'The Power of Love' scene from Back to the Future (1985)

[JWheel]

“Well, history’s gonna change.”

Marty doesn't realize how right his words will be.

It's almost 2020 and this kid is still the coolest kid I'd want to be in high school.

Name a more '80s opening than a high schooler yelling, "Damn, I'm late for school!" as "The Power of Love" starts to play.

The famous scenes are always interesting no matter how many times I watch them, and I can't believe it was nearly 40 years ago, so I want to go back to those days!

Seeing this as a kid made me think that riding on a skateboard while holding onto the back of cars would be a common occurrence when I got older.

Wow, every single scene is a set-up for a scene later in the movie. It's great.

That scene when Marty FINALLY gets to kiss Jennifer and the music starts and he looks down seeing the "I Love You!" Its Pure Movie Magic! Michael J Fox just nailed the facial reactions. Perfection.

Even though I missed the 80’s by over a decade I still adore just how 80’s this one scene is

“I’m afraid you’re just too darn loud. Next please!” -Huey Lewis. This is one of the best movies from the 1980s.

The one dislike was Principal Strickland.

[nicegan]

"Yea, well history is gonna change." Ive always loved that line.

[AlexDeLarge]

The 80’s when every thing seemed to make sense and cool! I miss it so...

[smitj]

This film. May it never be remade. This is perfection in every sense of the word.

[mjan]

Marty McFly is the kind of kid that you'd wanna hang out with in high schoolbecause he seems so cool and really fun to be with who won't be a bully.

The way Marty was looking at Jennifer when she was writing the number and the way Jennifer was smiling when Marty was auditioning is the most natural physical expression in Cinematic history

[ausgamecollector]

This is one of the most non-toxic comments sections on YouTube. It goes to show the positive impact BTTF left, one of the best movies ever made.

One of my favorite opening scenes of all time. The song always gets me pumped and excited for the movie, and seeing Marty skateboarding, hitching a ride on the back of the vehicles and waving at the people in town is still so cool after all this time. I really wish I was able to go to school in style through a nice little small town like that! Also, i love seeing that vintage Burger King next to Doc's place, and I wish Burger King restaurants still looked like that. Man, the 80s seemed like such a cool time!

I wasn’t alive when this movie came out but it won’t stop me from having it as my favourite movie of all time

[caitlinjane]

0:27 That music cue always gives me goosebumps. I'm so happy that this movie was one of my first movies I watched in my teen years. I'm gonna make sure when my kids are 13 that the first teen movie they watch is this one.

I just love the way marty is looking at Jennifer when she's writing the phone number
