Old Movie Trailers




     



We lived for the old old movie trailers in the days when movies meant cinemas, popcorn, and the big hollow sound, with the cutie a few rows over, some noisy people, those who slept, and a cartoon feature. That was real entertainment, and something to look forward to. Those old movie trailers can still be found on auction houses, among other places, and in specialty stores.

Nobody knows when the first movie trailer was invented, but we know they were in text format. They appeared after the silent movies that held audiences spellbound.

As time went by, the old movie trailers became the means why which moviegoers were inspired to return to catch the next greatest flick. In the 1940s they became creatively inspired, and in two decades, they were at the focus of the theatre's marketing campaign.

Today, trailers have their own big event, known as the Golden Trailer Awards that are handed out to the best of the best annually.
