At work we’ve got some discussion folders that give lots of a people a chance to waste time when they should be working. I’m kind of surprised they still exist with over 2000 employees, but you won’t hear me complaining. Today I was reminded why the Back to the Future movies are some of my most favorite ever.

Marty went into the past the first time accidentally when he was being chased by the Libyans, and he was sent back to 1985 by Doc from 1955.  Then he and doc and Jennifer went into the future to fix the future (because apparently they couldn’t just put it on a to do list), then they went back to 1985, but it was altered, so they figured out that they had to go back to 1955 to fix the evil 1985 that future Biff made when he gave young Biff the Gray’s sports almanac, then Doc accidentally got struck by lightning and went to 1885, then Marty found the time machine in a cave and went back to 1885 to get Doc, then Marty and Jennifer went back to the regular (more or less) 1985 and the Delorean was crushed by a train, then Doc came to 1985 after he had apparently converted a steam engine into a time machine with the 1885 equivalent of today’s technology.

If ever there were an airtight plot, that’s it.

I love how he fit that all into two sentences. Seriously though, the DVD trilogy with special features is awesome. And who doesn’t love Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly?
