Than it does not really make sense that his parents did not remember him.
In case some of you don`t know but i assume most of you do. I am referring to Back To The Future

Doc Brown had a far better reason to remember.
He literally had to prepare for his death 30 years in the future.

two things... doc knew he was from the future when marty told him about the flux capacitor that he invented. so he would have been able to remember to look up/after marty when 'marty returned' to 1985. even if doc went through the 60s... without marty, he is a scientist and trained to pay attention to things. his parents, being lay people are not.
his parents in the 50s were kids themselves. most likely you don't remember a kid from your elementary days who was in your school for a week.

It's fun discussing the time travel of these movies. Marty returns to 1985 and the Lone Pine Mall to see himself take off to 1955. What happens when that Marty arrives back to 1985? Will this cycle continue to repeat itself?

Will this cycle continue to repeat itself? He always runs over th tree. We are just witnessing the beginning of the loop...Like a straight line that then starts doing loops. Of course, it's entirely possible that the sequel events destroyed the loop anyway. I can't stand the time travel in this. It's too linear.

If George and Lorraine don't question their son looking like the man they knew in 1955, Biff should have some questions as he looks like the guy who caused him to drive into two shit trucks and also murder with his car.

You do know they where in High School and not elementary school i right ? Also they where 17 years old not 7 years old. You speak as they where small children.

He wasn't quite "some random dude", he was the whole reason they fell in love. I wouldn't expect them to make the leap that their son is a time traveler, but if I was George, I'd be super paranoid Lorraine knew Calvin Klein a bit longer than that week...

Doc Brown was more of a loner. He would likely remember a face better...although I did wonder if he was really the type to watch current media and know who Ronald Reagan was.
He seemed quite up to speed with celebrity culture.

I agree with this...mostly. It still wouldn't make sense if the parents hadn't recognized how their son looks and seems exactly like "that guy" they met in high school. I know that some parents recall their old friends at one point or another.

I have tested this out and I have a hard time remembering faces of people even from a few years ago so it’s notnthat shocking to me that one week 30 years ago would be blurry. However it makes no sense that the youngest kid would be named Marty. Maybe the older brother was a jr.

I know that some parents recall their old friends at one point or another. he didn’t act exactly like their son. He was a peer and was doing things their son did not do plus they would have to remember him 30 years later. Of course they could have learned about him and formed their lives around him not knowing they knew. They were acting funny when he found out he had that truck.

Because you didn't pay attention when you saw the movie. Marty told Doc he was a time traveler from the future. Doc was prepared to know who Marty was when he met him, the second time. Calvin "Marty" Kline (Cline?) met George & Lorraine. They didn't know he was their son, and they didn't know he was a time traveler. It wasn't until 1985, when their son grew up, that he would look like Calvin. And at best, they probably just thought it was a coincidence... People do have doppelgangers all the time.

Parents frequently USED TO name their children after relatives... We see at the end of the dance, Lorraine saying the "Marty is such a nice name"... Perhaps after they named their first son "Dave", the second son was now free to take on the name Martin "Marty"... No real mystery here.

Uh, did you? Marty spends the bulk of the runtime trying to hook them up. Oh yeah, Marty also gave George the advice that lead to George's successful book career. Not to mention they named one of their damn kids after him. "Some random dude".

He seemed quite up to speed with celebrity culture. you're switching timelines... the bit about Ronald Reagan... [first off, the question was stupid as marty could make up any name and since he was from the future and not the past, its his word against the future]. the bit about Ronald Reagan. Ronald was a movie actor during that time and then branched out into television. it wasn't until the 60s where he started to dabble in politics. it would be fine for him to know Ronald was an actor in the 50s. it would be far fetched to think [especially in the 50s] that an actor could actually become president of the USA. [this is what makes that so funny] and about him knowing Ronald Reagan was an actor... there were many movies that were put on television as 'the late show' during that time. a good movie to see an example of this is [although scripted] WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE.

There was a theory back in the 80s when BTTF first came out on VHS that you could see a second Marty walking past the JC Penny sign at the beginning when the Libyans are pointing the guns at Doc Brown--there was even an elaborate theory about him--that he was the Marty of the altered universe at the end of the movie, and because Doc Brown (the one that met Marty in 1955) had warned him about the dangers of time travel--Doc Brown did have extra plutonium in the car when he went back, so that Marty 2 could return right away...and in doing so, he ends up in the reality that Marty 1 had--the messed up family.
Once it came out on dvd this theory no longer worked since the shadow by the JC Penny sign was just VHS SD artifacts.
