3) Darth Vader from Vulcan

Marty hatches a plan to convince his father, George, to go to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance where he is fated to meet his wife and kiss her for the first time. George is a difficult person to reason with as he mentions he would rather watch Science Fiction Theater, and thus, Marty uses George's love for science fiction against him.

He dresses up as an alien with his neon radiation hazmat suit and calls himself "Darth Vader" from the planet of Vulcan and warns George of an impending alien attack. This gets George to go to the school dance.

5) Parents falling in love

There is a real possibility of Marty's mother falling in love with her son.
