and Rodriguez/Tarantino among many others.
Who is John Saxon? I ran across this gem of a trailer on the dvd version of Bava's Black Sunday a/k/a Mask of Satan. Bava didn't care too much for his film The Girl Who Knew too Much, but the trailer is one of my current favorites in the "great trailers for bad movies" category.

It's been a while since I've watched Black Christmas. Thanks for the reminder. It's going on my Christmas movie to-watch list this year. (Hope I don't have to sit through Elf ever again.) Another actor who showed up in a lot of movies back in the day was Klaus Kinski. My limited research on him suggests he wasn't a good person which might have been the result of mental health issues. Anyhow, he shows up in this amusing trailer for a German "Krimi" film many of which were based on Edgar Wallace stories. View YouTube Video

Thanks for recommending Shop Around the Corner. I had to look it up. Looks like a good one for xmas viewing with the wife. Yeah, I'm no expert on German film. I found the German film trailer that I posted on the 3-disc set "All the Colors of Giallo". The blu-ray is chock full of giallo trailers. The included dvd contains 16 trailers for German "Krimi" films and a documentary explaining the genre (informative but boring). The third disc is a cd with soundtracks from two Italian giallo films and a theme from a third. It's a lot of content for the money, especially if you catch it on sale. I include film trailers in my listening sessions. They're good segues when going from one music genre or artist to another. For example, when I get on an early rock and roll kick, I'll include the trailer for High School Confidential (and other juvenile delinquent flicks). View YouTube Video Kinski has a filmography as long as my arm. Saxon, who changed his name, has prolific output as well. I didn't know Saxon had Italian ancestry until I looked him up. Helps to explain how he wound up in so many Italian and other international projects.
