Trailers

[Thomas Anderson]

What are your favourite movie trailers? Ones that really got you excited about the movie.

For me my favourite is the final trailer for Star Wars Episode II Attack Of The Clones (http://www.starwars.com/episode-ii/video/trailers/clonewar/index.html). There was plenty in the trailer to whet your apetite for the movie, but not too much to give away the plot points. Another favourite of mine is the theatrical trailer for The Matrix Revolutions (http://progressive.warnerbros.com/thematrix/us/med/rev_theatre_0x3839_640_dl.mov). It was quite short but very to the point, with some cool shots of the super burly brawl and a few shots of the attack on Zion.

Another I saw recently was the Shrek 2 trailer. There are some really funny bits in it.

The main site for trailers is the official Apple (http://www.apple.com/trailers) site. They have pretty much every trailer for new and upcoming movies, available in multiple formats and for different bandwidths. There is also Movie List (http://www.movie-list.com), which has a lot of new ones, some classic ones and some available for saving instead of streaming.

The Transporter and Kill Bill are the two best trailers I've come across.

For any of you who have seen them, you have to admire the trailers for Chinese films...the basically show you the entire movie, sometimes over a span of about 5 minutes, leaving no reason to see the movie at all. Unless you're like me and you buy every foreign film you come across, regardless.

I don´t have one all-time favourite but the ones that come to my mind now are for Comedian, that Jerry Seinfeld documentary and another one that looked cool is The Day After Tomorrow. Although too often trailers look great and promising and then when you see the final product, you regret you ever went to see it and you want your money back.

I just saw the trailer to the Last Samurai and that looked really good. I used to love the trailer to Independence Day and of course The Lord of the Rings.
