      Yeah, they’ve been around for ~75 years. I remember when they started adding a gazillion area codes when I was a kid in the 90s. The town I grew up in got split between two area codes, so suddenly I had to remember which of my friends had what area code just to call them to find out what the day’s homework was, because my doofus ADHD brain would always forget to write it down lol. I guess it was easier for me to just keep track of the area codes. 😆

      I'm a screenwriter and actor. Trust me. People come up with these ideas. They just don't get made. There are no big, crowd-pleasing movies green-lit anymore that aren't an already established intellectual property. If it isn't a comic book, a reboot or a sequel, the studios are not interested, period.
      I had a meeting at the studio that made Back to the Future (Amblin) and when I talked about how amazing BTTF is and said they should do more movies like this the executive said "yeeeeeaaaaah, but you have to ask yourself, what would make that kind of movie relevant to today's teens? You'd need something to really make it edgy". In other words, executives don't understand movies, they don't understand what people want, and they absolutely will not make what people want. Bottom line: they're not fans. They're MBAs who spend their lives worrying about losing their jobs or being blamed for a flop.

    If you ever watch the movie again, you'll notice lots of little hidden Easter eggs - like the "Twin Pines Mall" becoming the "Lone Pine Mall" at the end of the movie (because Marty hit one of the pines with the DeLorean), the guy who says Marty's playing is "too darn loud" is the musician Huey Lewis (who performs many of the songs in the movie with his band "The News"), the porn theater in 1985 is playing the film "Orgy American Style" which stars George Flower - who plays the "bum" on the park bench -- plus about a hundred more scattered around. There are even more in the sequels.

His father grabs the bottle of Pepsi, and uses the built-in can opener on the vending machine to remove the cap and then hands it back to Marty.

    To me, the sign of a great movie is one that you can watch over and over and over again and still enjoy it. This is definitely one of those movies. I've literally seen it a hundred times and still love it just as much. That being said, I'm reminded of something that Roger Ebert the film critic once said about it: "I wish I could forget that I ever saw this movie so I could enjoy seeing it for the first time all over again." So true!

    So, a note on Doc learning about his invention early. I have a theory...that when Doc Brown learned that an invention in his head becomes reality, it changes his future. When Marty originally talks to the Doc in the twin pines parking lot, he mentions that he'll be able to know who wins the next few world series. This, coupled with the article at the very beginning of the movie that talked about the Brown Mansion being burned down as well as stealing from the lybians, leads us to realize he's probably not in n the best place financially. (Also, the Doc literally says he spent his entire family fortune on making the time machine)However, once he sees with his own eyes his flux capacitor, he realizes that this invention will work. This instills a new sense of direction in his life, leading him to make smarter choices in life, financially. In turn, Doc is no longer obsessed with money. We see this when Marty buys the almanac in the next movie and when Doc finds it, he deeply disapproves.

    That garage was Doc's garage from the original property. When he sold off the rest of it after the house was destroyed, it became Burger King and all those other stores, shopping centers, and restaurants.
    The good who told Marty he was too darn loud was Huey Lewis, of the band that sang the main theme song, "Power of Love."
    Every phone number in North America had an area code starting in 1947, but the proliferation first of fax numbers then cell phones didn't make shrinking area codes in order to duplicate numbers necessary until the '90s and after. When I was little, for a local number in town, you only had to dial the last 4 digits of the number to be connected. Eventually, you had to dial the last 7 digits of your phone number, and finally, all 10, sometimes with a 1 first.
    Suicide doors open backward. Those lift up, so they're gullwing doors.
    First, every lane of every gas station was like that, then only the Full Service lane not Self-Serve, then there only was Self-Serve.
    Pay phones in 1955 took nickels, which Marty used. By the '70s, they took dimes. By the time the movie came out, quarters.
    In the Back to the Future movies, Billy Zane had his own hair. By Titanic, it was a wig.
    An average person in California wouldn't have paid any attention to who was a senator in Massachusetts in 1955.
    You don't know Jackie Gleason??? You have to see some episodes of "Jackie Gleason: The Honeymooners, with the stars Art Carney, Audrey Meadows and Joyce Randolph!" It's a CLASSIC from the DuMont Television Network. You can also react to Gleason here watching the hit movie Smokey and the Bandit (1977), also starring Burt Reynolds and Sally Field. He also starred with Paul Newman in the drama The Hustler (1961), which was followed by a sequel, The Color of Money (1986) starring Newman and Tom Cruise. He also starred in The Toy (1982) with Richard Pryor, and Nothing in Common (1986) with Tom Hanks.
    When Marty arrived, the theater had an ad outside for Cattle Queen of Montana, starring Ronald Reagan & Barbara Stanwyck. Both later moved to TV; Stanwyck starred on The Big Valley, Reagan hosted General Electric Theater then Death Valley Days, before being elected governor of California after years being president of the Screen Actors Guild.
    Jerry Lewis was part of the comedy duo Martin & Lewis for years before striking out on his own making his own comedies, starring in 60 movies, including The Nutty Professor (1963). He also hosted The Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon from 1966 to 2010, which raised nearly $2.5 billion for muscular dystrophy research. You were thinking of Jerry Lee Lewis & Joe Louis.
    Superman used to say "Great Scott!" on the radio series throughout the '40s and again in the '60s when the same voice actor recreated the role for a TV series of animated cartoons.
    When Marty punches Biff in the diner, for a split second they used a shot of the original Marty McFly actor from the first 6 weeks of shooting, Eric Stoltz. Go back to that scene and slow it down and you might be able to tell when it's not Michael J. Fox.
    The script for this movie is taught in film schools as an example of fantastic, maybe even perfect, screenwriting.
    The entire American side of the Niagara Power project only generates about 2.5 gigawatts of electricity, at the most!
    Did you notice Twin Pines Mall at the beginning was Lone Pine Mall at the end, because Marty had run over one of them?
    This movie ended with no thought of ever making a sequel. They just wanted to end with one last joke.

