LUCY (2014) - I hadn't even heard of the movie when I saw the trailer and I immediately thought that it reminded me of anime, so I'd give it a try. Plus, it was Luc Besson directing and I'd always wanted to see ScarJo in her own action vehicle.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - best scene in the trailer never made it to the final but it sure got me to see the movie.
Guardians of the Galaxy - it had a cool vibe that was evident throughout the actual movie.

Terminator 2..... but i would have gone to see it without even seeing a trailer.
Point Break
Up in the Air
Independence Day
The thing is that most movies i know pretty much whether i am going to see it at the theater or not before a trailer comes out. For example, next year i am positive i will go see Spectre, but yet we will be months away from a trailer. Sometimes a trailer has the opposite effect and i have a movie i want to see, then the trailer comes out and my enthusiasm complete disappears. Thats kind of what happened with the Terminator Genisys trailer. Up to seeing the trailer i was curious about this movie. Seeing the trailer was a back step for me. I might still go see it, but any subsequent trailers have to show a better movie than what was displayed in that first trailer. And shitty acting cannot be CGI'd out.

One of the Transformer movies where a GIANT building sized robot is reeking havoc down a freeway and from the side you see a very small by comparision Optimus Prime diving off an overpass in slow motion onto the decepticon robot.
I don't remember which one it was, all I remember is that in the end it was shit.

Million Ways to Die in the West. Seeing the Doc Brown/Delorean bit in the trailer made me defiantly want to see the film, even if that was the whole scene.

Similarly, Time Changer sounds horrible on paper, but the trailer had me laughing a good bit more than some movies released in 2002.
