This made me cry. Not because I’m sad and lonely but because it took me back to a time and place where life was good, I was young and care free and everything was just good. BTTF has been such a vital part of my life since I saw it in 1985. I can remember renting it on Beta and me and my mom sitting down and watching it one night. God rest her soul, this movie gives me happy thoughts of that night we watched it. Her excitement was that of mine. My first concert as a 15 year old was Huey Lewis in 1986 because of Back to the Future! I have all the posters including the BTTF 2 Coming Soon poster. I have fan club magazines, comic books, Mad Magazine with BTTF on the cover, figures, I even paid $1700 to build the Eaglemoss 1/8 BTTF Delorean! Heck, on my 51st birthday this year, I went and got my first tattoo…the Outtatime license plate and the BTTF arrow in 3D!! This movie has lifted me up in bad times and made it better in good times. It’s not just a movie to me. It’s like an old friend..
The movie is a time machine in itself. Time machine of the mind. 🧠 ⏰
It is an old friend.
Merry Christmas this was a nice post to read on it. Merry Christmas to your mother RIP
made me cry as also, hugs from Finland!
This comment made my night. It's pretty amazing when a movie can connect others together. Thanks for sharing my friend!
Proud of my son's involvement in this historic restoration.
Which one is ur son?

So are we!!! #respect 💯
@@heesingsia4634 hello
This is a perfect example of why we 80s kids will always believe it’s the greatest decade ever never to be outdone
An era of Fantastic Possibility. Movies like this are incomparable. So glad I was there, and I couldn't wait to see what's next in the '80s.
Absolutely, I was Lucky to be there...
My parents said the 60's were better but life made a LOT more sense in the 70's, 80's and 90's...then things started going haywire about the time cellphones and computers became mainstream abot 2000.
I get sad thinking of how much better it was back then and wishing I could go back to the past lol
@@Aintyourbuddy_guy no doubt I catch myself living there as well, I did a lot in the 80s when it comes to music and being there in the moment was so incredible, just imagine Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers toured with Bob Dylan as his band and they were on fire and what an incredible event too have witnessed. I’m ready someone plz fire up the machine and take me to 1980 so I can go through the whole decade one more time. Maybe that’s where I’ll spend my purgatory
In the end, in a way, the DeLorean Time Machine DOES make time travel possible. It takes all of us "Back To The Future" fans back in time to when we first saw the movie. When we go back, we all realize that love, friendship, encouragement, and a little ingenuity can make each of our own futures better. When we come back to the present, we can try to actively make that a part of our lives.
this is a really underrated comment
That is 100% a true and "Heavy" comment. 👌🤘👍
The couple that built their own as a "last wish" project knew the value of project goals and enjoying the task of the goal itself. "Universal Traveler" -Koberg and Bagnall is a problem-solving manifesto from 1973 that I still use.
Yep ,it's hard to wrap your head around ! But fun to imagine
I have lots of things to change for the better from the mid-70s to 2022.
Absolutely love how they remained grounded, and stuck with the idea that it needed to look like Doc Brown built it in his garage. Also love what Bob Gale said: "Sometimes, limitations on things makes you even more creative" And that's why BTTF is such an amazing film. And why the DeLorean has legendary status 👍
Art from adversity.
Rip the back to the future christopher lloyd and Michael j Fox.
This is THE car...the one that made me a "car guy". The one that got me interested in mechanical things. I will NEVER forget the first time I saw it.
There were 3 that did it to me.
The General Lee
The DeLorean
The Ecto 1
Born in 83 I was raised by those cars. 😂😂😂
Other notables.
That stupid SnapTite firebird they kept throwing on Knight Rider 😂
Daisy's RoadRunner
Dirty Larry's Charger
Kowalski's Challenger
The A team GMC
Man the 80s really were great
Back to the Future is my favorite movie of all time and even though I've seen it a dozen times or more, still hard to choose a favorite scene.....and, I'm pushing 82.
I have all the books, I’ve seen all the documentary’s, but this is by far the best. Thank you so much for this fabulous content. You’ve made this Back to the Future super fan very happy. So often these days, movie documentary’s are over edited and actually have no depth and detail, but not this one. ‘If you’re gonna make a documentary about the time machine built into a car, why not do it with some style’ 👌 Thank you thank you, excellent work 🙏👌👍
you are very much welcome.What else can WE do for you?
