This most likely has been done before, but I love the art of movie trailers--Why aren't they included as much as they used to be on DVD (and Bluray)?

But I'd like to dedicate this thread to a terrific artform. I found these to be some of the most imaginative, well cut and innovative:

What are your favorite trailers? Remember: it doesn't have to belong to a film you like--I'm not much a fan of "Magnolia" but I love the main trailer.


(If these embeddings cause any trouble, I'll take them down.)

Oooh. Almost forgot this gem. Best timed-to-the-music trailer ever.

That's a good one. And while I loathe the Special Editions, TESB SE trailer is pretty sweet.

This trailer seems to never last at youtube, but I'll give it a shot anyway

I post this in every one of these "Best Trailer" threads (I haven't looked for them but they're out there.) it'd be perfect if it weren't for the text.

One of the best examples surpassing of the movie trailer surpassing the advertised movie in every freakin' way:

Best bit: "MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?" Perfect.

Off the top of my head this is one that always stood out to me.

I still really enjoyed W.; it was more of a biographical film than the more stylish Nixon and it's moral thread was much clearer. The trailer is amazing though and the Tony Scott-version it portends would have been great.

Thanks redrum for making revisiting that superman trailer.....4 times in a row - here's one I've always enjoyed:

My fav trailer of all time is from Star Wars I (TPM).

Not saying the movie was the best, but boy did that trailer fire up myself and all of my buddies.

That is one hell of a trailer...never seen it thanks for posting. Haven't seen this film yet either.
