Don't forget BTTF is complete with generic middle eastern terrorists, something still relevant today but absolutely unheard of in 1955.

I would say the cultural and technological shifts between 55 and 85 were far bigger.

In 55 space travel was in its infancy, segregation still existed, jet planes were in their infancy, computers were in their infancy. The impact of consumer technology was really the family TV and the car.

In a lot of ways today is just a evolutionary version of 1985, whereas 1985 was mich more of a revolution from 1955.

I think the time is right for another sequel - jumping forward to 2045.
