Back to the Future

"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious shit."

"Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!"

"I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available in every corner drugstore, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by."

"Great Scott!"

"Since you're new here, I-I'm gonna cut you a break, today. So, why don't you make like a tree and get outta here?"

"Meet Marty McFly. He's broken the time barrier. Busted his parents' first date. And, maybe, botched his chances of ever being born."

"17-year-old Marty McFly got home early last night. 30 years early."

"Marty McFly just broke the time barrier. He's only got one week to get it fixed."

"Marty McFly's having the time of his life. The only question is—what time is it?"

"He was never in time for his classes... He wasn't in time for his dinner... Then one day... he wasn't in his time at all."

"Bumping into your parents is no big deal unless you bump into them before you were born."

"He's the only kid ever to get into trouble before he was born."

"Hello? Anybody home? Think McFly, Think!"

"Marty McFly has just come between the most unlikely couple in high school... His parents."

"Marty McFly's future is catching up with him."

"Marty McFly took a spin in a new sports car last night. But he never got past '55. 1955."

"The story of a young man with a great future behind him."

"Marty's parents were destined to meet in 1955. Until Marty dropped in from the future."

"Before rock and roll , Before diet soda , Before designer jeans , running shoes and video games… One boy had a vision of what was to come — because he had just been there."

"I cannot imagine what kind of callous moron could possibly see anything in being a victim of bullying. Maybe the idea comes from our cultural propaganda, where the bullied nerd, like Back to the Futures McFly, always fights back in the triumphant climax, becomes a stronger person for it, and goes on to be a successful patron of a nuclear family, while the bully winds up washing his car. Bullying, in our cultural propaganda, is simply a dramatic plot device which the hero overcomes. Rarely, if ever, is it represented as it really works- as something privately eating away at kids, flat and uninteresting, and never overcome."

"Bob Zemeckis and I had written three movies together, and we had always wanted to do a time-travel story. We'd just never figured out how. What turned the light on for me was coming across my dad's old high-school yearbook and thinking, "Would we have been friends if we'd been at school together?" All of us have that revelation when we understand that our parents were young once, too. That's a big moment. Then there is the message that we all have control over our destinies. I thought we could dramatise those two things."

"I think the first film resonates so well with audiences because of the element of wish-fulfilment at its heart. We've all said to ourselves, "I wish I could go back in time and change something" or, "If only I could do that over again.""
