Top 12 Recent Movie Trailers

Atonement

The best thing about this trailer is the gradual progression from relative sanity, to utter chaos. You see Saoirse Ronan and Kiera Knightly just lounging in the grass, and all of a sudden you’re in the middle of a war. What also aids the trailer is the original score by composer Dario Marianelli, which actually won the Academy Award for Best Original Score.

Music: Atonement (Music from the Motion Picture) – Dario Marianelli (iTunes : Amazon)

    Well, these are all good, but you've missed a few amazing ones that at least made me go see their respective movies:

    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow:

    the robots, the retro 50s feel with an alternate reality storyline, this trailer got lots of people anxious, but sadly, none of them went to go see the movie. I did though, it was good, better then the critics gave it anyway.

    V for Vendetta:

    That trailer was phenomenal, it gave the basic plot, and promised twists, conspericies, and explosions. I loved the movie, and the trailer.

    Cloverfield:

    Probably the one trailer that got the most people to go see the movie. This is in my opinion, a perfect trailer. NYC is under attack from something, and that's all you know. I have yet to see a trailer that was as perfectly suited for a movie that succeded to well.

    I saw all three of the movies i listed, but I only saw 5 of the ones you listed, and mostly not because of the trailers.

    I am curious though, which movies didn't live up to the trailers in your mind?

    Ooh, V for Vendetta… Good one! That was a great movie, and had a great trailer as well!

    Unfortunately, both Miss Potter and Elizabeth: The Golden Age didn't live up to the trailers for me. I was so EXCITED about Elizabeth, too, probably because I enjoyed the first one so much, that it probably could never live up to the version I had in mind. Still a good movie, but sometimes I like to watch the trailer and think of what might have been.
