Back To The Future Day Quotes: Best Lines From Marty McFly, Doc And Others

It's finally here. Wednesday is Oct. 21, 2015 -- the day Marty McFly time-traveled to in the 1989 movie "Back to the Future Part II" -- and what better way to celebrate than by slipping some of your favorite phrases from the film into everyday conversation? On this momentous occasion, jokingly saying "that's heavy" is not enough.

The original "Back to the Future" premiered July 3, 1985. Starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd, the film follows high school student Marty as he takes scientist Doc Brown's time machine to the 1950s and then must fight his way back to the present, awkwardly encountering younger versions of his mother and father in the process. The Oct. 21 date is actually at the center of the movie's sequel, where -- you guessed it -- Marty travels to the future and inadvertently messes up the present. If all of that confuses you, just skip the third film (actually, you should do that anyway).

The series attracted a cult following that propelled Back to the Future Day to fame. Play along by remembering these quotes from the films, collected from IMDb and Wikiquote:
