Back to the Future: Reagan was a fan

Who else was a fan of the Back to the Future series?

None other than our 40th president.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

Ronald Reagan would've just been another "Back to the Future" fanatic today.

The Republican icon enjoyed how he got to be a punchline in the first film (When Marty McFly travels to the past and tells Doc Brown who is the current president, the mad scientist responds: "Ronald Reagan? The actor?! Then who's vice-president – Jerry Lewis?"). He liked the scene so much that he apparently had the projectionist rewind the film and play it back.