I was surprised as well, i had just clicked it because it was in my suggestions feed (after watching a video from one of your competitors i realise now, haha, from a certain "quirky and featured" guy).
I was planning on watching it on the side while gaming, but i got sucked into it and quite moved at times.
Definitely better than the usual 'scratching the surface' kind of stuff out there.
@@genehunsinger3981 -- I'll have a burger and fries, and hold the pickles please.
That movie is a masterpiece. When we were shown that movie as kids all of us: cuties , jocks, nerds snotty kids, rich, poor, we were pulled into the story like in a vacuum and we stayed put in awe during all of the movie. I think it planted a seed in our heads us about the possibilities of life, what was happening around the world and being curious about stuff we didn't know. Doc Brown and Marty made a great team bouncing ideas. That's the kind of science I'd like to see more. That Delorean always looked like a flying saucer. Hey, We are all time travelers. The secret is that all our actions today influence the future. So be nice. If you don't believe in time travel, well try to learn what happens when you travel by boat around the world. Special thanks to everyone involved in the movie.
It really is an amazing film, and you are so right about how all individuals were pulled into this story the same. I dont think you could do this today as everybody is in their own individual worlds and they dont cross paths on much if at all in reguards to news, film, music etc. It was easier in the 80s as we all had manageable amounts of tv films radio music and news to follow, and even with this reduced load you could still miss something huge.

Your comment about "travel in a boat" made me remember my day's in the Navy. The 'port hole' was a view of 'time travel'. One day you looked outside and you were in Hawaii and another day you looked out, I was back at base in Devonport, Auckland N.Z. Later I could lie in my bunk and I M A G I N E that Hawaii was outside or Sydney, Australia or just the North Pacific Ocean surrounded by a red sea of Krill for as far as the eye could see in any direction. I was only limited by where I had been.
I was sure in the right place at the right time, here,... working with Ron Cobb. Multi-blessings to be a part of Mo-Pic History-
Thank you, Mr. Zemeckis & Mr. Gale,... AND Mr. Spielberg-
And thank you, Mr. Probert.
@@venkman71 🙂 😉
@@AndrewProbert you guys are absolute legends
Thank you Mr Probert for this Icon. And I know Ron Cobb, wherever he or his spirit are now, have seen this and I thank him as well. God Bless.
You forgot to thank communism, the dominant hollywood ideology since the late 1940's,---for all of your opportunity.
Saw one of these on the road last year. You don't realize how striking these are until you see one in traffic. So much lower and wider in real life.
Damn you for making me cry... I am proud of being a part of the restoration that was crowdfunded..
This is quite possibly the best documentary on the car I have seen.
the fact that fans restored it makes it so much more special.
Back to the Future has been my favorite movie since I was a kid. Owning a DeLorean and driving it around to share with others has been as magical a memory as I can think of. Letting kids sit in the car while their parents take pics is something truly special. If you have one, share it with others. The 80's were great and I don't know any other car that can make people smile like a DeLorean. Thanks for sharing this wonderful movie. VIN#4885.
I just watched Back to the Future with my 9 year old son just a few days ago. I was worried that he wouldn't understand what was going on or the references. 1985 is ancient history to him. He loved it, and we really enjoyed watching it together. The time machine was a huge part of the enjoyment. He could really connect with just how cool it looks, even to this day
These movies... are simply happiness. Nothing else needs to be said. You can not watch back to the future and not be happy.
Mmmm. One exception is, possibly, if you were related to Biff? 😉
I helped push this car back into the trailer after its visit to DC. I’ll never forget the Hagerty team asking for my help! Amazing experience. Thanks so much for bringing this icon so close to my home!!!
You got a chance to touch the icon, I envy you
You lucky ahhh
Wow I remember that!! What a small world I work for Hagerty and I believe I remember you although it wasn't uncommon for someone to lend a hand when we visit an show
@@NB-ir1me I took video of it on my channel if you want to check it out!
@@BrewersArcade I saw it and it was pretty awesome, what a moment you had there!
Considering how rare the DeLorean is today, seeing images of hundreds of them sitting next to each other outside the factory is so surreal.
