A byproduct of the era I suppose.

[@jesusperez7108]

@@UToobin75 I agree. Trailers from the late 80s through the 90s were especially bad. A lot of indie film companies just don't know how to market their movies. Even A24 struggle with marketing their films unless it's a certified banger like The Lighthouse or Uncut Gems. Little off topic, but Box of Moonlight is such an underrated film. Turturro and Rockwell have such great chemistry in the film.

[@bbattersby2345]

Huge Billy Wilder fan (might be my favourite director) so I agree that Ace in the Hole is incredible, Sunset Boulevard is a masterpiece but imo The Apartment is his best film, sorry Perry. I will say Bicycle Thieves is an essential film I agree with you there.
