VIDEO: 9 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About 'Back to the Future!'

It's hard to believe that 30 years after its release, there are still some things one can learn about Back to the Future and its sequels.  CineFix has uncovered nine things you may not have known about these classic films. Sure, a few of them you probably already knew -- but I'll bet there are a few you didn't. For example, I missed #6 entirely -- and #7, who knew?! ( A little bit of adult language ahead, just so you know. ) Thank goodness for #9. Seriously!

Happy Birthday Robert Zemeckis

It's a bit crowded today, as far as birthdays go, but let's try not to overlook anyone. Happy 64th Birthday to Robert Zemeckis, the man behind so many of our favorite films and TV-shows, including the Back to the Future Trilogy , 1941 ,  Who Framed Roger Rabbit ? , Used Cars , Tales From the Crypt ,  Romancing the Stone , What Lies Beneath , Cast Away , The Borgias ,  Flight and many, many more. Below, probably one of the highlights in his career, as his friend Steven Spielberg handed him over the Academy Award for Best Director in 1995.

I Wanna Hold Your Hands turns 37

On this day, April 21 1978, 37 years ago, Robert Zemeckis’ first feature as a writer/director premiered in New York City, New York. I Wanna Hold Your Hand also marked the first time that Steven Spielberg (at that time (only) known for two consecutive box-office hits Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind and his TV-Movie of the week, Duel ) acted as an Executive Producer ( Amblin Entertainment didn’t start for another three years). Despite high hopes from everyone, Spielberg didn’t attach his name just like that, he believed in the story of the six young girls from New Jersey, who set off on a mission to meet the Beatles on their first appearance on American TV , the film wasn’t the hit everyone hoped it would be.  However it did launch a friendship and partnership between Spielberg and Zemeckis (along with Bob Gale), that have provided us with some great film- and TV-projects after that.

Radio plays, do they still exist ? #whoframedrogerrabbit

Going trough my collection I bumped into these two little tapes with the original radio play of Who Framed Roger rabbit ?  Got me thinking: Do they still make these kinds of releases (on CD of course) of high profile films at all ? I haven't seen any new ones for the last 10 to 15 years. Let us know if you have (seen) any.
