so when will we know if the transfers weren't ruined with digital noise reduction and edge enhancement?

When the disc is out and someone who knows what they’re doing review it.

Why is Alan Silvestri's score not easily available on CD? This is one of the biggest movies of the 80's and it has really only been available through score labels. There was a similar thing with Ghostbusters and Elmer Bernstein, but they finally fixed that last year. I think of stores like Hasting's, when they existed, and the rows of film scores available and it's crazy to think you could not get BTTF or Ghostbusters.

I have a lot of the score memorized from watching the movie, but it would be nice to able to listen to all of it.

Sorry, I didn't find a BTTF Music specific thread on Search.

It finally got a 2cd release in 2010 then sold out, I believe in 2015 they reprinted it as a single disc and here is the link to purchase, its OOS right now but you could email them to ask when they think they will have it. http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/i...category=21780

The 2nd disc was an alternate score so you will get the complete score once you purchase the 1 disc, also part 2 is in stock, that may hold you over til then since it has a lot of repeated motifs of part 1's score.

The Back To The Future reunion prompted a call from an angry fan upset about Thomas F. Wilson's absence from the reunion:

Must have been a scheduling snafu or something else for Tom to not make it onto the reunion chat.

2 and 3 are entertaining but not something I need in 4K.

I totally agree. I only like Back To The Future plus if memory serves me well the original release did not have To be continued at the end. Plus the Jennifer character did not have continuity. I bet they make you buy the movies as a set. Hopefully streaming will have them separate....

Bite your tongue about streaming, but yes I do believe it will be a trilogy set.



They only added the To Be Continued... tag to the first film when they knew there would be two sequels made.



While they are nowhere near the quality level of the first film (though the third film does make up a little for the second's It's A Wonderful Life plotline and other silliness like turning Marty into a complete a$$hole and Zemeckis being in love with the Michael J. Fox motion control camera "cloning" technology invented for the film), I still have a morbid fascination with the other two sequels.

Universal removed “To Be Continued...” beginning with the 2002 DVD release. It was tacked on for TV and VHS beginning with it’s 1986 debut on home video.

Back when TBS had the broadcast rights in the 90s, they aired that version. Once new HD masters were struck (in 1998 I believe - Universal sat on them for awhile), it was removed.

I’ve only seen it on broadcast TV a few times since the DVD-era, and on those occasions “To Be Continued...” wasn’t reinserted.

Also, you don’t have to worry about the digital releases - when redeeming the 35th Anniversary Trilogy set they all are provided separately.

I saw a really beat-up 35MM print at a Throwback Thursday showing in 2007, and it was the first time I realized that it originally had a “When in Hollywood, visit Universal Studios” post-credits advert. I wish they’d put that back in.

Yeah, remember when they tried to modernize that?

Part 2 is the best one*, you monsters


(* my favourite one)

[avs commenter]

Only interested in the original. Part 2 and 3 are OK but not worthy of an upgrade

delet this

1>3>2 but they are all better than most blockbusters of any age

[CouncilSpectre]

Whilst the first film is undoubtedly the pick of the three, the second is still very good too. Never been overly fond of BTTF3, but I’d still rather have it than not.

Finally! Someone that puts 3 above 2.

[dallywhitty]

I love the first half of Part 2, but I always find my interest wandering when it replays the events of the original.

So over the top. Also, I really don't like Marty's girlfriend replacement. No charms at all.

The first film is one of the few I can call “perfect”.

2 and 3 are fun and worthy sequels.

Overall, a really solid trilogy. Day 1.
