10 Things About 90s Movies Everyone Misses Today
1. Trailer Voiceovers
In a world...
Those three words are enough to stir up a thousand different emotions at once in the hearts of film fans, all thanks to the incredible voiceovers that dominated movie trailers in the 1990s.
Usually provided by the deep, throaty tones of men like Hal Douglas or Don LaFontaine, these voiceovers would sometimes appear right at the end of the trailer or, if you were really lucky, you got them the whole way through!
And then, for some reason, these voiceovers just disappeared. You never hear anything other than in-movie dialogue on trailers these days and you know what, that's a real shame.
They may have been a bit silly, over-the-top, and campy, but sometimes that's what a movie needs to be. The 90s was all about having fun and the voiceovers on movie trailers were just that. These days, trailers take themselves far too seriously, with every animated comedy sounding like it's trying to win a Best Picture Oscar.
Do we want to see voiceovers come back for every movie trailer? No. Do we think there should be more of them? Absolutely.
