The Alamo Drafthouse and Synapse Films bring 42nd STREET FOREVER to Fantastic Fest!

One of the many great things about seeing a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse are the classic movie trailers that play in front of new features, often ingeniously placed (NUNS ON THE RUN in front of DOUBT was one of my recent faves), enhancing the movie going experience in a manner that no other theater can bring you. These trailers come from the Alamo's massive trailer archive, which we have been amassing for years, and we're now finally ready to share with the rest of the world. Working with our friends at Synapse Films, we've put over 40 of our finest trailers and special announcements onto one spectacular DVD: 42nd STREET FOREVER VOLUME 5: ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE EDITION!

Over a year in the making, this incredible trailerthon is just the tip of the iceberg of the many gems in our collection, and it includes some of our absolute favorites for a DVD event that will finally give you the experience of a night at the Drafthouse in the comfort of your own home. Like the other great Synapse 42nd STREET FOREVER titles, the ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE EDITION contains all trailers in their original aspect ratios (mastered in high definition), and features a new original documentary about the Drafthouse along with an audio commentary from Drafthouse founder Tim League and programmers Lars Nielsen and Zack Carlson!
