Twenty-five years ago today, on October 26, 1985, Marty McFly went back in time. (The movie was released during the summer of 1985, but it was set in October.)

In honor of this event, the Back to the Future trilogy is being released on Blu-Ray today. I’ve ordered my copy and it should arrive later this week.

Also, last night and this past Saturday, there were special showings of the original film in actual movie theaters. I wish I’d been able to go! We had plans last night, and Saturday was our last day at Disney World. We could have seen it at the movie theater at Downtown Disney, but that wasn’t how I wanted to spend my last day there. Still, it would have been so great to see it on the big screen again. I vividly remember the first time I saw it in the theater — I chewed my soda straw in two during the climactic clock tower scene.

Happy time travel anniversary!
