Here’s a quiz that would have been more appropriate on November 5th (the day Doc Brown invented time travel). The Back to the Future trilogy made a generation of kids crave hoverboards, roof-hinged car doors, and Huey Lewis cassette tapes. Turn the time circuits on and see how well you remember Hill Valley, circa 1985. (And 1955. And 2015. And 1885.) Perhaps you’ll pick up a few fun facts about the franchise along the way.
Take the Quiz: Back to the Future
I can’t believe I only got 50%–I gotta go watch all three again…
here’s hoping they NEVER do a remake or part 4–it’s currently the perfect trilogy!

Why am I having deja vu? Is this a recycled quiz? Or did I just see it when I was in the future?

Maybe a future version of yourself went back in time to give you the answers, Grays Sports Almanac style. Or maybe not. All the 5pm Quizzes have been posted before. (This one originally ran during ’80s Week in April of 2008.) We save the new stuff for lunchtime.

I agree with Wayne. This is the perfect trilogy! This quiz definitely makes me want to plan a day around watching the trilogy again and again.
