Our favorite time traveling duo is turning forty today, and to celebrate, we’re looking back at the twelve greatest quotes from 1985’s Back To The Future.
1.
“If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour… you’re gonna see some serious shit.”
– Dr. Emmett Brown

Marty McFly: Whoa. Wait a minute, Doc. Are you trying to tell me that my mother has got the hots for me?
Dr. Emmett Brown: Precisely.
Marty McFly: Whoa. This is heavy.
Dr. Emmett Brown: There’s that word again. “Heavy.” Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?

Great Scott!

Marty McFly: Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Doc. Ah… Are you telling me that you built a time machine… out of a DeLorean?
Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
5.
Marty McFly: Calvin? Wh… Why do you keep calling me Calvin?
Lorraine Baines: Well, that is your name, isn’t it? Calvin Klein? It’s written all over your underwear.

“No! Marty! We’ve already agreed that having information about the future can be extremely dangerous. Even if your intentions are good, it can backfire drastically! Whatever you’ve got to tell me, I’ll find out through the natural course of time.”
– Dr. Emmett Brown

I g-guess you guys aren’t ready for that yet. But your kids are gonna love it.

“Oh. One other thing. If you guys ever have kids, and one of them, when he’s eight years old, accidentally sets fire to the living room rug… go easy on him.”
– Marty McFly

“Dear Dr. Brown. On the night that I go back in time, you will be shot by terrorists. Please take whatever precautions are necessary to prevent this terrible disaster. Your friend, Marty.”
– Marty McFly

Lorraine Baines: Marty, don’t be such a square. Everybody who’s anybody drinks.
Marty McFly: Jeez! You smoke, too?
Lorraine Baines: Marty, you’re beginning to sound just like my mother.
11.
Lorraine Baines: Wait a minute. Don’t I know you from somewhere?
George McFly: Yes. Yes. I’m George. George McFly. I’m your density. I mean, your destiny.
12.
Marty McFly: Hey, Doc, we better back up. We don’t have enough road to get up to 88.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.
