There is a difference between discussing potential plot holes and trying to figure out the physics and/or alter the story line. It is still a movie. 
Some of those are not really valid to me.

I can't wait to get home and Watch Part II tonight. I've been in a time travel craze the last few days.

yeah because a time traveling phone booth was completely realistic for time travel.
is that the issue really?
does a phone booth really make any more or less sense than a Lamborghini?

After reading this thread I've cone to one very crucial realization......my brain hurts.

There was no such thing as rape in the 1950's. Chicks just played hard to get and sometime the only way you could get them to have sex with you was by using a little force.

Claudia Wells played Jennifer in Part 1 and Elisabeth Shue played Jennifer in Part 2 and 3.
Elisabeth Shue is way hotter

Here's my question:
In Back to the Future III, 1885 Doc hides the car in a mine for Marty and 1955 Doc to repair so Marty can get back to 1985. So whenever Marty travels back to 1885 to save Doc from being shot, there should be two DeLoreans in 1885 Hill Valley (correct me if I'm wrong). When Marty rips the fuel line and loses all of the fuel, why couldn't he and Doc just repair the fuel line, get the gas from the other DeLorean, and travel back to 1985?
Actually, if I remember correctly, at one point I believe there should have been 4 DeLoreans in existence at the same time.
Many hours of my college life were spent picking at BttF.

Also, this BttF timeline was posted on here back in September, and I still havne't had a chance to check it out yet. But I figured it was pertinent to this thread.

shite, you're right. my bad, i forgot about it being the 50's. a time where you could just smack a broad for giving you too much lip. no wonder they call it the good ole days.

Let me think about this.
It must be in 1955 in part 2.
1st Delorean: The one from the original movie
2nd Delorean: The one old Biff takes back in part 2
3rd Delorean: The one that Doc and Marty take back to get the sports almanac in part 2
4th Delorean: The one that doc puts in the mine in 1885?
I don't count that last one since it doesn't get placed there until doc gets hit by lightning, but it's a fun mental exercise.
ETA: This also makes me realize that you can get rich by buying something really expensive and taking that item with you as you travel back in time repeatedly. Say you buy the Hope Diamond. Just go back in time like in the bttf trilogy and you can have as many Hope Diamonds as you like.

I think Bender tries this in Futurama and the universe explodes.

this one is super easy.
Doc goes back to Marty. At the beginning of that mission. it can be done via doc or via note. "Hey marty. you're going to think about buying a sports almanac from a vintage store to get rich. in doing so, you fricked the entire future. don't buy it. good luck with rest of the mission" signed Future Doc
you don't have to know where biff is at all.
Isn't this where the paradox would kick in? If Marty doesn't buy the Almanac, then why would Doc go back in time in the first place to warn him?
