Back to the Future rules theaters as Live Aid raises millions for famine relief.
Tune the dial to 1985 and the rotation runs heavy on music videos, movies and TV, and video games. There is no recommendation engine reading your habits in the background.

About the curation
Clips on the 1985 channel are first-run material from 1985. A scene that played in theaters that year. A commercial that aired that year. A news cut from that year's broadcast. A performance from that year's stage. Nothing here is a retrospective edit, a 1980s countdown, or a reaction. To add or remove a clip, write hello@timesurf.tv. Full rules on the About page.
