Any other trailers/themes/bumpers out there on YouTube that posters here remember and like?

I worked as a projectionist at a movie theater when I was in high school. That was a great job- the old style theaters had the movie on several reels and you had to go back and forth between two machines. That's what those dots you sometimes see in the upper right hand corner are for- they're cue marks to sync up the two machines for the "changeover". Now they just put the whole film on one or two reels.

There are a lot of stories about that job. Sadly, none are about having sex in the projection booth though.

Anyway, back on topic, I've seen lots of those trailers. One of my favorites is the one they used at the beginning of the first Kill Bill. I hadn't seen that one since the mid 70s. I'll look for it on youtube.

Here it is

EDIT: Yep, GoM, you beat me to it.

Used in one of those bumpers, by Keith Mansfield, who did some popular arrangements for Maynard in the 70s.

Who knew?

Keith Mansfield has apparently become a hero among crate-diggers. I never made the association w/Maynard until a few days ago... http://slice-of-spic...-mf-horn-2.html

Yes, that's the MF record where I first heard of him, way back when.

Didn't he also do that one that nobody paid attention to, the one that came between MF Horn & MF Horn 2, the one that was all top 40 hits?

Thanks much, Jim--I incorporated this info w/a tip of the hat to you in my Night Lights blog post of these clips (called "snipes," evidently).

You mean 'Tha Ballad Artistry of Maynard Ferguson' on UK CBS?

[ghost of miles]

I got one for ya!

NBC Sunday mystery theme

...as I recall, they used this for the whole rotation ("Columbo," "McCloud," and "McMillan and Wife," correct? My mom and dad watched these pretty religiously and got me hooked as a kid.

Anyone who went to UK cinemas in the 70s will recognise this one immediately. The 'Pearl and Dean' advertising trailer. Usually followed by cheapo adverts for flock wall-papered Indian tandoori restaurants and dodgy 2nd hand car dealers...

One of the UK Maynard LPs has an arrangement by Mansfield that lifts very heavily from this theme.

Henry Mancini wrote that, right?

Sounds like Macarthur Park!

Another version of Pearl and Dean with the flashy visuals. Pete Moore 'Asteroid'.

That's what the Internets say!

Here's a version of it with all of the rotating shows/characters featured:

NBC Sunday Movie Mystery theme

1976 version with "Quincy" in the rotation (before being spun off):
