Regardless of what you think about the films themselves, movie trailers have the ability to cleverly create intrigue in an audience.
This interesting list from IFC has a lot of recent films on it, including some surprisingly good trailers and a bit of history about the movie trailer's origin (like why they're called
trailers, even though they precede the film).
I don't agree with the list, but I like the idea and history of it. Big fan of the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind trailer. This one.
ReplyDeleteCam, that one should have definitely made the list! I was curious as to why so many recent films trumped older trailers...but then I watched the older trailers and realized why. I gotta admit, Alien's trailer might be one of the best one's I've ever seen, so I'm glad it was #1.