I've seen a few in my day, very cool to see. We knew a guy in saginaw michigan who lived behind us that had one and seen more along the way. Went to an 80s fest and someone modified theirs to look like the movie
I actually got to see the hero A delorean in DC and it was like a dream come true. It looked so good I even got many pics of the car
Back to the Future is my all time favorite movie. I got a DeLorean last year so this documentary is right up my alley. Just to add, I know how these people feel. Just driving the car gets people talking.
Awesome email

@@0icekold7 huh!?
@@nedmurry7283 probably a bot.
lol mine too.
I feel the same way about Mini Coopers. That is another story.
This is a phenomenal documentary. Due to the popularity of the 'Back To The Future' film, there has been a deep, passionate interest in the DeLorean car from film fans and car enthusiasts alike. This documentary satisfies both car and film fans with the incredible, detailed history of the car itself---and the car rewriting history as a 'time machine'. There has been no other iconic movie prop in film history to bring the amalgamation of car and movie fans into a heartfelt reverence, and symbiotic appreciation as the DeLorean has. This documentary has captured all of those things and so much more.
Delorian was who you wanted to be back then
The greatest story I've seen in a while and the quote" People killing themselves to get it done but glad to be dying"
I remember leaving the movie theater the day it premiered as an 11 year old and it changed my life. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I remember how it made me feel and explaining it to my mother as she was making dinner. To this day, I watch it once a month, still, without fail.
There will never be another movie like this. Period. It is a perfect film and often overlooked how it was taken to its upper echelons by the great Alan Silvestri.
The movie makes me feel eternally 11 every time I watch it, I feel the same way I did that very first time.
That is the genius of every person in this film that made it happen.
I thank you. It has stood the test of time and has become a piece of my youth that will live in me and keep me that way forever.
All of the memorabilia that I have from the movie, the DeLorean models, diecasts, props...all keep that 11 year old boy alive and 1985 eternal.
Thank you! Gale,Zemeckis,Silvestri...
I couldn't agree more, a watched as a kid on VHS and to this day if i here, and when i listen to the OST my hair stands on end.
Wild, I remember the same.
Met John Delorean Several times. He had his office in one of Companies Business Associates office in Birmingham, Mich. Back before 1981. The car was underpowered but one of the coolest cars ever made. Just a memory now.
That car took that guy back to a time when he didn't have cancer. A time machine indeed!
After seeing this documentary I feel that movie fans are all family. We connect with each other over moments that made us happy, or relatable and Back to the Future is one of those movies that a fan who meets another fan are already friends.
every time when I'm upset, unhappy - I watch *''Back To The Future"* And this movie put a smile on my face. 💙
what an absolute gem of a documentary.
My beloved dad died from Parkinson's disease in 2017. My dad and I liked the Back to the Future movies. Dad spoke highly of the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease Research. It brings tears to my eyes from 1:13:06 to 1:14:06 in this video to see enthusiasts use a replica movie magic time traveling DeLorean car to raise close to a million dollars to find a cure for Parkinson's Disease.
There won't be any cure, there's no money in curing something you can make a shitload of money off of by providing treatment for it, all the while faking like they are serious about curing the disease. If we found a cure for all diseases, which I believe we already do, the medical industry would go bankrupt. That money isn't going towards a cure, it's going towards pointless research.......like the guy in outbreak movie said....... they'll test and then test it again and test it and then test it again. That's where your fundraiser money is going..... nowhere but in the government's pocket.
What stood out in this documentary the most is the prop artists willingness to share their delorean time machine and embrace copies of the car no matter how good or bad. I believe artists should be compensated for their work, and I understand how its "their baby" and could rightfully take offense at others copying their work and sharing it for profit or any reason at all - and even worse someone making a poor copy. I think its neat they allow others to make their own creation and how it imortalizes their work and makes others happy - and that they are ok with it.
you could tell it was love for a concept over love for an object. What an incredible team that worked on this
36:26 "Doc Brown doesn't drive a f**kin Mustang.... get outta here." total classic. this had me in stitches!! one of the best mic drop moments ever.
the whole series was a large part of my childhood, as was Star Wars, Star Trek, Indiana Jones, Blade Runner, The Goonies, TRON, Terminator, etc. and accordingly, films left a lasting impression on me, to the point where I'd obsessively re-watch them. I'm not in America so I couldn't be one of "those" fans that gets out to every convention like a true fanboy, but the DMC-12 is still in my top 10 list of cars that I'd wanna have. thanks for making this very special doco, it's in my favourites.
