The Most Underrated Man in Show Business

Decades before reality TV grabbed hold of American culture Albert Brooks was skewering it. With 1979's "Real Life" Brooks made a film as funny as it was ahead of its time. His style is one of a kind but he remains obscure to much of the world. He also understands the fine art of the trailer. Here is, for my money, maybe the best trailer in movie history. Not one frame of the actual film appears but it perfectly illustrates the character Brooks plays in "Real Life," an utterly ridiculous version of himself. Grab your 3-D glasses!
