What's up, all? Well, this is my first thread at joblo.com. Anyways, I wanted to throw a question out that everyone has an opinion on. What film had the best ad campaign? This doesn't necessairly have to be from a good film. If the film was marketed well, put it. I'm talking teasers, trailers, commericals, posters, all of that. What do you think? Here are mine:
Godzilla (The teasers and ads were awesome, but the movie wasn't as good)
Most Kubrick films
A.I. (Showing very little throughout the promos)

Pearl Harbor is the best one in recent memory.

X-Men 2-I haven't seen the movie yet, but from the ads and trailers, I'm definitely excited to see this.
Phantom Menace-Undoubtably having one of the best theatrical trailers of all time, coupled with the commercials made this one for the history books. Too bad the movie wasn't that good

I agree with sleekproductions on this one. Talk about one of the best trailers I've ever seen. Posters everywhere I went. Television commercials. Specials on the movie, the works. Even though the movie is flawed and average. Its marketing was top notch, quite possibly a reason it made lots of money dispite bad initial reviews.

Yeah, and the Pearl Harbor trailers made it actually look like a good movie!

Today I saw two great ads... Kill Bill and 28 Days Later... Okay enough of that. Good movie campaigns are ones that transcend mere previews and posters. Austin Powers does a good job and so does the new Matrix movie. They both used product placement to their advantages.

The Phantom Menace was everywhere back in 1999.

I loved the trailer for Unbreakable, and also the ORIGINAL trailer for Spider-Man (the one that got banned because it shows the WTC). I'd have to say I think Spider-Man had the best ad campaign in recent memory, even if it was over-hyped.

The ad campaign for Steven Speilberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence was brilliant. Showing very little, but creating a web of mystery. It made me insanely excited to see the film, and, lo behold, it is one of the finest ever made.
