Loved your post as usual, CO. I have to call you one minor discrepancy, though, since I'm such a huge BTTF fan. The "To Be Continued..." wasn't added until it was released for home video when they knew there was going to be sequel. And that's why you don't see it on the DVDs, because they were determined to get the original versions released (which is why I loved them, even though I grew up on the altered (and, for the sequels TV broadcast altered) versions). What Zemeckis said was that the cliffhanger ending (which would admittedly go well with a "To Be Continued..." was supposed to be a joke.

You're right, my mistake. I never saw it in the theater in '85, I remember renting it in the summer of '86 and saw to be continued....and I was hyped for a sequel. God, I sound like a SW PT fan, not knowing my facts on the Back to the Future Series! I guess I should stick to SW related stuff..........
