Back to the Future


I just watched this movie again last week, and it's still fantastic.  I'm sure I have see it about 100 times in my life.  The above picture is from last year so they only have 3 years now! 

It is kind of funny how in some respects we have been dead on when it comes to technology in movies and in others we are way off.  Take Star Trek for instance.  Their communicators look just like cell phones and even flip open but at the same time, the voice of the computer sounds like an old 1950s robot.  It's just funny they got the design and function of a cell phone down but didn't think we could get an actual human sounding voice down. 

Of course in the case of Back to the Future (1985) where they showed 2015 technology being flying cars and Mr. Fusions, they were just way off.  If you are going to make a movie about the future just make it hundreds of years in the future so you won't live to be wrong lol.
