I doubt will ever be a full screen HD release of anything, let alone BTTF.

Counter-point: Evil Dead was released on Blu-Ray open matte, even though it was likely shown in theaters in 1:85. Of course, they included a widescreen version as well.

Speaking of odd TV broadcasts, I saw Videodrome on Encore in open matte HD. Sadly couldn't record it. Maybe Back to the Future will be shown in the same way.

 

From what I understand, Evil Dead was originally made to be shown in the theaters as open matte but composed so that it could be matted to 1.66:1 or 1.85:1. The wide-screen version was originally created for the DVD release to allow for more picture detail and carried over to the Blu-Ray release.
