Yes! Pure genius at work. Oh man, when I saw this trailer ALL I could think of was... "I've got to see this movie..." I was filled with so much anticipation. What more could you ask from a trailer? The bonus was that the movie actually lived up to the excitement of the trailer.

I loved one for the Minus Man. The DVD contained two-one was a conventional one, but the other dealt with a couple's reactions to the film. It alone is enough to justify a rental (although the movie was good too).

My other favorite trailer/teaser of all time is The Shining (that still gives me chills whenever I think about it) and as far as ones I've seen in the theater I'd have to go with Unbreakable.

For a trailer that starts out focusing on an actor and not the film itself, one that I always enjoy is Replacement Killers for Chow Yun Fat. ... the voice over says something like ... "in cinemas around the world ... where action is nearly a religion ... one man is their leader "... something something ... anyhow ... check it out.

Disney (animated)Trailers usually suck, but several Disney titles, including House of Villains have a trailer for the upcoming "Treasure Planet".
check it out

I love the Pink Flamingos trailer. Not a second of footage from the movie in it, just interviews of dazed people who just got out from a screening.

The Seinfeld movie "Comedian" trailer that mocks trailers is also a great one.

The 2001 trailer and the Japanesse version of the T2 trailer (now that was funny - see T2 Ultimate DVD)

Alien by far is the greatest trailer ever.

though as was stated above the trailer for 'the comedian' is excellent

trailers should not give away the plot of a film, they should be made to make you wonder what is to happen. Most modern day trailers tell you everything that will happen in the film.

The unbreakable trailer does kick ass, and I love the Friday the 13th part 2 trailer. They give up every thing almost. I like the new Red Dragon trailer, but I am worried that the movie is going to be as bad as hannibal.

The Basic Instinct trailer blew me away when I first saw it!

Any known sites with streaming/downloadable older trailers?

My favorites are the hidden Matrix trailer on The Matrix Revisited DVD, and the FOTR trailers.

Some of my faves

Pearl Harbor Trailer
Superman Teaser
LOTR: TTT Trailer
Independance Day Trailer
Die Hard With A Vengeance Trailer
Basic Instinct Trailer

My favorite trailer was Pearl Harbor (it made a disappointing movie look very sweet). However, it is now the theatrical trailer to Black Hawk Down. Just a very nice trailer.

If you can't wait or are not getting the 2 disc lotr ttt since it won't be on the ee dvd

I'm gonna go with Pearl Harbor as well. I was so jacked for the film b/c I just KNEW Hollywood was gonna give us a historical blockbuster epic on a period of history that just fascinates me...thanks alot boys!

Also, the Chicken Run trailer on the Gladiator DVD is pretty funny, too.

The LOTR trailers on Rush Hour 2 are pretty good as well.

I never saw the Unbreakable trailer...anyone got any info where I could locate that? Thanks.

Its not on the dvd. Its one of the trailers on double take if interested (I enjoyed the movie, but rent first.)

I loved the Scorpio version of Episode I. Fan filmed bootleg of the first showing of the teaser trailer. People were going nuts. I remember downloading it off www.countingdown.com (I believe) at work and there must have been 30 people around my desk watching it.

I absolutely love the Dark City trailer. The score and the shots shown are great, and give a really eery feeling to the movie. The trailer is the only reason I ever checked the movie out, and ending up loving it.

Another vote for Alien

And, The Shining trailer with the elevator doors opening and the tidal wave of blood pouring out was quite creepy also.

I remember really liking the Pearl Harbor trailer in the theaters, however, did anyone notice that they changed the music for the teaser trailer when they put it on dvd? The trailer originally gave me chills as I watched it, mainly due to the haunting score from Hans Zimmer's Thin Red Line score. However, the music was replaced by some other, less moving music, for the dvd trailer. Was anyone dissapointed as much as I was by this? I'm glad that I still have the original trailer saved on some cd somewhere.

I know exactly what you are talking about. To tell you the truth, I thought I was the only one. It did make me sad, as the original score was much better.

Cliffhanger
TTT
Pirates of the Caribbean
Pearl Harbor

The one that immediately jumps to mind is Hard Boiled. It's just three minutes of solid badass action from the movie. I've probably watched it more than the movie itself.

I'm also very fond of the Full Frontal trailer where it's just black with monlogues over it, but I seem to be the only one. Of course, you could say the same thing about the movie

Jeeper Creepers 2.I can't wait for this movie.

Time Bandits--
"No expense has been pared... Spared!"

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (Teaser)--
Ford + Fedora + Staple Gun

Oh, and, of course:
Hitchcock's introduction to Psycho--
'Nuff said.
