|---|---|---|
Honorable mentions: | ||
10. | The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) Thanks to this trailer, I discovered a hauntingly eerie Mortal Coil song called "Song to the Siren". | |
9. | Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992) Closest trailer that I could find...I actually preferred the teaser where suddenly Laura looked up at a flashing light. It looked cool because it left me curious about which Black Lodge inhabitant startled her like that. | |
8. | Snake Eyes (1998) One of many cases where the movie failed to live up to its trailer. These clips of a De Palma, Rahomon-like movie sure raised my expectations. | |
7. | The House of the Dead (2003) This trailer convinced me to see one of the worst movies ever made, so the editors who spliced it definately earned their paychecks. | |
6. | Death Sentence (2007) Goes to show how John Murphy's "In a Heartbeat" can really intensify an action montage. Disappointing movie, BTW. | |
5. | Independence Day (1996) The trailers for this movie blew me away. Nowadays the scenes pale in comparison to the 9/11 images, but at the time I couldn't wait to see this blockbuster. | |
4. | Sunshine (2007) I felt that the trailer actually captured the spirit of this movie pretty well. Compelled me to drive all the way to San Francisco to catch a limited release. You might recognize the music in this trailer as "Lux Aeterna" by Clint Mansell. | |
3. | Run Lola Run (1998) I remember seeing this trailer right before "The Blair Witch Project". Had no clue what the clips meant, but they certainly intrigued me and my brother. | |
2. | Ju-On: The Grudge (2003) Even the trailer to this movie scared me. The red MPAA screen also stood out--almost as if the curse had bloodied the normal green MPAA screen. | |
1. | Memento (2001) Didn't see this trailer until I bought the "Memento" DVD. I felt that it represented the theme of the movie perfectly without giving anything away. | |
