The Best Movie Trailers of 2020
From the memorable to the meme-worthy, here are the movie trailers that piqued our interest in 2020.

In this entry, we explore the best movie trailers of 2020.
If you’re reading this, you don’t need me to tell you that this year was a doozy. Just about everything in 2020 has felt surreal. And reviewing this year’s movie trailers was no different.
