History Heartwarming / HonestTrailers

** Creator/WesCraven was honored at the end of the trailer for ''Film/TheHappening'' by having all the quotations at the end relate to his films.

* The narrator finds ''Film/{{Logan}}'' to be so good that he's having trouble making fun of it, especially during [[TearJerker very emotional scenes]] and RealityEnsues moments.

Surprisingly, [[EvenEvilHasStandards the Merc with a Mouth is equally in love with the movie and outright refuses to shit on Hugh Jackman's final hurrah as Wolverine]].

The HT for ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'' released a few days later, with the comments section filled with people begging to give a proper send-off from whoever takes over. The Honest Trailers channel was also giving an InMemoriam in his honor.
