There is H.G. Wells's The Time Machine, there is Ray Bradbury's A Sound Of Thunder, there is Robert Zemeckis's BACK TO THE FUTURE. The three great time-traveling stories of our... uh, time.
I'm proud to say one of them is from my time, my generation.
We live in an age when BACK TO THE FUTURES HAS become a legedary movie, referenced in hundreds, if not thousands of books, movies, comedies, , social icons, Doc Emmett Brown and MArty McFly have become so well,k-known we don't even realize when we are citing them, or borrowing phrases, or concepts from the movie any more. embedded in modern culture.
much-loved lodestars of tim-traveling expermeinces - refeind in DONNIE DARKO, the Simpsons, music videos,
not just part of our culture, but our vernacular. we all know what the phrase means becasue it is linked indubitably with th emovie and the great feelings of fun the movie crated, even though it makes no sense as a phrase by itself.
To illustrate how popular: even that imbecile "comedian" John Caparulo whose act is based around ignorance, makes a reference to "88 miles per hour" in his "act."
when fox is called chicken "don't call me chickedn" is that a ref to REGBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE?
most amazing ators in this series are Crispin glover, Lea Thompson and Thomas J. Wilson - those three actors really make us believe they are two, three, sometimes, four different characters or younger or older versions of themselves.
It's such a good move that for a brief moment in time (pun intended) it made everyone think Huey Lewis and the News were a good band.
CHECK THESE FACTS:
turned fox into household name
#1 at box office 8 weeks summer 1985, highest grossing movie of year.
One of the best trilogies ever
BTTF II: It actually foreshadows events in BTTF III.
BTTF II: For someone who says you shouldn't intrude on any part of history, Doc Brown sure is intruding BAD WORD on Marty's son's future, replacing him with MArty to tell biff 'no'.
