'Back to the Future' Had a Reunion for 30th Anniversary
See what the cast had to say three decades later.
— -- Ahead of the 30th anniversary of "Back the the Future," some of the cast like Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and others held a special screening on Tuesday night at the Hollywood Bowl and spoke about the film's longevity three decades later.
"It's amazing after 30 years that it thrives the way it does and continues to grow," Lloyd, 76, told People magazine. "Kids who saw it when it first came out are adults with children now, and it's cycling. It just keeps going on."
Lloyd also spoke about his crazy, yet genius character Doc Brown.
"He was mad about adventure and invention and breaking boundaries, and he had an incredible mind to do this," Lloyd said of his time traveling character.
"Back to the Future" was one of the first films that made Michael J. Fox an A-list star and Lloyd said it was "love at first sight" between the two actors.
"Everything just happened so easily with Michael. He has a comic flair, very spontaneous, had wonderful energy. It just all came through. And the chemistry we had between each other — I felt we never had to work for it," he said.
Thompson, 54, also spoke about still being remembered as Marty McFly's mother 30 years later.
"I just feel really blessed that if I'm really going to be known for one thing, on my headstone, that it's this movie, and that it was such a great product," she said.
