Discussing Back to the Future at work today my unpopular opinion was that the third part is my favourite.
Was going to post this as #unpopularopinion when a though struck me: The third film features a doctor who travels in time and space with a school teacher named Clara.
Must be something others have notice before right?
Anyway, yeah I'd like part 2 the most as a kid but as an adult I prefer part 3. Can't wait until 1885.

This day in "history" has certainly been noticed by non-scifi elements of society, as the sports program on Monday night called the "Sportsfan Clubhouse" was reporting on US sports and noted that the Cubs are not looking good to fulfil the BTTF "prophecy".
And if you think about it, even if the Cubs win the next 4 games against NY to get into the world series and then win that, there was no way the Cubs would have won the world series before October 21st, as the earliest they could win it (winning the first four games of the World Series) is October 31st.

Studying engineering ruined the concept of time travel for me
If you know what flux and a capacitor is, you definitely know that it's not enough for that car to time travel.
Compare that to the time machine movie, I do not know what makes that work ?
Cool concept for kids though.
I'm happy to have at least been able to take the BTTF ride at Universal Studios in the early 2000's. Always thought that it would always be there. But it's gone now.

It was only recently replaced by the Simpsons ride when I first went to Universal Studios in 2009... so I imagine that it would have been very popular this year if it had survived this long.I'm happy to have at least been able to take the BTTF ride at Universal Studios in the early 2000's.

Yeah, I saw the Simpsons ride in 2013 but didn't take it since I went to the TF Shop instead (near closing time). The group (family) I was with said it was good too but I didn't want them to wait for me because I missed the ride.
Agreed that the ride would've probably have the longest line today (this week) if the ride was still there. Something universal studios missed.

Universal in Japan still has the BTTF ride as far as I know. The lines for that ride are always massive. I can't imagine how long the lines will be this weekend (or last weekend)

Even though it is the 22nd here, it is currently the 21st in America, so the date is getting a bit of attention... even on the old fogy version of ABC radio here, playing one of the songs (Back in Time) and noting the date in America.
I was trying to look up the actual time of their arrival in Hill Valley, and from what I can tell, it was 4.29pm (California time - I believe that was the state they were in), which according to this website, occurred 1 hour and 28 minutes ago.
So based on the movie events, they are currently running around Hill Valley right now, because they don't leave until 3-4 hours later.
(since I don't currently have my BTTF DVDs with me to check the actual times, I have to rely on interweb info)
Time to go find them!

I found it amusing how this was all over our news yesterday when the movie itself is set in the US

I remember going to the Back to the Future ride at Universal Florida back in 1992, it was a highlight of the entire theme part back then. I was disappointed not to see it there when I've been at Universal LA in the last decade.
