21. Doc Brown swinging from the clock tower.
The climatic scene in 1955 with Doc dangling from one of the hands on the Hill Valley Clock tower seconds before it is struck by lightning never fails to put a big stupid grin on your face.
No matter how many times you see it, theres still that moment of doubt that the good Doctor wont re-connect the wires in time to harness the lightning into the DeLorean to send Marty back to the future but alas he always does and alls well again. Its a brilliant scene that always warms the cockles.
22. Huey Lewis has a cameo!
Im afraid youre just too darn loud
Need I say more? I dont care what anyone says,
'Huey Lewis and the News' are a great band (more on that later) and the main man himself cameos as a stuffy judge at the Battle of the Bands auditions, ironically uttering the above line as Marty belts out one of Lewis own songs on his guitar.
23. It was made in the 80s.
Lets be honest, all the best stuff is from the 80s.
24. The Hill Valley Clock Tower
An instantly recognisable movie landmark, even though the 'Back to the Future' Hill Valley square set has been used in many other TV and film productions it will always be Hill Valley.
Looming over the picturesque little square is the clock tower central to the plot of 'Back to the Future', the clock tower also makes appearances and is referenced in both sequels and the theme park ride. A classic cinematic landmark.
25. Mr. Strickland
Jesus, didnt that guy ever have hair?
Mr. Strickland or one of his relatives appears in every
'Back to the Future' film but it is the first film where he is at his angry best. Strickland is definitely one of films all time great hard-nosed, Napoleonic disciplinarians.
Played by the brilliant
James Tolkan, Strickland has a real irrational hatred of all things McFly and thinks that Marty and his Father George are slackers. The lovely little gag that he is bald and looks almost exactly the same in 1955 and 1985 is another of 'Back to the Futures' nice little touches.
