When the world was young and videos were the height of fashion, rentals were a wonderful thing. Not only did you get the movie itself, but you also had those great trailers for other movies to come.
Not only did you get these when renting films, but the trailer phenomenon soon crossed over into sell through video as well and we were blessed with trailers for new retail releases or tantalising films to come.
Trailers are still around today, of course, most often seen in the cinema or on television, but back in the 80's they were a force unto themselves. Often it would involve the same gravel-voiced man telling us 'it was a dangerous time, a time of woe, a time of hardship' before realising that the film was actually a love story set in the 1970's disco era, or some Disney film about a lovely little fox.
Now you rent out or buy a DVD and what do you get? Well, a trailer for the actual movie you are watching if you're lucky. Why (oh why) don't we get those excellent trailers as we once did before? It would serve as a great incentive to get another movie, though often the trailers would be far more exciting than the movie itself anyway, and it would also be great to look back on a film and see the old trailers that would remind you about other films you may have seen.
So come on film guy and girls, we need the return of decent and exciting trailers on our DVD movies, even if the films themselves are poor, at least we can look back with fondness as that gravel-voiced man tells us again that it all happened a long time ago in a far-away land.
