Most of the points are lame, but the one about Confident/Successful George hiring Washed-up Loser Biff to be his lackey/butler/whatever has been giving me the creeps since the first time I saw the movie. Dude, the guy tried to rape your wife 25 years ago, and you decide to not just hire him, but to hire him in a capacity in which he basically hangs around your wife and kids all the time?

Time travel is quite simple. If you EVER manage to go back in time, well then you can't change the past in your own life. You'll just arrive in another parallel universe with 2 of you. And the other guy will ALWAYS meet you and in that universe. That way of history can't be changed too. There are an infinite number of universes and each universe is an option that you could do in life. So everything that can happen, happens, but in another universe.

What's with all the negativity about the video? I didn't laugh out loud, but I thought it was actually kind of funny. Maybe some of you aren't able to concentrate outside of your feeble short attention span little minds. Or is it just cool to be so cynical about everything?

How could it be horrifying? It introduced us to self-tying, Nike Hyperdunks!

Best part of the movie is the car park sign for Twin Pines Mall becoming the Lone Pine Mall because Marty knocked over one of the pine trees when he first goes back to 1955.
