http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl5WHj0bZ2Q

and the recalled spiderman trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Foz_QZW3w

[Rickard]

fuckfucckfuckfuckfuck

I know I've got one but I just can't remember it.

 

[Scarecrow]

I like the Aliens trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brEzYdLrPws

"This time, it's war"

 

[VeryGooster]

In before Inception trailers galore.

OP already posted the Casino Royale trailer. Bleh! :/

I always liked the Spider-Man 2 trailer that played during the Friends finale: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpgrOgypc9g

Edit:
God, the Aliens teaser is scary as shit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fheA6Ua_nNc

 

[Ovid]

This will always be my favorite trailer.

Terminator 2 Teaser
LINK

It's funny how there is no CGI in this trailer, yet the film changed the way movies were made by its use of CGI...how ironic.

 

[VeryGooster]

This will always be my favorite trailer.

Terminator 2 Teaser
LINK

When I first got the T2 Ultimate Edition DVD, I must have watched that a thousand times. So badass.

 

[RustyNails]

You've changed things. Forever. See to them, you're just a freak...LIKE ME! AHHHH HA HA HA HA

 

[Solo]

Spider-Man 2
Return of the King
Casino Royale
Star Trek (Trailer 3 w/Two Steps From Hell)

 

[Doc Holliday]

Watching the Episode 1 Trailer makes me so sad considering how badly it turned out.

Edit:

We sure its legit? I only ask because the music is pretty much right out of the original Alien trailer, which is all pretty goddamn scary.

Oh, and a favorite of mine (of which I have scores of):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouZkkIsLiNg

Still love the tagline:

"Man is the warmest place to hide."

 

[Krev]

Alien - a true classic.

Magnolia teaser and trailer

Punch-Drunk Love

Strange Days teaser and trailer

Superman Returns teaser, listed here as 'trailer 1'. Much better than the film!

A Clockwork Orange

Eyes Wide Shut

Cliffhanger - this one started the trend of 'big epic operatic music!' in action movie trailers. It might seem cliche now, but it was a stroke of brilliance at the time.

The End of Evangelion

The new trailer for The Tree of Life belongs in this list, but sadly won't be online for over a week.

 

[AkuMifune]

I remember thinking the 2nd Watchmen trailer was pretty amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB3AxenYAyU&feature=related

Yeah, it was.

 

[Guzim]

The Dark Knight

And for worst trailer ever: Batman Forever

 

[ngower]

Marie Antoinette got me into New Order's Age of Consent, which turned me on to Joy Division, which changed my life.

It's called continuity, brah

 

[WillyFive]

Star Trek (Trailer 3 w/Two Steps From Hell)

Really? I thought that was a really bad trailer, and combined with Trailer 2 it almost made me not want to see the music, because I feared it was going to be awful. The music didn't even fit what was on screen; it was all very cheesy, especially at the "Pull the chute" and "We don't have a captain/Yes we do" parts. Kirk sits down, and the chorus sings. :lol It was hyping it up as this ridiculous emotional overwrought drama.

This is the best Star Trek trailer, I think:

Star Trek's teaser

Simple, mysterious, yet exciting. Especially the use of Kennedy's speech.

A Clockwork Orange

It's amazing how great this trailer is.

 

[W Hudson]

I always liked the Starship Troopers trailer. Don LaFontaine is the man.

TRAILER

 

[Krev]

I remember thinking the 2nd Watchmen trailer was pretty amazing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB3AxenYAyU&feature=related

Yeah, it was.

EDIT: Woops, don't mind this post. That trailer is by BLT AV.

 

[-COOLIO-]

Superman Returns teaser, listed here as 'trailer 1'. Much better than the film!

wow

i loved the movie too though

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

No Country for Old Men- Red band trailer, featuring the Black Angels

Terminator Salvation. Regardless of how the movie turned out, the trailer was awesome.

Even more recently, I liked the Battle for LA trailer.

 

[Blader]

Honestly, I liked the Quantum of Solace trailer way more than Casino Royale's.

"You don't have to worry about me."

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

I didn't like the movie very much, but the 300 Trailer is one of the better cut ones I've seen.

 

[Empty]

where the wild things are

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01-PqqifyjA

combination of the imagery and "wake up" is amazing, especially in the running scenes. very well cut trailer.

 

[NumberTwo]

BRRRRRRR! do do do do do do do do BRRRRRRR!

 

[Discotheque]

Miami Vice
Return of the King
Superman Returns
TDK
Spiderman 1

Can't really name any old trailers. Cause I haven't seen many. But these ones have been ingrained into my memory as I grew up.

 

[sixteen-bit]

This will always be my favorite trailer.

Terminator 2 Teaser

[Gaborn]

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

 

[Blair]

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp2ppYB9fDo


Probably not the hardest trailer to make, what with the wealth of visual mastery in the film.

 

[DMczaf]

Honestly, I liked the Quantum of Solace trailer way more than Casino Royale's.

"You don't have to worry about me."

It turns out we did.

 

[MilesWebber]

This is kind of nerdy but the remake of Texas Chainsaw Massacre had some AMAZING sound work. Towards the end, there's only sound with credits on the screen. If you have surround sound it REALLY sounds like you're in the room with leatherface, I saw the trailer at a digital theater and it was pitch black. Awesome. I still use it to show off my sound system at home.

[Fantastical]

Red Eye Trailer - Watch the whole thing.

Both Watchmen trailers were amazing. Really like the first one.

Trailers are truly some of the best editing in the industry.

 

[Kusagari]

300 for spawning like 5 memes in under 3 minutes.

 

[faceless007]

Grindhouse.

Spider-Man introduced me to E.S. Posthumus which makes it awesome.

Planet of the Apes for the same reason.

Spider-Man 2 introduced me to Immediate Music.

Spider-Man 3 introduced me to James Dooley.

Hate the movies but damn that company makes epic trailers.

 

[deadmuffin]

The Dark Knight

This. and the first ironman trailer

 

[UrokeJoe]

Almost Famous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk0XnyrENrE

It takes me back.

 

[Plissken]

I remember EVERYONE wondering what the hell ID4 was when they showed the Super Bowl trailer way back when. The actual movie didn't live up to the hype, but the trailer was epic at the time, seeing the White House blow up was awesome.

Totally forgot about this, but yeah, excellent trailer.

Grindhouse.

Ah, man. I forgot about this. Love this trailer. That narrator is amazing. Anyone know his name?

 

[UrokeJoe]

Up in the Air

Yes.

 

[Krev]

Up in the Air

Another one better than the movie.

Some other good ones:
A Serious Man

Contempt

 

[Buttonbasher]

Cloverfield's Teaser Trailer

The fact it didn't have a title and was so damn mysterious. One of my favorites.

Fun fact: the guy at the very end "This night's going to be the best night ever" co-wrote Tron Legacy.

 

[DevelopmentArrested]

Up in the Air
Watchmen
Inception
