You’ve never seen Back To The Future?!?!?

You’ve lived the last 33 years with the chance to watch this movie and chose not too?!?

THANK YOU for making this thread.
I guess one of us was going to!

A few isolated people are up in arms about his comments in that interview re Stevie--but my sole moment of frustration was reading his Back To The Future comment! And the Zemeckis diss! (I think Zemeckis is an awesome director, just like Spielberg can be. Fincher, on the other hand, got a bit tiring in Gone Girl IMO.)

Maybe his main problem with it is that his song got completely overshadowed by Power Of Love?

The thing is, Power Of Love fits perfectly with the movie in a dozen different ways. Ideally, Time Bomb Town should have been used for Part III. But in order to arrange that, Zemeckis would have had to travel back from the future to warn Lindsey that there would be sequels.

Hahahaha! I love this thread and am equally as shocked and appalled

, had to read that part aloud to my husband in disbelief

This is only the movie I deem "the best movie ever made"

Maybe he finally watched it after this interview... one can hope. haha

Maybe he's too busy working on his music to watch movies.

He's a polymath (he often draws analogies between his music art and other forms of art (painting, film), and in particular is into film in a big way, so I think it's more that he's dissing Hollywood movies per se.

The thing that surprises me is how he managed to avoid seeing BTTF despite having three kids (including a boy). But I guess it goes to show that in this day and age, families aren't huddled around one TV set in the living room each night watching whatever is on one of five channels.

What?! BTTF is one of my favorite movies, ever. It's fantastic and I've always been so pleased that Lindsey's song is in there. Lindsey needs to see it ASAP!!!

My kids are roughly the same age as LB's and we watched the BTTF trilogy together as soon as they were old enough to understand the concept of time-travel (say, kindergarten..?!

). The first film is pretty much a perfect movie. LB is really missing out!!!

Plus it’s packed with 80s and 50s music. It’s so Lindsey style.

So true! I hope he takes the time to watch it now

. I've always loved that his song is included. So funny to me that he never saw it...!
