When my son was about 12 or 13 years old, we lived in an upper-story apartment that became very warm on summer afternoons and evenings. To cool off, we often went to the nearby Laurelhurst Theatre where we could view movies at discounted prices in air-conditioned comfort.
One of our favorites was the 1985 film Back to the Future, starring Michael J. Fox. It combined time travel with high school life and family relationships in a hilarious comedy. I lost count of how many times we saw that movie together - and eventually its two sequels.
My son is now an adult, living across the country. I remember sharing good times with him at the movies every time I see or hear anything about Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, or Lea Thompson. I am still smiling.
Back to the Future was fun to watch over and over as I seemed to notice something new every time. Definitely some fun memories!
