Whoa! Wait a minute, Doc.... Back To The Future Turns 29 Today?!
Well! If our calculations are correct, this 80s hit and one of the most loved and infamous flicks ever will hit a cool 29 years old today....now just don't we all feel old! eeeeek
.
Taking the world by storm today (in the US of A) back in 1985, this true 80s icon has become far more than just a film, it has become a movie empire sparking a whole generation of movie lovers to fall in love with McFly, the Doc and of course...the beloved DeLorean!

Marking an anniversary with BTTF is a tricky one. There has been a number of hoaxes over the years with dates changed and what not, but sadly the first date they travel to still hasn't happened but it's not far away!
With sooo many different dates being associated with these three films, we thought we would lay them out for all to see as well a remind ourselves of their travels and adventures along the way.
Take a look at some of the key moments in this hit film...
Oct. 25, 1985: This is the date on which the original Back to the Future film opens.
Oct. 26, 1985: The first leap in time only involves Doc's dog, Einstein, traveling one minute ahead, from 1:21 AM on that date until 1:22 AM. Doc intends to travel to Oct. 26, 2010, but is gunned down before he gets the chance.
Nov. 5, 1955: Marty jumps in the DeLorean and travels back to this date -- the date Doc first envisioned the flux capacitor -- that Doc Brown had set it to when he was demonstrating how the time machine worked. Marty then spends one week in 1955, returning to the future on Nov. 12, 1955 at 10:04 PM.
Oct. 26, 1985: Marty, with the help of young Doc and a lightning strike, returns to the date he left, at 1:24 AM.
Oct. 21, 2015: Doc warns Marty that there are a few problems with his kids, so they must go to the future to correct a situation. Of note: The film Jaws 19 plays at the local movie theater. And the Chicago Cubs sweep Miami, whose logo is not a marlin but an alligator swinging a bat, to win the World Series.
Nov. 12, 1955: An old Biff Tannen, mortal enemy to the McFlys, steals the DeLorean to take the 1950-2000 Sports Almanac -- that Marty bought for himself but Doc forbid -- to his younger self in 1955.
