20+ years ago I was at the Writer’s Guild Theater in Los Angeles, waiting for a movie screening to begin.
A trailer for another film preceded the movie we had come to see.
No one in the audience — comprised of “industry people” — had ever heard of this not-yet-released new movie. Nor of the star (whose name isn’t even mentioned).
But when this trailer ended, the entire theater burst into HUGE applause. A spontaneous, unanimous, “Wow that was great!” ovation.
Turn up your volume first….
This movie trailer is like a great record: Just as good now as the first time I experienced it.

Hey Dan,
It was fun to read about your initial reaction to this great trailer. I remember hearing about the film, but never got a chance to see it in the theater. And for some reason, I waited another 24 years to finally sit down and watch it. It really does deserve to be called a classic.
Thanks for posting.
