Welcome back to the 1980's. Remember how much fun the decade of the 80's was? Remember the tv shows, the movies, the tunes, the trends, the fads, etc. Remember who shot J.R. on "Dallas"? It was Kristen Sheppard. This is the room for you to kick back, relax, and tell us what you remember about the 80's and if there's anything you wish was still around...

Back To The Future

ok this is a 2 part question about the "Back To The Future" trilogy, so please answer both questions.

1. When you found out there was another movie coming out, were you excited about it or were you bummed because you had to wait for the next movie to come out?

2. Which Back To The Future movie was your favorite and why?


My answers: I didnt see the movies when they came out in the movie theater because I thought it was more of a guy movie like "Star Trek", but that was until I watched them on tv. I liked them very much. Then I got them on VHS and later on, on DVD.

I didn't see them in order, I saw them in this order: 3, 1, and 2. But I saw all of them. Part 2 was definitely my favorite because I thought it was more adventureous.

i knew someone who was going to be in back to the future the first one but their lines were cut or something. no one expected it to be a hit at all. when it did come out, i saw it in the movies and i loved it, was pleasantly surprised kind of thing.

back to the future 3 was my favorite because it provided all the conclustions and it was cool how they used the train and they had kids and a dog etc., the professor i mean. it was also cool how the main character also changed in the future again.

I liked the first one best. Everything got too complicated as two and three progressed. The rest were too convoluted. And the whole ridiculousness of the character always freaking out when he was called "chicken" was stupid and annoying.

I have happy memories of watching the first movie, the Hughey Lewis theme and hearing that a lot during my freshman year of high school.

Love Love Love Back to the Future. It's one of my favorite movies. Was so excited about the sequel til I saw it. Barf! Does anyone know what role Hughey played in the first movie? He was one of the teachers (the one who did any speaking) and said Marty' band couldn't play in the show.

"Sorry guys, you're just too darn loud."

Poor Marty.

It was Huey Lewis who said the line, "Sorry guys, you're just too darn loud." His hair style there and the glasses make him look different.

I thought the first one was the best and I did enjoy the second movie, but I wasn't too crazy over the third one. It was okay, but that's it - not as good as the first two in my opinion.

I may have been a little harsh. I just didn't think the sequel was great. It had some good ideas, but it was confusing. And I din't like the new "Jennifer".

I liked the first Back to the Future movie the best. I enjoyed how the expressions and norms from the 80's were so alien and strange to the people from the 50's. I don't think that people from that 80's would have as much trouble dealing with a person from the 10's even through it is still a 30 year difference. I want my Mr. Fusion!

The other movies were good, but basically followed the same story line very closely so I didn't enjoy them as much. Whatever movie they were in, I did really enjoy Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd's performances together. They were a great team!
