There are a ton of Back to the Future Funko Pop! figures out there in the wild these days, but few compare to the sheer awesomeness of the one featuring not only Doc Brown but the clocktower atop the Department of Social Services building in the 1955 version Hill Valley that was front and center in the nail-biter of a climax in the 1985 classic.

A Back To The Future Hill Valley Cookbook For The Kitchen
If you are looking for a book about Back to the Future that's more than just a collection of facts about the movie or essays on all the theories surrounding the events, then the Official Hill Valley Cookbook is perfect for the kitchen or just their bookshelf. The cookbook, which was released in October 2020, contains 65 recipes from the "past, present, and future" that either come from Back to the Future or are inspired by movie. One of the coolest things about the cookbooks is the way it is split into different eras from all three movies, including 1985, 1955, 2015, alternate 1985, and 1885. With mini pizzas from Back to the Future Part II's 2015, and a pie that looks like a Flux Capacitor placed on top a clock, there's plenty to try.

This Back To The Future Word Art Print Featuring Quotes From The Movie
One of the aspects of Back to the Future that has helped the movie (and its two sequels) withstand the test of time is the abundance of memorable quotes. With everything from "Great Scott!" to "Where we're going we don't need roads," and countless others, sometimes you just want to have them all in the one place at the same time. Well, with this beautiful Back to the Future word art print featuring quotes from the movie positioned in a way to form the famous DeLorean time machine gives you just that. This print is perfect for the wall in someone's office or entertainment room. Just know that it is unframed so you will have to purchase the framing and matting separately.

This Back To The Future Part II Replica Marty McFly Hat
Everything comes back into style at some point, so why not test out that theory and try on this extremely '80s replica Marty McFly hat from Back to the Future Part II. This one-size-fits-all cap is a pretty spot-on copy of the one worn by Marty McFly after he is transported to the 1989 movie's version of 2015. And even though we weren't wearing reflective and multi-colored headwear like this five years ago, that doesn't mean it's not a righteous cap. And whether it sits on the shelf of a Back to the Future fan's room, hangs on the wall, or sits atop their head while hoverboarding, this is the perfect hat.

A Copy Of The Biff To The Future Graphic Novel
Marty McFly and Doc Brown stop Biff Tannen's plan of remaining in power before too much damage is done in Back to the Future Part II, but the the comic book series Back to the Future: Biff to the Future, which was also written by Bob Gale, explores a world in which the rich and powerful Biff is still running the show and what society is like because of it. The series originally ran for six issues between January and July 2017 before being combined into a one-volume collection chronicling the rise of one of most detestable villains in '80 cinema. This sometimes dark, and oftentimes humorous alternate scenario answers the questions fans have been asking for more than 30 years now. And now it can be yours.

This Back To The Future LEGO DeLorean Play Set
Okay, this next Back to the Future gift is admittedly pretty pricey, but if you have a fan of the movie in your family who also loves building LEGO sets then this DeLorean Time Machine set is the way to go. Again, it's pricey, but this discontinued item comes with 401 pieces that help build a fairly large DeLorean and even Marty McFly and Doc Brown mini figs. The doors open and tires fold like in the movies, and it even includes Marty's iconic hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II, so there's plenty to enjoy here.

This Back To The Future Original Soundtrack Gatefold Double LP
Back to the Future, without a doubt, features some of the best music from any movie from the '80s, which is saying a lot. But what else would you expect from the great Alan Silvestri?

The records are pressed on white vinyl with blue splatter and the art is put together by Matt Taylor for a truly one of a kind package. And don't even get me started on the inside artwork. Anyone who knows anything about Mondo knows that these won't be around forever, so make sure to pick one up before it's too late.

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
