Did Anybody Actually See This In A Theater?


If so what did you think when you walked out? How many people were in the theater?

Any overall stand out memories?

i saw it when it came out at my home town theater with my family. it was a packed theater because it was the 80s and was a popular movie. when i walked out i thought about how the town i lived in would be different in the 50s vs the 80s. it gave me new things to think about.

When George stands up to Biff and decks him the whole theatre stood up and cheered.

I saw it on the big screen this summer. Does that count?😉

Absolutely. It was a BIG hit in the theater ... thus the two sequels. The theater was crowded, and the crowd was into it. MANY laughs.

Yes, I saw this at a theater in Kansas City, Missouri(not Kansas lol) by the name of Blue Ridge Cinema East. I took my girlfriend with my on my motorcycle, and we didn't see it when it came out in July, 85..we saw it in October so the theater probably was half full. I was 20 years old, I thought I was cool with my cycle and my girl. I don't remember much else except that night we had to ride all the way back to the military base, which was about 50 miles away. It was so cold riding down I-50 I would have to pull to the side every 15-20 miles to warm my hands.

reply

Yes but you went OT. What happened with the gf?
Did she at least do some parking with you to warm you up?

I saw this in theaters. I was 10. I have no idea if it was crowded or not. My only memory of my thoughts on it was how at one point Michael J Fox resembled one of my uncles. Remember I was just 10 lol