Simply the finest movie car in film history. I've dreamed of this car since 1985.
I guess you've never heard of the '77 T/A.
I would love to see a documentary of this quality done on the Mad Max Interceptor
I took my first serious date to the original showing of this movie, and I'll never forget the strange feeling walking out of the theater and into the parking lot. The movie was so incredible and really took you along for the journey in such a realistic way. I remember thinking how different things may have gone for DeLorean had the movie come out sooner.
many cars these days can to 88 miles per hour my how times have changed🤣🤣🤣
I imagine if things were different, DMC would still be going today.
i love how one mans failed vision, became the core icon of pop culture and has helped to fuel enthusism for the Delorean car still to this day!!!
This was my childhood movie. In Brazil, it was not easy to buy movies for videocassetes. My dad made an offer to the movie rental place because my bother and I were renting it all the time. I learnt English because of Back to the Future. I own 3 little replicas car toys. Watching this documentary just made my day. Thanks for all the actors and film producers for this eternal piece of art.
@John Thomas thanks for the kind words 😁. We were blessed to be kids in the 80’s and having BTTF our childhood movie. And about the DeLorean, it is exactly what they say: you can see one on the road. It can become “alive” and be part of our lives. No kid will have it on a today’s movie. I could go to Universal in California and see the cars in there in 1996. It was a wonderful moment.
What a brilliant documentary! The direction, cinematography, and editing are really all first-class and a fitting tribute to both the film, its iconic car, and the story behind it. Many thanks for the hard work that no doubt went into making this.
Indeed! This was nicely done and a great topic.
I live near where the DeLorean factory was, used to see hundreds of them from the train on my way to Belfast. We loved them, so wanted them to succeed, so admired John DeLorean for picking our troubled land to build his audacious car. There are a few around in Northern Ireland, and they still turn heads to stare when they go by. Perfect choice for Back to the Future.
Cried almost the whole documentary. Thanks for this sublime one
Very nice to have my photos included in such an important documentary! Never thought my photos would be a part of something so timeless..or a part of something for all time! Thanks to Tom Silknitter for asking to use my photos!
Man you have to put timestamps 😅 so you can get that clout brother
The more I hear about John DeLorean, the more I just like the guy.
He was trying to make his dream a reality for everyone.
I wouldn't mind owning a stainless steel car, that never rusts, never stains, or bleaches out in the sun.
And you can shine it up with a brillo pad!
John seemed to live a rocky, bumpy life. "But the man lived!"
Pretty soon, you might be able to buy a stainless steel vehicle. If Tesla's Cybertruck will ever get to production, tho.
Ironically, because its based on the Lotus Esprit, the folded steel backbone chassis and suspension pieces are prone to rusting. So many end up as hollow stainless steel sculptures as they wait for new chassis and suspension parts.
@@swedeis sadly true as I had a 1981 and the actual frame itself can rot badly as mine did causing it to sag in the rear where it broke. The outer skin was stainless but the bulk of the chassis was fiberglass over a weak frame.
Thank you for uploading this! Can't put into words exactly why but by the end I became quite emotional.
I was in my last year of high school, same as Marty, but in Australia when I first saw BTTF at a proper Drive In with a group of friends, I still remember when the DeLorean appeared & we all assumed it was a kit car as nothing that awsome could exist in real life, years later I got to sit in one at a car show & it really is a time machine as I was transported back to that night in 1985, thank you for that, & thank you for making this documentary.
This is so mind blowing. I was just thinking the other day that the amount of effort and creativity that went into movies actually peaked in the 1980's. This documentary has confirmed my belief, 100%. I really hope that we live to see the day when movie making returns to this level of creativity again. Going more and more digital is no longer the answer, as it's already been done and perfected. We need to return to real art again.
