    This made me cry. Not because I’m sad and lonely but because it took me back to a time and place where life was good, I was young and care free and everything was just good. BTTF has been such a vital part of my life since I saw it in 1985. I can remember renting it on Beta and me and my mom sitting down and watching it one night. God rest her soul, this movie gives me happy thoughts of that night we watched it. Her excitement was that of mine. My first concert as a 15 year old was Huey Lewis in 1986 because of Back to the Future! I have all the posters including the BTTF 2 Coming Soon poster. I have fan club magazines, comic books, Mad Magazine with BTTF on the cover, figures, I even paid $1700 to build the Eaglemoss 1/8 BTTF Delorean! Heck, on my 51st birthday this year, I went and got my first tattoo…the Outtatime license plate and the BTTF arrow in 3D!! This movie has lifted me up in bad times and made it better in good times. It’s not just a movie to me. It’s like an old friend..

    In the end, in a way, the DeLorean Time Machine DOES make time travel possible. It takes all of us "Back To The Future" fans back in time to when we first saw the movie. When we go back, we all realize that love, friendship, encouragement, and a little ingenuity can make each of our own futures better. When we come back to the present, we can try to actively make that a part of our lives.

    I remember leaving the movie theater the day it premiered as an 11 year old and it changed my life. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I remember how it made me feel and explaining it to my mother as she was making dinner. To this day, I watch it once a month, still, without fail.
    There will never be another movie like this. Period. It is a perfect film and often overlooked how it was taken to its upper echelons by the great Alan Silvestri.
    The movie makes me feel eternally 11 every time I watch it, I feel the same way I did that very first time.
    That is the genius of every person in this film that made it happen.
    I thank you. It has stood the test of time and has become a piece of my youth that will live in me and keep me that way forever.
    All of the memorabilia that I have from the movie, the DeLorean models, diecasts, props...all keep that 11 year old boy alive and 1985 eternal.
    Thank you! Gale,Zemeckis,Silvestri...

    Absolutely love how they remained grounded, and stuck with the idea that it needed to look like Doc Brown built it in his garage. Also love what Bob Gale said: "Sometimes, limitations on things makes you even more creative" And that's why BTTF is such an amazing film. And why the DeLorean has legendary status 👍

    That movie is a masterpiece. When we were shown that movie as kids all of us: cuties , jocks, nerds snotty kids, rich, poor, we were pulled into the story like in a vacuum and we stayed put in awe during all of the movie. I think it planted a seed in our heads us about the possibilities of life, what was happening around the world and being curious about stuff we didn't know. Doc Brown and Marty made a great team bouncing ideas. That's the kind of science I'd like to see more. That Delorean always looked like a flying saucer. Hey, We are all time travelers. The secret is that all our actions today influence the future. So be nice. If you don't believe in time travel, well try to learn what happens when you travel by boat around the world. Special thanks to everyone involved in the movie.

      It really is an amazing film, and you are so right about how all individuals were pulled into this story the same. I dont think you could do this today as everybody is in their own individual worlds and they dont cross paths on much if at all in reguards to news, film, music etc. It was easier in the 80s as we all had manageable amounts of tv films radio music and news to follow, and even with this reduced load you could still miss something huge.

One day you looked outside and you were in Hawaii and another day you looked out, I was back at base in Devonport, Auckland N.Z. Later I could lie in my bunk and I M A G I N E that Hawaii was outside or Sydney, Australia or just the North Pacific Ocean surrounded by a red sea of Krill for as far as the eye could see in any direction. I was only limited by where I had been.

Letting kids sit in the car while their parents take pics is something truly special. If you have one, share it with others.

    What stood out in this documentary the most is the prop artists willingness to share their delorean time machine and embrace copies of the car no matter how good or bad. I believe artists should be compensated for their work, and I understand how its "their baby" and could rightfully take offense at others copying their work and sharing it for profit or any reason at all - and even worse someone making a poor copy. I think its neat they allow others to make their own creation and how it imortalizes their work and makes others happy - and that they are ok with it.

    This is a phenomenal documentary. Due to the popularity of the 'Back To The Future' film, there has been a deep, passionate interest in the DeLorean car from film fans and car enthusiasts alike. This documentary satisfies both car and film fans with the incredible, detailed history of the car itself---and the car rewriting history as a 'time machine'. There has been no other iconic movie prop in film history to bring the amalgamation of car and movie fans into a heartfelt reverence, and symbiotic appreciation as the DeLorean has. This documentary has captured all of those things and so much more.

I was out getting errands done Sunday morning and was coming home and a guy and his kid were in a DeLorean directly in front of me ready to turn out onto the valley. They turn and the guy absolutely hammers it. I make a free right after traffic clears in my WRX, pass a couple slower cars and start to close on the Delorean. I'm inching up and catch them right as we hit the bridge mid valley with him in the left lane and me on the right. I glance down at the digital speedo, can you guess what it read? 88mph... That dad was out with his son doing a Sunday morning back to the future run, "just don't tell mommy, ok?" :)

    My beloved dad died from Parkinson's disease in 2017. My dad and I liked the Back to the Future movies. Dad spoke highly of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease Research. It brings tears to my eyes from 1:13:06 to 1:14:06 in this video to see enthusiasts use a replica movie magic time traveling DeLorean car to raise close to a million dollars to find a cure for Parkinson's Disease.

      There won't be any cure, there's no money in curing something you can make a shitload of money off of by providing treatment for it, all the while faking like they are serious about curing the disease. If we found a cure for all diseases, which I believe we already do, the medical industry would go bankrupt. That money isn't going towards a cure, it's going towards pointless research.......like the guy in outbreak movie said....... they'll test and then test it again and test it and then test it again. That's where your fundraiser money is going..... nowhere but in the government's pocket.

      @John Thomas thanks for the kind words 😁. We were blessed to be kids in the 80’s and having BTTF our childhood movie. And about the DeLorean, it is exactly what they say: you can see one on the road. It can become “alive” and be part of our lives. No kid will have it on a today’s movie. I could go to Universal in California and see the cars in there in 1996. It was a wonderful moment.

    Every time I see the Back to the Future movies (any one of the three) I go back to 1985. That was a pivotal time in my life. I graduated from highschool that year and went into the workforce. I grew up. Now I'm just getting older. Thinking about the concept of time travel makes me dream about what Marty and Doc Brown would do with my past to improve my future. I grew up dreaming about those movie and TV cars and what kind of influence they had on me. Life can exist with a fantasy, and thinking about how to make it come true. John Delorean had a dream and the movie guys continued that dream, and now the car of his dreams has been immortalized! And because of that a lot of people's dreams don't fade away. Thank you so much for presenting this video!

This documentary has confirmed my belief, 100%. I really hope that we live to see the day when movie making returns to this level of creativity again. Going more and more digital is no longer the answer, as it's already been done and perfected. We need to return to real art again.

    All it takes is one simple ideal, spark of imagination, and the desire to create....but most of all the courage. John DeLorean had that courage. From his dream came another simple ideal, spark of imagination, and the desire to create.....along came Bob Gale. From his courage and dream came the Back to the Future movies and the Delorean time machine. But it took more than just him to do it....and that's what it's all about. The coming together of like minded people with a passion to create.....all starting with a simple ideal, a vision. This is how many great things with humbling beginnings are born and accomplished. How many were inspired from the movie and the Delorean time machine? We will never know. But I am thankful they were and so glad the Delorean was saved for future generations.
