way more Helter Skelter.

July 3, 1985 - 2025: 40 years of: Back To The Future.

When then becomes now.

In the wackiest string of movie-flicks, from E.T. to Footloose to Ghostbusters, one special / spacial adventure shall takes us back, way back.

"HEY McFLY !" After a serious bump on the head, Doctor Brown would create a time-machine ...out of a DeLorean sport car. Showing his new device to Marty, the latter would inadvertently become the world's first human time-traveler. Transported back in 1955, Marty tries to keep his calm, hunts down a 30 years younger Doc, tries to return to 1985 ...but unwillingly runs into his parents.

A fun story of love, adventure and a little bit of sci-fi, made Back To The Future not only 1985's top box-office draw, but also launched one of the hippest action-packed 80s trilogy. After NBC's talking car in Knight Rider, people now swarmed their local dealership asking for plutonium-powered time-machines.

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU !!! ...88 MILES PER HOUR !!!" Now part of 80's lexicon, Back To Future is forever synonymous with: America's Golden Age, DMC DeLorean cars, flux capacitor, Johnny B. Goode, skateboard, gigawatts ...and Edward Van Halen. Huey Lewis's muscular collaboration with the kick-ass track "The Power Of Love", also injected poprock cool into the hot mix. Another 80s staple.

The next voyage shall literally go forward into the future, on 1989's Back To The Future II.
