Trailers From Hell with Joe Dante


Joe Dante (Gremlins, The Howling, The 'Burbs) asked contemporary filmmakers to pick their favorite classic-era movie previews and then discuss the reasons for their selection. 

This ended up being a perfect pick for one of SXSW's midnight showings, especially in combination with Drafthouse queso and beer. The trailers were fun, the commentary was interesting, and Dante is particularly charming. If he ever decides to distribute this as a DVD, however, I hope there would be the option to mute the commentary and just watch the trailers straight through as well.

Hell of a good time!
