* When eavesdropping on his younger self lashing out over his car, 2015!Biff is reminded of the previous film's events where he crashed into a truck of manure...and can't help but laugh, looking back at the humiliation ''fondly'' against what you'd expect.

* This also counts as a TearJerker, but the reason Marty was so devastated over the loss of his father in the new timeline? He'd recently gotten to know his old man better for a week. [[NotSoDifferent In that time, he learned how much they had in common, and that they were both insecure teens]], and (depending on your take on the films' use of RippleEffectProofMemory) was looking forward to getting to know the man he inadvertently helped his father become.

* After Marty burns the Almanac, thus preventing Biff from ruining the future and murdering George, the newspaper declaring George dead changes to him receiving an award, and Marty just about explodes with joy. Then the paper Doc has that says "EMMETT BROWN COMMITTED: Crackpot Inventor Declared Legally Insane" changes to "EMMETT BROWN COMMENDED: Local Inventor Receives Civic Award", and Doc smiles as he declares, "Mission accomplished!"
* The fact that what started everything was the fact that Doc wanted to save his friend's (Marty) future family is rather endearing. Also, it's never confirmed in dialogue, but it's heavily implied Doc wanted Marty to pick up hints about the accident that crippled him and turned him into such a broken old man so as to prevent that future from happening.
* Speaking of Marty's future as a broken old man, there's the fact that despite what he made of himself, Marty's parents are still on visiting terms with him. Whether he's famous or not, whether he's a rock star or an office worker, his parents are supportive of his life.

* When Marty gets the letter from Doc. The way he just lights up when he sees who it's from, and his pure joy at the knowledge that Doc is still alive somewhen is just so brilliant.
* 1985 Doc having a brief chat with 1955 Doc(unbeknownst to him)as he's setting up the cables for his "weather experiment", with the older Doc assuring his younger self that there would be a hell of a storm (and the lightning that they need to send Marty back).
* When Marty explores the 2015 Hill Valley, he sees that the clocktower is still at 10:04 PM from 1955. Nice to see that the Hill Valley Preservation Society succeeded in 1985, and that they're still working hard in 2015 and beyond.

* After Marty has swiped the Almanac back from Biff, he tries to use the hoverboard to get away, but it can't go anywhere as fast as Biff's car. The car roars down on Marty, Biff grinning as he prepares to run him over...and then Marty disappears upwards, saved by a line Doc dropped him from the [=DeLorean=], as the music soars.
* It's subtle, but after meeting back up with Marty in 1985!A, Doc ''doesn't'' call out Marty for indirectly causing Biff's rise to power, telling him "it's all in the past"... There's also Doc knowing Marty would go to Oak Park Cemetery after learning what became of his dad, and showing up just as he's in the midst of a HeroicBSOD.

* The fact that what started everything in the second movie was the fact that Doc wanted to save his friend's (Marty) future family. I found that rather endearing.

* When Marty talks to Old Biff in the Cafe 80's and Biff makes fun of "Marty Jr." for having a complete loser as a father, Marty reflexively insists George [=McFly=] is ''no loser'' (as he very well knew after the first movie). Biff's '''immediate''' response is: "I'm not talking about George [=McFly=]!" He could have made fun of George as well (as in "Well, yeah, him too, but I meant Marty Senior") if he'd wanted to, and it's glossed over with all the rest of the future antics, but it was rather sweet that deep down, cranky Old Biff truly respected George [=McFly=].

* One of my favorite moments is when Marty gets the letter from Doc. The way he just lights up when he sees who it's from, and his pure joy at the knowledge that Doc is still alive somewhen is just so brilliant.

* I always loved the fact that what started everything in the second movie was the fact that Doc wanted to save his friend's (Marty) future family. I found that rather endearing.
