Same here. I've been a huge Back to the Future fan since I was just a little kid too, and my opinion has remained the same even with the amazing Lord of the Rings saga.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I think Star Wars is probably at least as good in terms of quality, but I definitely grew up on Back to the Future. They're practically ingrained into my brain. I have a friend who likes them as much as I do, and I think we once wasted 30 minutes just quoting lines back and forth to each other.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I bet this will come out in conjunction with the theatrical release of BTTF4.....;)

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I feel like it's late 2001/all of 2002 all over again!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Really? I always loved the preview. I remember when I saw it at midnight on opening night and that came at the end, I COULDN'T WAIT to see the third one. So seeing it now, I am reminded of how I felt in November 1989.

I know that when they show Part II on the HD channels, it is gone. I hope it is on the Blu-ray versions.

< Off Topic Alert > Part II doesn't always bring up good memories for me... I was working at a movie theater at the time and I was elected to change the marquees outside. I had to use was the stupid suction cup pole and because it was below freezing, the letters would not stick to the pole. I cracked about 4 or 5 letters trying to get them to suction. FINALLY after a few hours, the manager let me take a break and sent me and two girls to go get hot chocolate. Somehow, we ended up back at one of the girl's house and as we drank our hot chocolate, they both kept telling me how much they wanted to "take advantage of me" but couldn't because I was only 16 (they were 18). Being the stupid naive kid I was, I didn't press the issue or make a move on either of them. So Kris and Stacy... if you are reading this... sorry I was so stupid and didn't pick up on your hints. I'd be telling a MUCH BETTER story right now if I had. :(

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

This story should be on the Blu-Ray.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I really like the fact that they're doing new interviews. Looks like they are really putting effort into this release and not just releasing with the same old extras and subpar PQ *cough*LOTR*cough*. :)

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

You better go BACK and fix this! Get the Flux Capacitor ready as Darth needs two rectify his past.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Well, good news I tracked down Kris and Stacy:

Consider it a bullet dodged my friend.

Nasty!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Oh God, this should be immediate banishment!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Gizmo, I have never laughed so hard while hating someone so much in all my life.

For that, I thank you.

Also, the BTTF is all my time favorite trilogy as well. The trilogy as a whole has gotten more spins in my DVD player than anything else I own.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I thought this would be more news about the BRD release.

Shameful.

:lol:

The HD Room is reporting that a Canadian release is planned this Fall.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Back to the Future videogames are being released this winter, I wouldn't be surprised if they released the trilogy on Blu Ray at the same time.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Oct/Nov release is very likely. We will know next week anyway as they will probably announce the date when they show the game at E3. Or they might just wait to see what Paramount does with Indy...as it wouldn't be wise to release a hit 80's Trilogy the same week.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Oh my God! That sounds awesome! I can't wait to see those games!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

And Jurassic Park games... nice.

I think this is going to be a good year.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Jurassic Park still a possibility for this yr?

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Can't wait to get the trilogy on Blu, by far my favorite series of movies ever. Also video games!? Hell yes I've been wanting a good game (or games) based on the trilogy for the longest time can't wait!!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

:up: Bring it on in Blu!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Kirsten Dunst & Eliza Dushku as Cheerleaders in HD :drool:

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

LOVE that movie, but you have to admit it would probably be at the BOTTOM of Universal's Blu-ray catalog titles to upgrade. :lol:

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Honestly, I disagree. They wouldn't have made four DTV sequels if Bring It On wasn't one of their most consistent, popular catalog titles.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

and one of them was actually released on Blu-ray. We'll see the original film eventually (maybe sooner if "Hellcats" does well on the CW).

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I think with the games they should do what they did with Ghostbusters and make a "sequel" through a video game. Since BTTF4 is never going to happen see if they can get all the actors together and make a video game sequel. How awesome would that be??

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I was thinking the same thing...in fact, I wish they did this with more franchises. The GHOSTBUSTERS game was a lot of fun and it "felt" like the third movie we never got (and probably never will).

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

It's official! Back To The Future Trilogy on Blu Ray - October 26!!!

Big thumbs up all around. Looking forward to these.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Sounds good, glad to see there not just Bare-Bones

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Damn, it still looks like no Eric Stolz footage. :(

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

Stolz won't allow it.

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

From Bob Gale--

"I’m sure fans will enjoy the new documentaries, which include interviews with cast and crew members who — for budgetary reasons — were left out of the 2002 documentaries…So there are some stories and anecdotes told on camera for the first time. And since everyone wants to know, there are three very brief snippets of Eric Stoltz incorporated into one of the documentaries."

There ya go!

re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
 

I really hope that Bob Gale quote about the great transfer without DNR is accurate - with Universal it's a real crapshoot. Either way I'm pretty damn excited for this one. Getting it day 1 for sure.