I think along the same lines, I was thing about uni's started getting into film/tv courses, in a bit way, am and they start pushing film make a business, and less of the art which always way?
it was a beautiful stainless steel coffin.
who cares abt safety in the future?
@@alicemalt5099 (I'm coughing to stop from choking.) You do realize they added the standard 'Dynamic Noah's Mortality Reactor' (DyNoMoRe) in 2030! Better than seat belts!
After that, it was safe to travel anywhere, except, of course, into a sun or in to Black Holes. They always suck!
This franchise has literally saved people and made their life better. An amazing production that impacted generation after generation, decade after decade.
It saved me..In 85 I was 13 and was being heavily abused at home..I saw Back Future and it blew my mind!.So I went back to see it all summer long..I would be there to see the 11:00am show and stay thru the 10:00pm showing..Sometimes I went and would fall asleep..Sometimes I would sit near a pretty girl and try to get the courage to talk to her..BTTF became my escape..So yeah this movie really did save me..🙂
@@cheddarcheese7928 Thank you for sharing this! I am sure that all these experiences made you a much better person than what you saw in your environment. As an abused child myself, I'm not sure if I became better than my parents, but hope that one day I will have kids and would like to tell everyone "Be your own person, not a consequence to your past!".
Thank you again and more power to you!
This was one of the most wholesome emotional positive videos I’ve seen in the last decade … wish I was one of the replica builders back in the day. What a time to be alive
I'm so proud to be part of this generation! How lucky we are 😊
Yes indeed
I love how gracious Bob Gale sounds when talking about fans who own the replica cars. On a personal level, if it were possible, I'd make a DeLorean my retirement car. Silly? Maybe. But I don't care.
"I get to help" (That touched me. True fan mindset, there).
"We need to depend on the fans to preserve the legacy" (Tell that to the suits who forget that it is the wonder and awe of the fans that makes the IP become a transgenerational reality of perception, not their millions-dollar budgets. You don't turn on fans if you want to survive).
This was one of my favourite documentaries ever.
i still want back to the future 4
Well said. This is a lesson that many in the movie industry have since forgotten.
@@wickedhouston5538 You will regret your wish. They creatively bankrupt right now.
They don't have the ability to create a good movie.
Thank you for making this documentary, as a teenager of the 80's (15 years old). This brought be back to the past and to my future. Great work!
Best documentary of a car I’ve seen ever, it’s so moving to see what a misunderstood vehicle can become such an icon and part of the culture through the hearts, hands ,and minds of geniuses. I was born after the third movie came out but my parents had seen it and sat there with me and my sister watching all 3 of the movies on our first run of the movie. It’s such an awesome trilogy and hope it never tries to come back as a reboot. Hope to buy the timeless classic that is a DMC one day.
You can really feel the love in the air that Back To The Future created. These people are amazing.
BTTF is and always will be one of the greatest movies ever made.
EVER.
What an amazing story from start to finish. I've always loved the movies and have watched all of them repeatedly over the years
A true labor of love. What a privilege to see this. Thank you so much to All of you
Had tears of joy from seeing these people, dedicating so much effort into their passion. Thank you … all!
I sat in a DeLorean as a kid in 1983? At the Sonju Two Harbors dealership. It is a wonderful memory for my childhood and my awesome dad.
Later in life, 2015, I had a time travel car pass me near the west bound exit of the Eisenhower tunnel in the winter while I was driving a mixer truck. I have a nice photo of that. It is perfectly framed and composed.
Thoroughly enjoyed this documentary! Nostalgic ❤️
Takes me back to a better time. Doesnt matter how dorky it is anybody from that generation will love the effort.
I got to see the DeLorean made by Oliver & Terry back in July of 2019 at the DeLorean Motor Company Midwest in Illinois. If only my younger self (13 years) knew that DeLorean had been around the world... I am proud to have seen that DeLorean. When I saw the DeLorean, it was being worked on at the time and I was amazed by the detail of it. I really wish I had asked to donate. Or maybe even asked where Oliver and Terry were!
My 20 years old son just call to me talk about BTTF Part 3 regarding the train elevation technology by Doc... Two generations fall in love to BTTF.... never fail to amaze all of us at all times...
