If you were (or a had) a child of the 80's or 90's then you're probably familiar with Oregon Trail, everyone's favorite early computer game about traveling west in the 1800s. The best part about playing it wasn't its intended purpose, to teach children how settlers migrated west via wagon train, but its potential for comedy.
That's why we loved this trailer for an Oregon Trail movie. This well-made preview hits every memorable mark, such as giving the people in your party ridiculous names like "Poop Face," everyone constantly getting dysentery, and only being able to bring back 10 pounds of the 1000-pound buffalo you shot. We really wish this was actually being made, but until Hollywood realizes its got a gem on its hands, we'll stick to re-watching this trailer over and over, remembering our favorite childhood game and the great lessons it taught, such as "no one wants to be the carpenter." (Thanks Trevor C.!)
