The Best movie trailer you ever saw?
borrowing Solid Snake's idea...
regardless if you even saw the movie or it was a bomb at the BO. but the one that stands out the most because it was awesome!
i know this is more recent, but because of the Black Sabbath song and the kick-ass nature of the trailer, i have seen because i have sought it out and wanted to see the trailer for ...
"Iron Man"
<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pk1CUak3WJM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pk1CUak3WJM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>
i love the hell out of it everytime i see it. the scene where Iron Man shoots the petit missle at the big tank with just a sound of *squink*, he walks away, and then it blows is so well done.
i know there are others, but in recent memory that does it for me every single time.
what is the best movie trailer you ever saw? (and you don't have to include the actual trailer, but that would be fun too)

Re: The Best movie trailer you ever saw?
Best trailer of all I seen is this one..probably cause of the music and because I love sci-fi..and the ending of the trailer is kinda creepy.
Unfortunately I have yet to see the film LOL!

Not sure if my favorite of all time but one of the trailers that stands out the most. Got to see it (the trailer) when I still thought it was real but even after finding out it was not, I still loved it:

Re: The Best movie trailer you ever saw?
Damn you, scott1598! Damn you, for taking the Iron Man trailer!!!
For me it was actually this teaser for Iron Man:
<object width="450" height="237"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/362"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/362" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="237" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object>
and if I can't choose that well it's this:
<object width="450" height="238"><param name="movie" value="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/36"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.traileraddict.com/emd/36" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="450" height="238" allowFullScreen="true"></embed></object>

I remember seeing that Spidey teaser at a Yankees game about a week before 9/11. The crowd was pretty insane. Definitely one of the best.

This might be mine. Also the first full trailer for The Dark Knight which I recorded on the store DVR from HDNet and watched 20,000 times. And the teasers for Sin City and Watchmen.

Re: The Best movie trailer you ever saw?
The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer with Lux Aeterna music. It's become a somewhat cliched choice for trailer music, but I believe this was the first to use it, and the shots they selected were gorgeous (a few of them didn't make the final film, sadly).

A few favorites:
Magnolia (Teaser or Theatrical)
Sin City (again, either)
Strange Day's teaser amazed me when I first saw it, but it has lost much of its punch since its concept has be done to death by now.
