You're really making me want to revisit the trilogy...

You mention the romance between Doc and Clara, I love that two, but the really sweet thing I liked is that because of that, Marty starts to become the responsible one while Doc becomes more impulsive and irrational, the dynamic swaps but they're still true to their character and it's believable because of the time we've spent with the characters through the first two flicks.

Of course, without the time-travel world-jumping of part two, this flick got to be ALL about characters, our last go into the BTTF-verse so we got to spend every minute with them instead of being shuffled from weird place to weird place and trying to get our bearings.  And many of the people populating 1885 were veteran western actors as well, so there's this extra sense of familiarity to the place, even if we're not sure why.

And is there any better single image from the entire series than Marty and Doc in front of the Clocktower clock from when that central pillar of the community was being built?  I love that, it just fits with the whole idea of the series, friendship through time like no one else could have had, how they've become part of the history of their town, plus it's this great way of referring back to Doc hanging off the clock face in parts one and two without recreating it.

The Time Train is brill, but I still can't wrap my head around actually having to make that and hide it and put it on the tracks, it's a real train!  And the design, it's got a great sense of whimsy (fitting, given that Doc is dressed like the Wizard of Oz at the end), the bat-like wings and the goofy spinners, and the giant versions of the coolant vents from the Deloreon.  And I'm not sure if you ever saw the cartoon, but in the animated series the "coal cart" at the back actually housed a back-up Deloreon, like a trailer.