Another home run! Loved it. Please keep doing this level of work. Thank You 🙏
ONE OF THE BEST DOC U MOVIES ABOUT SOMETHING WE ALL LOVE. WHAT A PERFECT COUPLE TO BUIL THEIR OWN CAR BUILT WITH LOVE & TOTAL APPRECIATION FOR LIFE AND PASSION IN THEIR HEARTS... IT KINDA TOUCHED ME A LITTLE WHERE IT MATTERS
I met Oliver and Terry Holler (along with Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd) at Wizard World Philadelphia in 2016, which was the best fan experience of my life. The Hollers used photo ops with their DeLorean to fundraise for the Michael J. Fox Foundation and could not have been nicer people. I'm so happy to see them featured in this fantastic documentary.
An hour and thirty seven minutes long!
I watched every second!
As a builder of a different movie car, the Interceptor from Mad Max, I can TOTALLY relate to the nerdy fan obsession with details about a movie replica.
I will have to plan a trip in my Interceptor down to the Peterson Museum to see the "A" car as well as my friend's Christine movie car that is there.
That's what I should be doing. Building movie cars and such. I love the interceptor!
Knight Rider was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. The car featured in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is incredibly beautiful.
My one good DeLorean story happened a few years ago. There is a long, straight 4 lane stretch of road across a wide valley not far from our place and it's nice to "stretch your legs". I was out getting errands done Sunday morning and was coming home and a guy and his kid were in a DeLorean directly in front of me ready to turn out onto the valley. They turn and the guy absolutely hammers it. I make a free right after traffic clears in my WRX, pass a couple slower cars and start to close on the Delorean. I'm inching up and catch them right as we hit the bridge mid valley with him in the left lane and me on the right. I glance down at the digital speedo, can you guess what it read? 88mph... That dad was out with his son doing a Sunday morning back to the future run, "just don't tell mommy, ok?" :)
One of the greatest movies ever !...I am 55 now , but I still have the memory of this movie vivid in my head and I watched this video three times in a row today !...God bless
This was absolutely fantastic! I have seen a lot of documentaries relating to the movie and the car and this one is probably one of my favorites! What an impact this film has had on us the fans and pop culture! Thank you to the original BTTF crew for creating such a an iconic piece of movie history and thank you to the fans who had a hand in restoring and preserving the Delorean Time Machine for “Future” generations to come! ❤️⚡️⏰
What a dream to see all this footage together.
Every time I see the Back to the Future movies (any one of the three) I go back to 1985. That was a pivotal time in my life. I graduated from highschool that year and went into the workforce. I grew up. Now I'm just getting older. Thinking about the concept of time travel makes me dream about what Marty and Doc Brown would do with my past to improve my future. I grew up dreaming about those movie and TV cars and what kind of influence they had on me. Life can exist with a fantasy, and thinking about how to make it come true. John Delorean had a dream and the movie guys continued that dream, and now the car of his dreams has been immortalized! And because of that a lot of people's dreams don't fade away. Thank you so much for presenting this video!
This was awesome! I seen the Hollers car in Louisiana. It was one of the coolest things just walking through a parking garage and there sits a time machine.
You know a franchise is perfect when not even Hollywood wants to tarnish it with reboots, remakes and sequels.
This has only ended up this way because Gale and Zemeckis stated that no sequels or reboots were to be remade when they were alive.
When Don Sherman from Hagerty came to our DeLorean Car Show 2021 and met us with Zach DeLorean, he mentioned "someone should have Hagerty celebrate 40 years of the DeLorean."
I'm glad he has a soft spot for us owners ;) -VIN 4693
Hagerty is hitting it out of the park with these documentaries! Thank you!!
What an absolutely fantastic film. This is now the apex of BTTF/Delorean documentaries.
I'm almost 40 years old so was a child when the trilogy came out. The DeLorean has ever since been my dream car and the films continue to be my favourite trilogy. I have three children, one of which is now older than I was when I first saw Back to the Future, and I cannot wait to introduce the films and car to them so that they might experience the same joy that I had back then and continue to have now when watching.
I think you might be let down. Kids these days don't necessarily like the same things.
Nice to see my custom DeLorean concept models used in this documentary!!!!!!!
If nothing else, Mr. DeLorean was a visionary...and the world needs those, now more than ever.
