WELL, IT'S AN OLDIE WHERE I COME FROM

Have you been celebrating the Gold anniversary of November, 5, 1955? It's the day that Emmett "Doc" Brown invented time travel — slipped off the terlot, conked his noggin, and envisioned the flux capacitor. It's what makes time travel possible.

I first saw "Back to the Future" on VHS one evening in the mid-1980s. My parents had a dinner party in the other room, and they granted to let me watch this PG movie which had apparently become a widely-seen and -regarded film. Me, I'd found the movie I've called my favorite ever since. I've seen it more times than any other film, to be sure.

And lucky enough, an astute programmer at TBS had scheduled the movie for this afternoon, so I even got to watch part of it today. Check your local listings.