    There were pencils in 1955, but nobody would ever use one for a letter. Pencils were for figuring or shopping lists, anything that wasn't permanent. Letters were intended to last, so they were written with ink, and since there were no ballpoint pens then, people wrote with ink pens, which is what Marty was using when he writes his letter. (The next step up was fountain pens, which contained cartridges full of ink that you just changed out instead of needing a bottle. From there, a semi-dry ink was invented and the ballpoint to go with it, which is the most common kind today.)

For example, in Last Action Hero (1993), the kid points out to Arnie's character that all of the phone numbers are 555 numbers, thus proving that they're in a movie. I'm not sure that I've seen a movie or show use a 555 number since. Instead, I've seen numbers that look more legitimate that I assume are either also set aside as non-working or maybe owned by the studios and just go nowhere or to an automated message (like "thanks for watching our movie" or something).

    Area codes have been around for a while... but back in the land line days, you didn't need to punch in the area code if they lived in the same area code as you. So if you are (818), you wouldn't need to dial the area code for any other (818) area codes, but if you call any other area code, you had to dial "1" first, then the area code, then the 7 digit number.

    I still say the parent's, specifically George, purchased the truck for Marty as a "thank you" for helping him with his life since he remembers. A little hint is that George says the same quote to Marty while giving his book to him "if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!"

    • @slchance8839

      If its 30 years between 198 and 1955 and Marty is 16, that means it was 14 years between the Enchantment Dance and Marty's birth.....for a total of about 2 years until Marty's face started to look like Calvin's face. That's a stretch.
      So...that's about 24 years between seeing Calvn in 1955 and Marty's FACE in 1985 (assuming marty didnt look like he was 16 years old when he was 4 years old, or 6, or 10, or 11)
      I went to my 25 year high school reunion and I couldnt remember my Prom date, despite the fact that she hardly changed. I just couldnt remember her face, despite the fact that I was crazy about her and we dated for 2 months.

      I think that they just purchased the truck for him when he turned 16 because they could afford it, as most parents who can afford it do. As for the line about putting your mind to it, I think that that was to show us that Marty is responsible for motivating his dad and turning the family's fortunes around.

    Tom Holland based his portrayal of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man movies on Marty McFly. That's why they seem so similar. It was intentional.
    Area codes were around LONG before the 2000's. They are nothing new, and they are not a recent invention. Before the days of unlimited cell phone plans, calling outside your area code was more expensive than local phone calls, so people often avoided it when they could. If you made a local call within your area code, it wasn't even necessary to dial the area code. That's why the use of area codes might seem like a new thing. And now with cell phones and smartphones, there are more area codes than before. Just because people didn't use something often or just because there wasn't previously as many of something, that doesn't mean that it's new.

    It's interesting watching this movie reaction today -- hadn't really thought about this: That JVC camcorder "worked" for Marty to hook up to Doc's TV, because in 1985, the TV connectors/technology wasn't really that different yet [30 years difference], but, today, say... he'd have recorded that whole video on an iPhone, and good luck trying to hook that up to a 1950's TV. (granted, i spose they'd just watch it on the iPhone) ... maybe nevermind this. :) Mostly saying that our tech change from 1985 to now has broken the idea of hooking up the "modern thing" with the "old thing"

    3. Eric Stoltz was first cast as Marty, but he didn't play well with others and was fired. Some of his long shots are still in the movie.
    4. The flammable material set on fire with the model exercise had to have been put there on purpose.
    5. It's always fun to see how people react to the Marty and his mom car scene. 🤣
    6. George McFly/Crispin Glover didn't like that the story ended with the family being prosperous.
    7. IMVHO part II is the best of the trifecta.

    By my second grade, in 1958, we were required to use fountain pens for essays or reports. Ink cartridges had replaced ink wells for the ink, but fountain pens with a bulb that you squeezed (like an eye dropper) were still being sold. Pencils have been around for a couple of hundred years, but they were only allowed for math assignments. Ball point pens were still pretty crude and globs of ink would collect on the tips and eventually end up as smudges on the paper. The movie was spot on almost everything.
