Hey, all! Many movies have sucked because the trailers made them out to be so cool. However, maybe that's because they're such good trailers. So, what are the best trailers ever made? Mine:

Godzilla (1998) - Say what you want about the movie, but the film had one of the best ad campaigns ever. It did a perfect job of showing very litte, but just enough to get you very excited. The teaser with the guy fishing and the eye popping out at the end was awesome.

Episode 1 - The very 1st teaser. Slowly showing images, and softly playing the original score. Then, getting us into the story. Great trailer.

Magnolia - The final theatrical trailer. About 3 minutes, and perfectly advertising on how the movie will be/feel/look.

Signs - Basically every trailer they had. Like Godzilla, it was so great because it DIDN"T SHOW A LOT!! Instead of seeing the whole movie in 2 minutes, every trailer made me want more.

The original trailer for Spider-Man was really cool, I think. Too bad it got banned after 9/11 though because it was based on the WTC.

Also Dark City had an absolutely awesome trailer. Awesome movie too.

I'm drawing a blank now.

The Shining, the one where it just shows the blood coming down the stairs with the eerie music playing in the background, waaay creepy

I recently saw the trailer for Comedian and I think that qualifies as one of the best ever. No possibility of spoilers as there is no film footage in it and hysterically funny.

Others:
Trainspotting (Teaser with Renton tied to the railway line)
Spider-Man (Twin Towers spot)
Monsters Inc (Charades trailer)
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (If you see 1 movie this summer see STAR WARS. If you see 2 movies...)
