All of the great icons of the 1980's ended up disgraced or embarrassing in their private lives but us 80's kids still have Michael J Fox, one of the only great icons who is also a great human being in life.

Something a love about Marty McFly is that he’s so dorky, yet he has so many cool moments like this. He’s what every awkward skinny teenage boy wishes they were.

The music makes riding a skateboard sounds awesome

[NixDarkLord]

This series of movies was something else... the actors portraying themselves three times

This movie is really close to my heart. Such lovable characters, interesting story, gripping screenplay, brilliant fusion of sci-fi and comedy with great attention to detail. I still remember, when I watched it for the first time in high school, I literally cried at the scene where george and Lorraine finally kiss. Love you Robert zemeckis sir and hats off to all the cast and crew. ❤️

Nobody in the 1950s had seen a skateboard before, since they wouldn’t be sold in stores until the early 1960s — Marty McFly obviously gave history a push in the right direction!

2:05 badass escape and 2:11 best Karma

[raccoon.]

Him waving at the cafe is my favorite part

[AJ-lzlr]

Crazy how intense this scene actually is, "Im gonna ram him" like he has no problem casually murdering someone

0:03 I love how the jukebox immediately stopped playing. It’s like someone saw Biff and his gang outside and decided to unplug the jukebox right then because they knew something big was about to go down.

I feel so honoured to have been born in this year. :)

My Bday is 19th of February 1985. A commercial airplane fell out of the sky and almost crashed (China Airlines Flight 006). Real story.

Man this movie from the 1980’s really brings me the best nostalgia memories or moments from the past before.

Marty's mom (Lea Thompson) was absolutely 🔥

Skateboarding, as it exists today, was probably born sometime in the late 1940s, or early 1950s, when surfers in California wanted something to do when the waves were flat. This was calles "sidewalk surfing" -- a new wave of surfing on the sidewalk as the sport of surfing became highly popular. No one knows who made the first board; it seems that several people came up with similar ideas at around the same time.

2:29 you can here a lady in the crowd say “Marty” but its very faint

[Meltymorty]

This whole trilogy will never get old Robert Zemeckis created a masterpiece

[taajwarpope]

This scene reminds me of One Jump Ahead from Aladdin 1992, which became a reference to the smelly fertilizer.

The most enticing chase scene 🎬 in a Robert Zemeckis movie along with Forrest Gump
