It's back to the future day!

Today is the day (or one of the days) that Doc Brown set on the DeLorean!

Where are my flying car and hoverboard!

Not to be an ass, but no, it isn't. That date was never used in the movies.

The one and only specifically stated (and shown) future (post-1985) date used was October 21, 2015.

Hey, that real date is my 60th birthday .
I'd like a hoverboard for my birthday in three years, please .

Amusingly, the departure date of October 26, 1985, was my little sister's 14th birthday. Which she quickly noticed when she saw the movie, and always remembered afterwards.

Which made her posting the "Today is future day" post on facebook yesterday especially hilarious, because of all people, she was very familiar with the dates on the time machine, since she had spent to many times noticing it and pointing it out to friends.
