the LOTR FOTR full trailer strikes me as one of the best dvd trailers, and best trailers of all time. Even now when I watch the trailer, I still get chills (one of the few trailers that does this).

Another one of the best trailers was the Abyss full trailer. Accompanied by the Michael Stearn's soundtrack to Chronos, it really compells you to watch the film. The films teaser trailer was equally intruiging and did exactly what a teaser should do... it entices you to want to see what the mystery is about.

I also enjoyed the trailers for the Thing and the Exorcist. The exorsist trailer, with the spooky black and white flash cuts, accompanied by the evil, demonic faces and the creepy music, was .. well.. creepy!

The trailer to Stange Days:

as long as the trailer doesn't include Mr. Movie voice guy, and its a movie I am really looking forward to I usually like it, I think the only trailers that stick out in my mind that I really liked are not because of the trailer itself but the anticipation of the movie, such as star wars ep 1, and two towers

Pearl Harbour. And recently, The Pianist.

A.I. The Artificial Intelligence teaser.
And definitely the teaser for The Phantom Menace. That blows up my mind.

except Toy Story 2 teaser trailer. That was hilarious as hell.

"What a Toy Story 2 would be without... Buzz Lightyear?"

"A good movie"

Strange dayz
unbreakable
I really love the way the trailer is cut to the music in QT's new flick Kill Bill

i liked the monster's inc. trailer where sully and mike are playing charades. also, the teaser for a bug's life where they all sit on a leaf and then the leaf breaks is classic.

pixar's teaser's are more like short animated films.

My favorite trailer is for Judge Dredd

My other favorite is Scream

Basic Instinct

The Dark Knight (latter two trailers)

Batman Begins (1st full trailer before Ocean's 12)

Batman (1989) teaser...VERY rare and impossible to find online, but GREAT if you can find it

Sin City teaser (watched this approximately 28,000 times before its release)

Superman Returns teaser...when I saw it the first time in theaters before V for Vendetta my head nearly exploded from sheer amazement. One of the best examples of a GREAT trailer with a movie that can't match it.

Escape from L.A.
Streets of Fire
Goodfellas
Alien (preferably the "Word of Warning" teaser)
Aliens (full trailer)
T2 teaser
Natural Born Killers
Wild at Heart
Pulp Fiction
Clerks
Jaws teaser
The Shining

Quantum of Solace might be this year's best trailer.

Episode I comes close though.

watchmen
star trek 6
episode 1

In the early 80's I thought the Atari Yar's Revenge trailer shown in theaters (anyone remember it? A fly... A mutant fly.....) was the sh*t! I know, not a film, but a cool teaser...
