I recently re-watched the entire Back to the Future trilogy. The second two installments hold up well and while I have always liked them, I have grown to appreciate them more over the years. The first installment, however, is in another league entirely. It's an amazingly well constructed movie, not a wasted scene or throwaway set up to be found, and the humor and performances are top notch. It's up there with Groundhog Day as one of the greatest comedies of all time, in my opinion.
Thank you to comics historian and Patron of this Blog, Marc Tyler Nobleman, for suggesting this concept and pairing!

I agree it was better than the followers, but I wished Marty's bedroom was at least a little different at the movie's end new timeline. Everyone was successful so it should have been different as well.
In an Elseworld issue , a jealous Captain Marvel destroyed a post-apocalyptic Earth by repeatedly say "Shazam!", with the resulting lightning strikes.
@my namesake: jealous that someone else finally won on "Beat Shazam?"
;-D
BTTF3 has one of my favorite movie lines ever: "She was one in a googolplex." (As far as I'm aware that's the only time the word "googolplex" has ever been spoken in a movie.)
Who I'd really like to see Doc and Marty meet, though, would be the Doctor (Doctor Who). I even once wrote an audio skit where they meet the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker).
On another topic entirely (well, mostly), Top 10 Nerd (on YouTube) recently posted a video on the Top 10 Worst Superhero Costumes You Wish You Could Forget. A while back, when you posted a team-up of Wonder Man and Tyroc on that general subject, several of us suggested a team of sartorial disasters (I offered the Sixth Doctor as a member). That video has some great fodder for that group. I especially like Captain Ultra (I'm adding him to my list of potential cosplays).
Bob, they met the Doctor in STF #2296.
So they did. That's what I get for not checking.
Such a winning cover! Although I have to add, Part 2 is actually my favorite of the trilogy. To each their own, right?
Given how the Delorean was destroyed in BTTF3, I can only hope any attempt at a fourth film would have the time travelers utilizing a modified General Motors Firebird Mark II.*
*A concept car of the 1950's that was designed to resemble a delta-winged fighter jet, built to seat a family of four, and powered by a gas turbine engine.
The 40s-50s Captain Marvel would have helped them cheerfully with exactly that smile.
While the 1960's indie Capt. Marvel would've simply told them to split.

@jrp04f: Indeed, yes!
