Which was your favourite movie?
What was your favourite scene?
If you could choose a car (any make/model) to travel into/back to the future, what's your ride?

...I don't think I'll get in too much trouble if I say the first one is the best. It's just kind of a perfect movie, like 'Jaws' or 'Willow'. I haven't sat through the second or third BttF flicks in ages----------they're far lesser creatures.

I don't know that I'd do any time-traveling; the past is full of barbarians, and the future is replete with jerks in dumb clothes. Plus it just seems like lousing up the timeline is an inevitability----------if a smart savvy guy like Marty can't make it ten minutes in 1955 without causing a 'whoops missus! prevented my parents from ever meeting!' paradox, then a bozo like me would be screwed. "Dangit! I just wanted to take a selfie with Antony and Cleopatra while all of us were wearing big foam cowboy hats, and then I accidentally sneezed on a butterfly, and now I've returned to the present to find that mammals as we know them never evolved! Everyone is a scary Innsmouth frog-o-loid, and most of them are draculas, too! Boy, is my face red."

One of my favorite movie franchises. I'd go with the first as well. Time travel is fascinating because you can pretty much take the characters wherever you want. Even if there's only like a 38% chance of time travel actually being possible.

What could go wrong? How much worse could things actually get?

I'd go with the first one as well, I suppose. They're all great though.

Too bad we never got any good games out of the series. TellTale's was the "best" but only actually decent.

It's unanimous so far... I like the first one the most, as well.

I don't know if I'd time travel, but if it was in a 1951 Hudson Hornet, I just might be convinced!!! ;)

"Back to the Future Part II"

(does not have one favorite (or "favourite") scene)

(imagines choosing a car based on the machine a certain character had used to visit certain times in a certain movie named "The Time Machine" (a favorite (or "favourite") of mine) I had believed was originally released in the calendar year 1960)

^Ok, manipulable time travel, then. :-P

I love 1 (favorite scene: the clock tower sequence) & 2 (favorite scene: Marty fanboying over getting to see George KO Biff), but 3 is still pretty good (favorite scene: Marty inventing the bullet-proof vest).

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
