opened my mind to sci-fi as a kid
Seriously…
You crying tears of sheer joy to the final shot before credits had ME crying happy tears. I’ve always enjoyed this film (it’s seriously one of my BIGGEST comfort foods), but you just helped take that last scene to another level for me. Thank you! 🙏
I literalllly shocked myself! And slightly embarrassed! Hahaha but it was so magical!!!
I saw this in the theater when it first came out and and I was absolutely stunned. Trivia: there was never supposed to be a 2nd and 3rd sequel, that ending was supposed to be a gag but so many people wrote in and asked for a sequel they ended up making them!
On another interesting note, there was a 1st and a 2nd sequel, not a 2nd and 3rd. The 2nd movie was the 1st sequel. The 3rd movie was the 2nd sequel. Just saying.......
Thanks for your reaction. If you liked this one, you'll love part 2. A bit different & more tine travel. And part 3 is amazing as well--each one starts exactly where the previous one ends--You can watch all 3 as a single giant movie. But U won't tell more, no spoilers from me, because I don't want to ruin your experience. Have a nice day. And yess, got it about burnt toasts, greetings from Montreal.
I've seen several reactions, but yours is the first one that brought tears to my eyes. Your reactions were the same as mine, it's like I was watching it again for the first time. So I KNOW you're gonna love the rest of the ride, only being sad that it ended.
Thomas Wilson (Biff) is a very funny guy. He is so funny that when he participated in the Wing Commander III and IV cutscenes for videogames, other actors had problems to concentrate. Mark Hamill had a super serious character and he says that his job was extremely difficult because after each shot, Thomas used to throw a very funny gag.
Back to the future was his first role and he did not want to screw it up. It was his golden chance. When he was filming with the actor who was before Michael Fox, when they filmed the scene where Marty pushes Biff, Thomas ended up having bruces. One day the producer called him and told him he needed to talk face to face, no phone. Thomas went through every possible thing he could have done wrong. He had a long drive ahead and stress was killing him. Those were the most stressful moments in his life. Thomas thought he screwed it up and he was going to be fired.
When he arrived the producer told him that they needed to reshoot his scenes with Michael Fox, and Thomas asked if that time would be paid, and the producer said yes. Thomas asked and if there would be free lunches like before and they say yes. For Christopher Lloyd the replacement of the actor was not big deal.
Romancing The Stone was the movie that got this one green lit,Zemeckis and Gale had been trying to get BTTF made for a few years but was rejected by several studios who didn’t quite understand it. Their first 2 movies underperformed and it wasn’t til RTS was a hit that Universal took a chance. It’s funny that such a beloved and iconic film was seen as a risk
How ironic too it's arguably the best franchise ever made too
Not sure why I wrote that twice🤦🏻♂️
Great reaction! Glad you loved the movie. If you want something a bit more serious as far as time travel, try Time After Time. It's an older movie, made in the 70s, but a great thriller where HG Wells (who of course wrote the book The Time Machine) invents a time machine, and Jack The Ripper steals it to travel forward in time, and HG has to chase after him. A really great movie. Take care, be safe!
Cool! Have you seen predestination! I highly reccomend for time travel movies!
@@holddowna I have not, I'll check it out! love me a good time travel tale!
@@holddowna I actually have two copies of Time After Time on DVD, so if you can't find it, I'll send you a copy. :)
I haven't seen that film, but I recognized the plot because they tried to remake it into a TV series in 2017. It wasn't very good, so they cancelled it pretty quickly.
@@bigdream_dreambig Yeah, I remember that. If they could've captured the spirit of the movie, it might've been different. But the actors made the movie as much fun, and maybe even more so, than the book (the book Time After Time was written by Karl Alexander). Give the movie a shot.
Oh, you are going to love this series! And we are going to love you reacting to it!
I LOVED this series … doc touched my heart and I had too much fun!
Love your reacts! Such a good trilogy can’t wait for you too see the next two films!
The fun thing about Back to the Future 2 is seeing what things the sequel got right about 2015 and what things they got wrong! 😂 So I can't wait for your next reaction to the sequel.
I love how emotional you get with these movies, I've been watching these films since I was a kid and I watch this with you and start to get emotional just seeing your reaction. Love love this💚
I loved these films!!! “The future is what you make it”😭😭😭 thanks for watching with me!
@@holddowna So make it a good one!💚
I loved seeing you reacting to this movie. I am getting on a bit now and saw this whenn it was in the cinema (I was 30). I loved it, one of my all time favourite comedies, very clever and actually with a great attenton to detail, fantastic characters, truly a classic.
Good reaction.
We watch you react to our favorite movies. We like to see and hear our favorite parts that make the cut for show. However, it is very hard to watch. When your reactions are 2 to 5 times LOUDER than the parts that you overlay.
We can't hear our favorite parts we want to see. and you react to.
Hope, maybe you can do something about this. Maybe watch and listen to your videos. From a different source to see if you understand what I mean. Try to listen to the movie part.
This not meant to be disrespectful to you.
Regards, Rollerball
You had seen Death Becomes Her but not Back to the Future?
Don’t get me wrong, I love Death Becomes Her, but Back to the Future is far more part of the cultural zeitgeist.
I dunno, just never saw it
Amazing reaction! You’ve got a great personality!!!
Loved your reaction, tearing, when a legendary story ends, you feel it in body and head.
You're so beautiful ❤😍❤
A little advise, when you watch part 2, avoid the previews for part 3, they were too much of a spoiler. One of the things you may have missed in part 1, before Marty travels back in time, the mall was called "Twin Pines Mall" but because one of the "twin pines" was destroyed on Mr. Peabody's farm when Marty interacted with Mr. Peabody, when Marty gets back to 1985, the mall was called "Lone Pine Mall". The filming location for the mall was in reality Puente Hill Mall in southern California. My now ex-wife lived near that mall and I originally met her there.
The 80s movies were just magical. The special effects were really starting to come along, the writing, the stories and characters, I swear they're just better.
the golden age of practical effects before the abyss/jurassic park moved everything to cgi.
