It's not like those 7 or 8 scenes weren't unimportant or poorly made, but if you watch carefully you'll realize that they're either unncessary, or redundant to what's already covered. And those moments (if viewed after the film, obviously) only proof that Marty and editor Thelma Schoonmaker made all the right choices and the film stands out as one of their best moments, also great for everyone involved, and a film that didn't go unnecessary longer.
