still more BTTF Reagan is president in 1985--> Fogerty "Old man Down the Road". If that was an intentional segue, kudos.  And at least we didn't get "Centerfield", which has appeared in A-to-Z.

pop quiz - when Marty first shows up in 1955 - give me any of the following:

the 2 records on sale in the music store window
the movie on the marquee, with the 2 headliners
how many guys run out to service the car at the gas station
who was mayor

BOS #3 Waterboys, no mattter how overplayed this ever gets, any reference to Brigadoon trumps all else.

wow, I don't know the answers to any of these, but I love this kind of movie trivia stuff.  I should watch BTTF again.
