Mission Impossible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbg99ykA2bk

Also the trailers for both Crank movies are pretty awesome.

 

[enzo_gt]

Miami Vice

Yes holy shit. Was 10x awesomer than the movie. Even though I'm prob one of the few who liked the movie too.

 

[3dmodeler]

The matrix reloaded teaser was pretty cool.

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

The full trailer was better even with the obvious digital stunt doubles.

The trailer was good, but the movie was a near masterpiece.

[black_13]

Grindhouse.

Totally my favorite. I enjoyed it even more than the movie.

 

[VisionaryQuest0]

All three Lord of The Rings movies had great trailers.

Fellowship of The Ring

The Two Towers

Return of The King

 

[DrForester]

Special Monster's Inc trailer played 1 week AFTER the movie came out in front of the first Harry Potter film.

[Hasphat'sAnts]

All three Lord of The Rings movies had great trailers.

Fellowship of The Ring

The Two Towers

Return of The King

They're all good, but it's pretty clear that RotK's trailer was head and shoulders above the other two.

Miami Vice

Holy shit I forgot how much I loved that trailer. Used to watch it over and over again back in the day...

too bad about the actual movie

 

[Discotheque]

Movie was good. Just as stylish as that trailer.

 

[Veidt]

This year:
Battle LA
True Grit


All time:
Star Trek
And some others that I can't remember right now.

 

[professor_t]

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

This was going to be my contribution. Goddamn that is good (and showcases perhaps the biggest discrepancy between a trailer and the actual film).

 

[Solo]

Movie was good. Just as stylish as that trailer.

Movie is fucking GREAT. Also yea, I forgot to mention MV's trailer. The way the loading of the clips is edited to match the music is fucking awesome.

 

[Krev]

Anybody who loves Miami Vice is okay with me.
*brofist*

 

[MooSeePoo]

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

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

I preferred the Adam & Joe Proposed Music / Trailier

The Thingy of Whatsit?

 

[Midas]

This. The Comedian.

Something of Boris...

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Battle Los Angeles has probably one of the greatest trailers I've seen in years. So fucking haunting.

 

[Krev]

Battle Los Angeles has probably one of the greatest trailers I've seen in years. So fucking haunting.

I suspect this is going to be a new champion in the "trailers better than the movie" category.

 

[NaughtyCalibur]

Yeah. I heard the movie wasn't good. Better than Skyline, at least.

 

[Arment]

At World's End had a really good trailer. Specifically the fight scene between Jack and Davy Jones being perfectly timed to the music.

Just got done with it. So epic. Especially the sword fight! :lol

 

[ultron87]

Return of the King

This one is so great.

And I always liked the version of Aragorn's speech that they use in the trailer way more than what they used in the film.

 

[Hawkian]

The Sin City trailer with the instrumental version of that one song...

 

[ascii42]

All three Lord of The Rings movies had great trailers.

Fellowship of The Ring

The Two Towers

Return of The King

Yeah, I came in here to post Return of the King. All three are good though.

 

[sooperkool]

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

TRAILER

I always liked the one with Song 2 a lot better.

 

[dark_chris]

This trailer gave me goosebumps. It really did give me a dark feel. I think the movie shoulda been more dark and grim.

[dark_chris]

The Sin City trailer with the instrumental version of that one song...

Its called Cells by The Servants

Edit:
Heres the song, instrumental.

[Souldriver]

Always liked this trailer for Transformers.

It's basically just because of the music playing between 0:48-1:35. It's the song Timeline from X-ray Dog. Other than that though, the trailer is nothing special and the movie is fairly shitty.

 

[dmshaposv]

I can't believe no one has mentioned it...

Watchmen teaser trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4blSrZvPhU

Ultra slick, amazing choice of music. Excellent editing.

Better than the movie.

I mentioned it.

And I agree... better than the movie.

 

[Hawkian]

I think that trailer/movie and this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKFLrTYKIXk

Both suffer from that particular predicament.

It's that style over substance.

Trailers favor those types of movies.

 

[mm04]

I remember being in the theater and when this trailer started, I thought it was going to be the friggin awesome...Well, not as good as I'd hoped. Contact.

 

[Broken Arrow]

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

I came here to post this.

I was literally wacking my dick while watching this trailer.

Fucking movie sucked...

 

[mojiimbo]

The Assassination of Jesse James

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

Probably my favorite trailer ever. Glad that I at least got to watch it theatrically like five times even though I had to wait until the Blu-ray to watch the actual feature.

 

[Kronotech]

Freddy vs. Jason
I'm not a huge horror fan but this trailer was awesome.

 

[MechDX]

I always liked the one with Song 2 a lot better.

Yes.Yes.Yes!


Especially at the end when they state "Dont.Mess.With.Earth!" Makes you want to jump in the theatre and bump chests with the guy next to you.:lol

 

[Community Forum]

This. The Comedian.

I came in here just to see if The Comedian was posted.

Guys, it's just Comedian.

 

[Platy]

I have a soft spot for metalanguage ... so i will go with the already posted Comedian and ..

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy "trailer" definition

Be Kind Rewind "sweded" version of the trailer (god i love gondry)

and also special mention to trailers that don't fit footage of the movie .. like those awesome Lilo&Stich trailers

--------
edit : there is also this list of 24 movie trailers that works alone and my favorite BY FAR is the Femme Fatale trailer

 

[GhaleonEB]

Holy shit I forgot how much I loved that trailer. Used to watch it over and over again back in the day...

Same, I watched that trailer over and over. The cast, the concept, and Mann. Didn't like the movie; I was crushed after seeing it.

My contribution: The Abyss

The pseudo documentary introduction bolted onto a stellar trailer. The editing is cut perfectly to the music, which I've had wedged in my brain for nearly 15 years now.

"You have to look with better eyes than that."

At World's End had a really good trailer. Specifically the fight scene between Jack and Davy Jones being perfectly timed to the music.

Just got done with it. So epic. Especially the sword fight! :lol

I've always been partial to the Dead Man's Chest trailer. Pretty intense with some great editing and music.

 

[bafflewaffle]

PUTNEY SWOPE, BEST TRAILER OF ALL TIME!!!!

 

[Good Job Bob]

Special Monster's Inc trailer played 1 week AFTER the movie came out in front of the first Harry Potter film.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZIY2-kH-wE

That's awesome.

Cloverfield's Teaser Trailer

yep

 

[jett]

this is some bump

 

[Dany]

Inception - Trailer 2

It barely told you anything about the movie but you knew that you would want to see it.

 

[- J - D -]

Any notable awesome trailers since Dec. 2010? Hmmm...Lessee...Prometheus was pretty good.

I also like the trend of teaser teaser trailers that hype up nothing but a release date for the actual teaser trailer. That's great.
