The Back to the Future franchise is a comedic science fiction adventure film series written by Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, directed by Zemeckis, produced by Amblin Entertainment and distributed by Universal Pictures. Starting with Back to the Future, the films follow the adventures of a high school student Marty McFly (portrayed by Michael J. Fox) and eccentric scientist Dr. Emmett Brown (portrayed by Christopher Lloyd) as they use a modified DeLorean automobile to time travel to different periods of the history of Hill Valley, California.
The first film was the highest-grossing film of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the second and third films which were filmed back-to-back and released in 1989 and 1990 respectively. Though the two sequels did not perform quite as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular after a quarter of a century and has yielded such spin-offs as an animated television series and a motion-simulation ride at the Universal Studios Theme Parks in Universal City, California; Orlando, Florida (now closed), and Osaka, Japan, as well as a Microsoft Windows, Macintosh, iPad, PS3 and Wii video game. The film's visual effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic. All together, the trilogy was nominated for five Academy Awards, winning one (Best Sound Editing).
Back to the Future is a 1985 American science-fiction adventure film. It is directed by Robert Zemeckis, written by Zemeckis and Bob Gale, produced by Steven Spielberg, and stars Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover and Thomas F. Wilson. The film tells the story of Marty McFly, a teenager who is accidentally sent back in time from 1985 to 1955. He meets his future-parents in high school and accidentally attracts his future mother's romantic interest. Marty must repair the damage to history by causing his parents-to-be to fall in love, and with the help of scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, he must find a way to return to 1985.
Zemeckis and Gale wrote the script after Gale mused upon whether he would have befriended his father if they attended school together. Various film studios rejected the script until the financial success of Zemeckis' Romancing the Stone, after which the project was set up at Universal Pictures with Spielberg as an executive producer. Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly when Michael J. Fox was busy filming the TV series Family Ties. However, during filming, Stoltz and the filmmakers decided that he was miscast, so Fox was approached again and he managed to work out a timetable in which he could give enough time and commitment to both; the subsequent recasting meant the crew had to race through reshoots and post-production to complete the film for its July 3, 1985 release date.[citation needed]
Every day's a new beginning
That's what I stand for
Since our possibilities
In a world out of control
You're looking for a miracle
To spray the air feel the rain
Since you're out of control
Married to pain
Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There's no heroes
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Close your eyes and pretend
That you're a bird in the sky
Turn your face to the wind
I know you can learn to fly
Which way forever
Which way will I go
Which way forever
There's no heroes
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future

Change your thinking
Change your mind

Believe you can be
Believe that you can
You can make a stay
We can change the world
I know we can
You gotta take me back, take me out
Back to the future
Back to the future
Change your thinking
Change your mind
Back to the future
Back to the future
Take me back, take me out
Back to the future

Back to the future
It's a sad emotion. Think about the days gone by.
My head is turning as I surrender.
My heart is burning when i remember you.
A touch in the dark. A kiss in the night.
How I wanna be by your side. Let's go!
Back to the future. Back for good.
I just want you to be my baby.
Back to the future. Back for love.
I can't get enough.
I don't know if it's right. I don't know if it's wrong.
But I know you are only one.
Back to the future. Back for love.
I can't get enough.
Such a great devotion. Never ever felt so right.
I was lonely, but now I found that you're the only lover in found in my life.
A touch in the dark. A kiss in the night.
How I wanna be by your side. Let's go!
Back to the future. Back for good.
I just want you to be my baby.
Back to the future. Back for love.
I can't get enough.
I don't know if it's right. I don't know if it's wrong.
But I know you are only one.
Back to the future. Back for love.
I can't get enough.

