Time Keeps On Slippin'...Into the Future

I came downstairs yesterday after trying to nap (while Genius Golfer watched a golf tournament and kept talking to the TV golf announcers--oh well for that idea) and found The Boy watching a Back To The Future marathon.  He was halfway through the second movie.

I sat down to watch with him.

First, I don't remember the language being that rough when I saw it before.  That may be a recognition when you watch it with your kids kind of thing.  Secondly, I forgot how much I enjoy Marty McFly and Doc Brown together.  And thirdly, what a crazy, imaginative, Inception-like layered story!!  I watched the rest of the trilogy with him.

The whole afternoon made me think, I wonder what films my own kids will be watching in 25 years with their kids on a Sunday afternoon.  Maybe they will be watching the movies we love to watch together now--The Princess Bride, A Christmas Story, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Back to the Future.  I hope so.  They are classic for a reason.
