Back to the Future

BTTF

Andrew says “Think McFly” in Conversations with Dead People. He’s referring to the movie trilogy Back to the Future, made in the 1980s in which McFly is the last name of the main character, Marty (Michael J. Fox). More specifically, he’s using the phrase Biff (the thug/bully) used to use to intimidate Marty’s father, the hapless George McFly (played, memorably, by Crispin Glover in the first movie).
The building used as Buffy’s old school Hemery High (in Becoming (Part 1)) was the clocktower from the Back to the Future trilogy.
The demon who pretends to be Future Xander visiting his younger self in Hell’s Bells is reminiscent of Back to the Future II in which Biff time-travels back to visit himself when he was young to tip him about betting.
