"Back to the Future" Helps Us Celebrate '80s/'50s Day

That's Important! is obviously one of the most important blogs of our time: it's right there in the name. But now genius editor Julie Klausner has undertaken a project that increases the importance of That's Important! by several orders of magnitude: '80s/'50s Day. It's a celebration of the greatest '50s representations the '80s had to offer, from the opening credits of "Rags to Riches" to Billy Joel's video for "Uptown Girl." Our humble addition to the canon is above: a scene from the original (and best) installment of the "Back to the Future" trilogy. And if a '90s/'60s Day is on the horizon, I cannot recommend highly enough this episode of "Beverly Hills, 90210" in which Brenda AWESOMELY imagines the entire gang as characters in a diary from 1969. Jason Priestley is a conservative, warmongering jag! It's perfect!

WEIRD my coworker and I were just talking about the "Grease" movies, and how "Grease 2" awesomely was just like, an 80s movie with costumes. And that episode of 90210 is AMAZING. But I can't lie. I sobbed my heart out when Brinda was all, "I'm in love with Dylan." Embarrassing, but true. And if Kelly had just went with her tambourine persona, she would have been much more likable in later seasons.
