It’s been 40 years since Marty McFly hopped into that juiced up DeLorean. One of the stars of “Back to the Future” remembers it fondly. Lea Thompson reflected on the film in which she played Lorraine, the mother of Marty, played by Michael J. Fox, in a recent interview with People. Thompson was asked which of the three movies in the franchise was her favorite. “For me, it’s ‘Back to the Future: 1’ because it’s just a perfect screenplay. And as a director, I can appreciate the conciseness of it.” “And the truth is that ‘Back to the Future: 2’ and 3 were supposed to be kind of like one movie, and then they spread it out into two,” she said. “So, it wasn’t constructed in the same way as ‘Back to the Future’ was. So I just think it’s a perfect screenplay.” According to Thompson, now 64, “when we made ‘Back to the Future,’ we didn’t even think we were going to make a sequel.”
