All the below are slogans or “taglines” used to promote films. Name them. All are listed in chronological order, from 1930 to 1976 – I’ve indicated which decades they are from. There is nothing obscure, many are iconic, many trend-setters for their genre, just work them out. Please don’t just find a website with lists of taglines, as this would take away the point of working them out from the clues.
