He must have been waiting for someone to arrive at his door so he could test it on them. Probably didn't want to go out and convince people to do that, or maybe he did and someone would called the cops.
Doc's mind reader does work! He told his grandma he was in the coast guard, the great distance was time travelling, and he got the date from a newspaper
You have to be of certain age to appreciate Doc's sarcastic statement: "And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury." Jack Benny (1894-1974) was an entertainer whose comedy routine (one of them) was portraying himself as a miser and cheapskate.
Well if that's the case, then I guess it sounds fitting considering what Reagan did during his presidency when it came to spending aside from the military and taxes on the rich
I'm from 2025, this movie wasn't available anymore on Netflix since September 2024. So I went back to 1985, stayed a little while up to 1989, and saw the whole trilogy.
I remember watching this on channel 5 with commercials as a kid. All my siblings and I were hypnotized into the movie then commercial break we would all say noooo! Lol
It’s interesting that even in 1955 you see Doc More in his smaller lab home as opposed to his big mansion. I wonder if that’s indicating he always felt more at home in the lab so he didn’t have a problem selling off the land that is mansion was on
00:40 Marty: Doc? Doc: Don't say a word. Marty: Doc. [Doc is wearing a mind-reading device on his head] Doc: I don't wanna know your name. I don't wanna know anything, anything about you. Marty: Listen, Doc. Doc: Quiet. Marty: Doc, Doc, it's me, Marty. Doc: Don't tell me anything. Marty: Doc, you gotta help- Doc: Quiet, quiet. I'm gonna read your thoughts. Let's see now, you've come from a great distance? Marty: Yeah, exactly. Doc: Don't tell me. Uh, you want me to buy a subscription to the Saturday Evening Post? Marty: No. Doc: Not a word, not a word, not a word now. Quiet, uh, donations, you want me to make a donation to the coast guard youth auxiliary? Marty: Doc, I'm from the future. I came here in a time machine that you invented. Now, I need your help to get back to the year 1985. Doc: My god, do you know what this means? It means that this damn thing doesn't work at all. Marty: Doc, you gotta help me. you were the only one who knows how your time machine works. Doc: Time machine, I haven't invented any time machine. Marty: Okay, alright, I'll prove it to you. Look at my driver's license, expires 1987. Look at my birthday, for cryin’ out load, I haven't even been born yet. And look at this picture, my brother, my sister, and me. Look at the sweatshirt, Doc, Class of 1984. Doc: Pretty mediocre photographic fakery, they cut off your brother’s hair. Marty: I'm tellin’ the truth, Doc, you gotta believe me. Doc: So tell me, future boy, who's president of the United States in 1985? Marty: Ronald Reagan. Doc: Ronald Reagan, the actor? [Scoffs] Then who's vice president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady! Marty: Whoa, wait, Doc! Doc: And Jack Benny is secretary of the Treasury! Marty: Look, you gotta listen to me. Doc: I’ve had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, future boy. Marty: No wait, Doc, the bruise, the bruise on your head, I know how that happened, you told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet, and you were hanging a clock, and you fell, and you hit your head on the sink, and that's when you came up with the idea for the flux capacitor, which makes time travel possible.
If this movie got remade & released today the scene would probably go like this: Doc: "Who's President of The United States in 2023?" Marty: "Joe Biden." Doc: "Joe Biden? That Catholic! Then who's Vice President, a Chinese man?" Marty: "Actually an African American woman."
They should set it between 2016 and 2020. Then the scene could play like this. Doc; "Who's president in 2017. Marty; Donald Trump. Doc; Donald Trump, the TV host? Then who vice president? Alex Trebek. I suppose Oprah Winfrey is the first lady, and John Stewart is secretary of the treasury.
Do you think his mind reading hat worked? “You come from a great distance.” From the future. “You want me to buy a newspaper subscription.” He saw the date of a year and thought of a newspaper. “You want me to make a donation.” Marty wants Doc’s help.
Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

10/10 !
I just love Christopher Lloyd's face when Marty tells how he got his band aid. That's so funny, such a great actor !
I love how Doc's first instinct when he sees a stranger outside his house is to read his mind
That’s Doc for ya!
He must have been waiting for someone to arrive at his door so he could test it on them. Probably didn't want to go out and convince people to do that, or maybe he did and someone would called the cops.
One of the best written scenes ever
Yes, pretty awesome
One of the best written movies ever
2:16, seen this plenty of times and never noticed Marty’s brother was already disappearing
One of the most iconic duos in cinema history.
Doc's mind reader does work! He told his grandma he was in the coast guard, the great distance was time travelling, and he got the date from a newspaper

Happy Back To The Future Day, October 21!
Went to see this at the cinema on Friday, you notice so much more. If you get the chance to see it on the big screen, do it lol.
75 inch tv and it is great.
I'm from 2025, this movie wasn't available anymore on Netflix since September 2024. So I went back to 1985, stayed a little while up to 1989, and saw the whole trilogy.
They played this in the cinema again?
I like how Marty had that suction cup imprint on his forehead after he pulled it off.
"Great Scott, Putler must be kaput!!"
- Doc Brown
Doc calls marty, future boy. Goodnight future boy.
I remember watching this on channel 5 with commercials as a kid. All my siblings and I were hypnotized into the movie then commercial break we would all say noooo! Lol
Time travel is outlandish but the idea is so captivating and this movie too fun 🥰
It’s interesting that even in 1955 you see Doc More in his smaller lab home as opposed to his big mansion. I wonder if that’s indicating he always felt more at home in the lab so he didn’t have a problem selling off the land that is mansion was on
I think he just needed the money for the time machine, also his mansion burned to the ground so he probably had no use for the land anymore
So Marty is also the inventor of time travel.

Marty: Doc?
Doc: Don't say a word.
Marty: Doc.
[Doc is wearing a mind-reading device on his head]
Doc: I don't wanna know your name. I don't wanna know anything, anything about you.
Marty: Listen, Doc.

Marty: Doc, Doc, it's me, Marty.
Doc: Don't tell me anything.
Marty: Doc, you gotta help-
Doc: Quiet, quiet. I'm gonna read your thoughts. Let's see now, you've come from a great distance?
Marty: Yeah, exactly.

Watched thos when i was 7.back in 1988
If you make it to the 1950s, stay there and then have Doc send you back when it gets to 1960.
If not for the toilet story, Marty would have been stuck in the past to this day.
It’s hilarious hearing Marty sound just as looney as Doc

African, indian(Asian), american

Actually, George Bush Sr was the vice president of the United States and nancy reagan was the first lady in 1985.
We know he was being sarcastic.
Thanks for the info, future boy.