But I know you are only one.
Back to the future. Back for love.
Great Scot, I'm turning my back to the future
Great Scot, I'm turning my back to the future
The here and now is where it's at, it's much simpler
Turn your back to--
Must get back to--
Turn your back against the future
Turn your back to--
Must get back to--
Turn your back against the future
Don't go forth, what's the worth
Don't go forth, what's the worth
Okay, so I should just dive headlong into the future
Well that's why DeLorean makes a brighter future
Truth be told I prefer things old
And I've never been good with computers
Turn your back to--
Must get back to--
Turn your back against the future
Turn your back to--
Must get back to--
Turn your back against the future

I Remember We Used To Ask Each Other
How Many Kids Are We Gon' Have
I Remember We Used To Make Plans Like
'I Cook The Food, You Cut The Grass'
I Remember We Used To Go Out Shopping, And How Picky You Would Be
I Recall We Used To Watch Bill Cosby And Say That's How We Gonna Be
[Bridge]
(What Happened) To All The Years Of Care
(About What) Making The Visions That We Shared
(The Promise) Where Did The Aspirations Go
(I Don't Know) See Baby All I Wanna Know Is
[Chorus]
Can We Take It Back To The Way We Were
Back To Every Single Time You Saw Him, You Saw Her
Even Though We Try To Stay Away
My Heart Is Still In Yesterday
Lets Go Back To The You And Me
Like We S'pose To Be
Back To The Future
[SisQó]
I Reminisce About The First Time I Saw You
My Future Flashed Before My Eyes
I Often Think About The First Time I Called You
How We Were Laughing Thru' The Night
We Used To Say We Would Outlast Forever
Travel A Road That Never Ends
We Need To Find A Way To Put It Back Together
Live In That Moment Once Again
[Bridge]
(What Happened) To All The Years Of Care
(About What) About The Visions That We Shared
(The Promise) Where Did The Aspirations Go
(I Don't Know) See Baby All I Wanna Know Is
[Chorus]
Can We Take It Back To The Way We Were
Back To Every Single Time You Saw Him, You Saw Her
Even Though We Try To Stay Away
My Heart Is Still In Yesterday
Lets Go Back To The You And Me
Like We S'pose To Be
Back To The Future, To The Future
Can We Take It Back, Take It Back
Baby Please..
Back to the future
One two, is everybody ready
Let's go deeper, deeper into sound
To the maximum
Let the crowd go mad
Caution, stand clear of the speakers
Here comes that sound
If you want more say 'louder'
Back to the future, back to the sky
A new age is dawning, I'm spreading my wings, I'm ready to fly
A new age is dawning, it's calling your name
Get out of your darkness step into the light, a bright burning flame
On the beat now
Take me back, take me
Take me back, take me
Take me back, take me, yeah
Take me back, take me
Take me back, take me
Take me back, take me, yeah
We started off quick, quicker than a bullet
Cupid at the trigger, so hawty had the bullet
Baseball gloving, fit us like a glove
Blinded by the light of our love
And we was on our way to the finish, record setting time
20 20... sign, wish I could rewind, wish I could go back
Where... happy ever after came too soon
And we were so young and foolish
And we were just run and through it
If I had known better, I would it have let myself go hard so fast
And I wanna go, go, go
Back to the future, back to the future
We started in the end zone, ended in the friend zone
What are we doing here?
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
Moment that I knew you, I knew I would choose ya
Didn't know I'd lose ya
Someone take me back to the future,
Take me back to the future, take me back to the future
And when we do I know exactly what to do with ya
We went from back to the front, started from the top
Hit the ground running when we should have took a walk
... to the deep and none of can see, but we almost drown
And we started at the light at the end of the tunnel
We had a building, turned it into rubble
With too good too fast, too great to last
And now we're done
And we were so young and foolish
And we were just run and through it
If I had known better, I would it have let myself go hard so fast
And I wanna go, go, go
Back to the future, back to the future
We started in the end zone, ended in the friend zone
What are we doing here?
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
Moment that I knew you, I knew I would choose ya
Didn't know I'd lose ya
Someone take me back to the future,
Take me back to the future, take me back to the future
And when we do I know exactly what to do with ya
We gonna slow it down, take our time
Cause we don't wanna fade up before...
Easy does it, nice and smooth
We don't wanna be too soon
And I know we can love on the first date...
But this time baby I'm a stop and kiss you good night
And maybe we can make it this time
