Explanation

The suggested name for the 1985 film "Back to the Future" was "Spaceman From Pluto." This name was proposed by Sid Sheinberg, the head of Universal Pictures at the time. However, the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, and producer, Steven Spielberg, did not like the title and found it to be too comedic. In a clever move, Spielberg sent a humorous memo to Sheinberg, thanking him for the fantastic new title while subtly implying his dislike. Thankfully, Sheinberg got the message and the film was ultimately released as "Back to the Future," becoming a massive success.
