Back to the Future (film)/Heartwarming

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Part I

  • I loved the little moment just after George knocked Biff through the ringer, then kindly asks Lorraine if she's alright. It's just so cute!

George: Are you okay?
Lorraine: (silently nods)

    • And the way they walk off together! CUUUTE!
  • George was hopelessly losing the fight until Biff pushed Lorraine to the ground and laughed at her. Seeing her humiliated turned out to be George's Berserk Button, proving that despite his earlier behaviour, he genuinely loved her. Heck, he only stood up to Biff in the first place because she begged him to.
  • Finding out that Doc really did use Marty's advice.

Marty: What about all that talk...about screwing up future events? The space-time continuum?
Doc: Well, I figured, what the hell.

  • Marty's time spent bonding with Past!George was surprisingly endearing.

Part II

  • I always loved the fact that what started everything in the second movie was the fact that Doc wanted to save his friend's (Marty) future family. I found that rather endearing.
  • The reason Marty was so devastated over the loss of his father in the new timeline? He'd recently gotten to know his old man better for a week. In that time he learned how much they had in common, and that they were both insecure teens.
  • My personal favorite from this movie was something I didn't even notice the first time through. When Marty talks to Old Biff in the Cafe 80's and Biff makes fun of "Marty Jr." for having a complete loser as a father, Marty reflexively insists George Mc Fly is no loser (as he very well knew after the first movie). Biff's immediate response is: "I'm not talking about George Mc Fly!" He could have made fun of George as well (as in "Well, yeah, him too, but I meant Marty Senior") if he'd wanted to, and it's glossed over with all the rest of the future antics, but I thought it was really sweet that deep down, cranky Old Biff truly respected George Mc Fly.

Part III

  • Doc's reaction to seeing Marty in 1885.

Doc: Marty, I gave you explicit instructions not to come here but to go directly back to 1985.
Marty: I know, Doc. But I had to come.
Doc: But it's good to see ya, Marty.

  • Emmett and Clara at the telescope.

Clara: I think the lens may be out of alignment, because if you move it this way, the image turns fuzzy, see? (moves closer to Emmett) But if you turn it ... the other way...
Doc: (gazing at Clara) ...everything becomes - clear.
