Greatest Trailers Ever
 
The world of movie trailers is a whole other dimension of the movie industry that often goes overlooked, or taken for granted. In a way, it's an artform of it's own.

Post some of the best trailers you've seen for movies. Even if the movie didn't end up being very good.


<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wJCUHKXYsxg&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wJCUHKXYsxg&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

This Alien 3 trailer is incredibly misleading, but a fan can dream...
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vYS_XmPOYuc&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vYS_XmPOYuc&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Probably the best trailer I've ever seen...
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/J4PcWepywNM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/J4PcWepywNM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Partial credit to mitchables for posting the Back to the Future trailer in the Better Movie #9 thread, obviously inspiring you here. :p

Jeritron 06-18-2009 12:16 AM
I'll award 1/2 credit

mitchables 06-18-2009 12:17 AM
Oh, sweet. That's even more than "partial", which I was gunning for.

Jeritron 06-18-2009 12:17 AM
Sorry to Hornicane. I had to remove your post from my sig because its way to big, and messes up threads. I'll resize it some time

Jeritron 06-18-2009 12:19 AM
Can we discuss how awesome that T2 trailer is/must have been?

I'm a fan of trailers that provide something exciting and interesting, but not tons of footage from the movie to spoil you silly.
They do "teasers" now, but they usually just feature the movie logo and a familiar theme song.

This movie was released after Jamie Foxx's hit Ray. If you watch this trailer you would get the impression that Foxx is the leading man. No no. This trailer does a great job of hiding the fact that in Stealth, Foxx has the small role and actually dies not far into the movie. Genius marketing.

The movie was a disappointment but The Matrix: Reloaded has a ballin trailer

<object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/F0On9Hf7Quc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/F0On9Hf7Quc&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="445" height="364"></embed></object>

Supreme Olajuwon 06-18-2009 12:37 AM
probably because it's every action seen from the movie

Jeritron 06-18-2009 12:38 AM
That was an amazing trailer. Bad movie, but great trailer.

Cloverfields first trailer.

Triple Naitch 06-18-2009 05:08 PM
Some of his movies aren't very good, but M. Night Shyamalan can make a damn good trailer.

Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are awesome.
The Happening is a steaming pile of monkey shit on a paper plate.

The Alien 3 trailer was misleading, yeah, but it wasn't intentionally so. They originally wanted to do an Alien invasion on Earth, but due to budget cuts and all the other stuff that happens when a movie gets stuck in Development Hell, they went through at least a dozen different scripts and directors before eking out the final version.
[/fanboy]

Anyway, my favorite trailers (though by no means my favorite movies) would have to be:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/E4blSrZvPhU&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/E4blSrZvPhU&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IvNkGm8mxiM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IvNkGm8mxiM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/YKFLrTYKIXk&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/YKFLrTYKIXk&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

And although these haven't actually come out yet:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ldWxKdzMecA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ldWxKdzMecA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KuPALEB5ZvM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KuPALEB5ZvM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

That's the thing about M. Night. His movies keep getting shittier and shittier, yet somehow those trailers make people want to see them.

These are my top four trailers. All four of these made me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. Listed in the order of when they first came out.

Watchmen and Garden State both amazing. Hands down winner is Sin City though. Only trailer that ever made me go I HAVE TO see this movie.

ORANGE-LOCKE 03-24-2010 04:05 PM
Don't really think they were all that great of movies, but i remember how excited i was when i saw these for the 1st time...especially the last shot of the "New Nightmare" teaser.

And for the record, Sin City and T2 were the top 2 i've seen that took me back and remember thinking how i had to see them..
