Nice collection
The little California town of 'Hill Valley' is, of course, fictitious the town square was built at Universal Studios but you can see most of the other locations from the movie around LA. Best of all is the stunning house of Doc Emmett Brown (Christopher Lloyd), the 1908 Gamble House, one of LA's great architectural joys, 4 Westmoreland Place in Pasadena, just a little to the south of the Pasadena Historical Society.
In the 80s, the Doc's house has supposedly burned down and he's living in his former garage, now sited behind a burger bar. The garage was constructed in the rear of Burger King, 535 North Victory Boulevard in Burbank (the same stretch of road is featured in Memento).
The houses of Marty McFly's mom-to-be, Lorraine (Lea Thompson), and that big lummock, Biff, can also be seen in Pasadena, though 'Hill Valley High' and the 'Twin Pines Mall' can both be found way to the southeast of the city. The high school is Whittier Union High School, 12417 Philadelphia Street at Pierce Avenue (it's where Richard Nixon graduated in 1930).
To the east of Whittier, in the anonymous sprawl of industrial estates aptly called City of Industry, is the mall, where Doc Emmett gets gunned down by irate Libyans. It's the Puente Hills Mall, on the southeast corner of the Pomona Freeway exit, Highway 60, at Azusa Avenue.

Thanks for making this BTTF collection, I have spent some time viewing it and reading the sites you have linked to. An excellent job. If you reaIly fancy having a crack at it. I have a few movies I would like to find the locations for: Bullitt (1968) [ IMDB] Dazed and Confused (1993) [ IMDB] The Silence of the Lambs (1991) [ IMDB] Stir of Echoes (1999) [ IMDB] The Thomas Crown Affair (1968)(1999) [ IMDB][ IMDB] Wargames (1983) [ IMDB] I have not searched the forum to see if any of them already exist, so if they do forget it and I'll get round to getting them in my own time. Good Luck.
