They should advertise all this movie trailers again and just release them as is.

12 Angry Men

2001

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

The Sting

Zulu

The Bridge on the River Kwai

Terminator 1 and 2

Alien

Back to the Future

Rollerball

Primer (It's fairly new but didn't get the justice it deserved)

They should cut a trailer for Terminator 2 that hides the twist that Arnold is playing a good guy this time. They originally wanted to keep it out if the marketing but Arnold was a much bigger draw since the first movie and the studio wouldn't let it be a surprise.

Can you imagine how epic that mall hallway shootout scene would have been if you went into it blind?

Yea it sucks. "He's back but now he's good!"

I watched t2 first I think as a kid so I don't ever remember the reveal on this.

But I knew about what you are saying and made my girlfriend watch t1 and then t2. She actually thought Arnie was the good guy before we watched but I assured her he's the bad guy. "He's a terminator he is designed to kill humans!"

I was really excited for the reveal and she said she was surprised when I asked but I was hoping for a bigger reaction.

I'd go to the movies for almost every one of these. That would be a blast.

Great list.

Primer came out 20 years ago. Its not fairly new.

And as much as i really like primer, it doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as the rest of most of the list. Its a hot mess, with a really clever concept.
