I don't mean to spoil your holiday cheer, but: the Back to the Future DVD box set is mis-cropped. Universal Studios will replace the second and third discs (BTTF 2 and 3) with new DVDs with updated framing starting in February 2003. That DVDFile story has Universal Studio's phone number you can call to request an exchange, and Digital Bits has the email Universal Studios is sending in response to complaints, which includes an address to which you can return those discs (just those two discs) for replacements. If you haven't acquired the boxed set yet, you might want to wait (I presume until February, and/or when DVD news sources give the all-clear).

To see how badly they are mis-cropped, check out these screenshots. When Marty gets out of the water after the hoverboard chase in BTTF 2, his jacket beeps and has a blinking light. Confused, Marty finds the blinking light and presses the button; the jacket suddenly inflates and dries off. On the DVD, the image is cropped so you cannot see the blinking light, seriously hurting the gag. "Auf den DVDs sieht man absolut keinen blinkenden Button an Marty's Jacke!" Sehr ärgerlich.

Happy holidays, everyone!
