Trailers from Hell

This is one of those websites you just have to visit. Trailers from Hell has dozens of movie trailers, ranging from Fellini's Satyricon to The Toxic Avenger. So pick one. Say, for instance, The Alligator People (filmed "in screaming Horrorscope"). It is, not shockingly, a stinker, where men are turned into erect bipedal alligator men. Okay, after watching the trailer cold, you switch over to the commentary, which in this case is done by Joe Dante, the founder of the site. He tells you about the movie, providing a commentary on both the film and the trailer. The trailers would be good enough, but the commentary on some of these is actually quite illuminating.

As you can see, not all the movies are B exploitations. There's every kind of movie imaginable, with commentators including John Landis (everything from National Lampoon's Animal House to Cowboys and Aliens), Larry Karaszewski (co-writer of Ed Wood), It's Alive director Larry Cohen, and a roster of other luminaries of a funky films. If you start poking around on this one, you're going to be there for a long, long while.

(Some of the movies are NSFW. Some them are also probably dangerous to your health and should come with the Surgeon General's warning.)
