Back to the Future was released in 1985 and became one of the most quoted and referenced science-fiction films of its era, following teenager Marty McFly and inventor Doc Brown through a time-travel adventure. Its music, catchphrases and DeLorean imagery entered everyday pop culture, and short clips from the film are now widely reused in memes, edits and reaction videos. The film's mix of humour, adventure and nostalgia keeps it instantly recognisable to new audiences, even decades after its original cinema release.