Oh damn an actual documentary that goes for almost 2 hours? I'll need to book at time with my calendar and get the popcorn!
Thanks for an excellent presentation and archive of the feature of one of my favorite films of all time
Most beautiful car ever made. I must have drew 100 pictures and past them out at school. Everybody wanted one!
AMAZING how much they take into consideration. Even car fitout between driver and passenger for shooting later on. Incredible insight and experience at play.
Wow, Monumental & scintillating. heart warming & spirit lifting.
I don't know how you guys cramped all this footage & story telling in 97min so smooth & coherent, props to the editing team & all the guys & gals in Hagerty, you are the lighthouse guiding the warmth back to our hearts.
Two years ago we attended an outdoor drive-in theme showing of Back to the Future III where it was filmed. Upon our arrival we looked around at the numerous displays of the movie then out of nowhere THE car was sitting there and I was a teenager again. I must've took a thousand photos of my grandson and I in that car and just couldn't get enough of it. They had actors portraying Marty and Doc that spent so much time talking to my grandson that I kept putting money, over and over, into the Mr. Fusion donation tube. It was just awesome!
That was our car! Thank you for donating! :)
@@flybak Was it really? It was soooo awesome. I made a book of photos for my grandson from the photos taken in it. Even in the dark it was so cool with the exterior lighting. Are you located out of the L.A. address or northern CA, or???
Best movie turned-trilogy ever. So perfect.
It's one of my ol' time favourite movies of all time. A movie that I can re-watch over and over and not get sick of it. And it's so true for me on what was said in this documentary, "you can't think of the movie (Back to the Future) without thinking of the DeLorean, and you can't think of the DeLorean without thinking of the movie".
The Hollers may be some of the most incredible people out there. What a crazy story, I'm bawling my eyes out. So happy for them and what they've done.
As someone who's had the pleasure to work on a delorean signed by Christopher Lloyd I can not only agree with this video but thank you for making it all....
This car truly takes me back in time.
Yeah, in that sense it works better than creators had in mind...😆 Same here.
This doc gets my special excellence award! Really drives home the point on how people, technology and culture are interconnected. Best 01:37 you could spend on TH-cam!
Saw this film at 8 with my parents and it has always been a favorite of all 3 of us.
Actually, teared up watching this.
God bless that couple ❤️
Wow, just wow. What an amazing documentary about a fascinating and heartwarming story. I had a tear in my eye whilst remembering the first time I saw this film as a young boy back in the Eighties. Now at nearly 50, I long to be able to return to my childhood just once and watching this would be part of going back then. Thanks for sharing.
Everyone thought Marty was the main character. When it was really the car. And it got all the lines right.
I live 1 mile away from the original delorian factory in Northern Ireland.
My father ordered 2, my brother worked security in the factory and as a 10 year old boy I was allowed to drive around the original test track.
I seen the first movie with my very first girlfriend ❤
Lots of love to all who created life time memories
What a great documentary! I have loved the DeLorean DMC-12 even before the BTTF movies, which took my love to another level. Have always wanted to own one. Maybe one day. The community this car & movie has built is amazing. Big love to everyone involved on any level with the car & to the fans. 👍

The couple's last wish project, just tore into my heart strings and remembering where I was watching the movie were tears of joy
I remember my grandpa recorded the first Back to the Future movie for me on a Sony VHS tape and my mom and I watching Back to the Future II in the theater eight times in a row because it was that good. Times were much simpler then and what a great and happy ending for John Z. DeLorean. I am so glad he was able to experience what a great culture he has created around his dream, the DMC-12. The most iconic cars of my childhood were the General Lee '69 Dodge Charger, the Fall Guy's GMC pickup, the GMC conversation van from the A-Team, the Pontiac Fire Bird from Knight Rider and of course the DeLorean from Back to the Future! I may not have ever driven a DeLorean, but I was able to ride in my best friend's DeLorean back in 1995. That memory as well as watching the Back to the Future franchise will stick with me forever! God bless all the hard work that went into restoring, building, these DeLoreans and for making this documentary! It goes to show you there is still good in this world.
I owned a Delorean back in 1987. I loved the car, when it ran. It was definitely fun to drive, when it was running.
I test drove a used one many years ago. It broke down after about a mile.
