Happy Back to the Future Day, the absolute perfect day to watch the Back to Future movies online. October 21st is, of course, the day that Marty McFly went back 30 years and almost stopped himself from being born. Confusingly it's also the day he went to the hoverboard riding future... of 2015 (scary, right?). Now come on, where we're going we don't need roads.
It's always a good time to watch Robert Zemeckis' classic Back to the Future trilogy but now you have a perfectly good excuse. Back to the Future day (and this weekend) is an ideal time to get your family together and watch Doc and Marty make a mess. You may have seen it a few times before, but get the whole family on the couch and enjoy, trust me your kids are gonna love it.
Many consider the original to be a rare example of a perfect movie, a cocktail of comedy, action, and sci-fi but the other two installments also have their merits. Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox have an incredible dynamic as the eccentric Doc Brown and the earnest Marty McFly but it was so nearly different. Actor Eric Stoltz was originally set to play McFly but reportedly didn't see the movie as a comedy and played it straight down the line. Thankfully, in our timeline, Fox got the part.