And this is why wanna go, go, go
Back to the future, back to the future
We started in the end zone, ended in the friend zone
What are we doing here?
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
I think we have been in love, we should have been in love by now
Moment that I knew you, I knew I would choose ya
Didn't know I'd lose ya
Cam someone take me back to the future,
see everybody`s always asking me if i`m okay
i laugh, try to play it off like you didn`t mean a thing
but who am i fooling cause girl it`s plain to see
you are my everything
and when it`s late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
think about the days, back when you were mine
turn back the hands of time to it
but then i`m back to the future again
you`re on my mind 24/7, all the time
i press rewind but i can`t seem to stop the time
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
but then i`m back to the future again
back to the future, back to the future again
back to the future, back to the future again
if we could go back in time, could we fix it?
and if i gave you a chance, could you change?
and all the damage we`ve done, can we mend it?
somehow erase the pain
and when it`s late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
and i imagine us in another life
turn back the hands of time to it
but then i`m back to the future again
you`re on my mind 24/7, all the time
i press rewind but i can`t seem to stop the time
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
but then i`m back to the future again
girl if i come to the rescue
go back in time, try to save you
said it was destiny, girl would you trust in me
like we were meant to be
oh boy i try to forget you
but my heart can`t seem to let you
no i can`t say goodbye, no matter how hard i try
i just can`t let you go
you`re on my mind 24/7, all the time
i press rewind but i can`t seem to stop the time
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
but then i`m back to the future again
you`re on my mind 24/7, all the time
i press rewind but i can`t seem to stop the time
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
but then i`m back to the future again
back to the future, back to the future again
I'm digital
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go
Under the radar I go
To another dimension you know
Leave all the present behind me
Put in my tape
And rewind me
Take me back back back to the future
Living in digital
A new wave attack moving through ya
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go
Back to the future again
Stealing the sound of science
Causing a fatal attraction
Under your skin
A chemical reaction
Take me back back back to the future
Living in digital
A new wave attack moving through ya
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go
Hold up wait a minute
Put a little Love in it
I roll on my own tempo
Sometimes my shit goes solo
Polysonic, supersonic I'm gonna rock rock rock it
Old school 8-bit analog nine
here's the last line give 'em a rewind
I'm digital
I'm busting out like a criminal
I put on my shades 'cause the future's bright
Ultraviolet
I like it
I like it
Take me back
Take me back
Take me back back back to the future
Living in digital
A new wave attack moving through ya
Back to the future we go
Back back back to the future
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go
Back to the future we go

My world, my life, flash before me
My hopes, my dreams are slowly fading
Stuck in a place, I never thought we'd be
But we can change our destiny, yeah
It's like I looked in a crystal ball
I saw me and you and we had it all
Chorus:
Take me back, back to the future
When I always knew that
I, I, I'll never lose you
Don't wanna live... now
Take time and freeze it somehow
And you're the back, back to the future,
Back to the future, oh!
This rode we're on, leads nowhere
Let's turn around, and once we get there
We'll close that door, and get on with our life
Forget about the past, oh, oh!
It's like I looked in a crystal ball
I saw me and you and we had it all
Chorus:
Take me back, back to the future
When I always knew that
I, I, I'll never lose you
Don't wanna live... now
Take time and freeze it somehow
And you're the back, back to the future,
Back to the future, oh!
Let's go, let's go
I wanna go back!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Just don't give up on us, now
No need to be afraid
I saw our future mapped out
Chorus: (x2)
Take me back, back to the future
When I always knew that
I, I, I'll never lose you
Don't wanna live... now
Take time and freeze it somehow
And you're the back, back to the future,
Back to the future, oh!
I went back to the future just to see what we could be.
Hopped in my car and drove around the galaxy
It turns out I tripped and fell under your spell
