Today my friend Blake suggested I devote a page here for retro trailers. I jumped. What a great idea! Old movie trailers offer a unique window into how films were marketed long ago, and it’s fun to imagine those audiences getting as psyched to see the hottest movie as we do.
So without further ado, here are some gems I think you’ll enjoy. I'll keep posting more under the label ‘retro’ as I find them, so you can subscribe to future posts. And please post a comment to offer suggestions for more (original theatrical trailers only).
Psycho, now with 100% more toilet.
Lolita: If this doesn’t scream retro, nothing does.
Gone with the Wind, complete with the treacly music
Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
The Birds
The Party, yes, now 100% more birdie num-nums.
Grand Hotel
To Kill a Mockingbird
Village of the Damned
Rosemary’s Baby
The Exorcist: “Nobody expected it...”
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Citizen Kane, simply fabulous
Zelig
Take the Money and Run
Blue Velvet, “From the mind of David Lynch...”
Pulp Fiction: This one is funny because, following on its winning Cannes’ Palme d’Or, it starts out to make you believe it is an art house film.
All About Eve
2001: A Space Odyssey: High quality. Not absolutely sure it is the original theatrical trailer, but it sure looks like it.
Zardoz, suggested from my friend Jon.
