I remember seeing that Gremlins 2 trailer in the cinema, it got 10-year-old me really excited! I think I'd seen the first one by that point, but for a while it was too scary for me because I never made it past the relatively straight horror stuff at the start to find out that it gets pretty silly by the end, so this trailer's mix of horror and comedy vibes really clicked with me.

 

Back To The Future II's trailer has almost 30 seconds of clips from the first movie at the top to serve as a recap!

Ooh that's great, hadn't seen that one!

Haha, looking at that trailer all I can think of is what the trailer-ized cover version of "Gonna Go Back in Time" would be if the film was rebooted
