we arrived early to the theater just to
see what else is in store welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 best movie
trailers they call themselves the
guardians of the galaxy and a bunch of
a-holes
for this list we’re taking a look at
those movie trailers that mastered the
art of the tease
these trailers manage to be entertaining
exciting and keep the spirit of the
feature-length film without revealing
too much of the plot but we’re leaving
off teaser trailers because they don’t
tell much of a story at all most
importantly our pics make us want to see
the entire film whether or not the
actual movie sucks patience isn’t my
strongest suit you’ve changed things
number 10 The Dark Knight writer
director Christopher Nolan’s gritty take
on the Batman franchise was a stark
deviation from some of the campy er
iterations see to them here just a freak
like me this trailer emphasizes the dark
in Dark Knight giving us glimpses of a
decidedly grimmer Joker and a Gotham
City at the mercy of a madman evening
commissioner
it also highlights Heath Ledger’s
brilliant turn as the sadistic villain
with a penchant for chaos why so serious
where is he
all without ruining the film by giving
the audience too much info let’s put a
smile on that face
number 9 Godzilla you’re not fooling
anybody when you say that what happened
was a natural disaster cities and towns
destroyed dramatic dialogue people
running and relevant backstory
yeah it’s formulaic for a man against
monster movie but will be damned if it’s
not effective because what’s really
happening is that you’re hiding
something out there in spite of use of
pulverized cities like San Francisco and
Las Vegas including a mauled replica of
the Statue of Liberty the audience is
only given glimpses of the eponymous
creature there’s nuclear tests in the
Pacific
notice they were trying to kill it plus
it stars everyone’s favorite chemistry
teacher turned meth kingpin
Bryan Cranston you have no idea what
coming
no more fall play number eight Goldeneye
in 95 we got a new bond and with him we
got a pretty exciting trailer Pierce
Brosnan saunters his way into his role
as double-oh-seven
establishing himself as the new Bond
debonair and dangerous enough to handle
the tough stuff
thank you pardon forgot to knock and
from all the explosions gunplay sex play
and angry villains it appears that he is
precisely killer
it’s a whole new era of bond played by
the dude from mrs. Doubtfire
number seven watch me
– back crack’s through
we may not know who watches the Watchmen
but we do know who watched the trailer
fans of the comic were treated to an
expertly crafted preview one that
managed to mask how underwhelming the
actual film was we get to briefly
witness the makings of dr. Manhattan as
well as fairly exciting appearances by
Silk Spectre – and Rorschach
it seemed like it was going to be a
must-see even if it actually wasn’t the
world will look up and shout save us
I’ll whisper
number six the social network I need to
do something substantial in order to get
the attention of the club’s why because
they’re exclusive and fun and made me to
a better life who know making a social
media site could be so dramatic
I’m talking about taking the entire
social experience of college and putting
it online
apparently when you’re behind the most
popular social networking site in
history things can get a little hairy as
evidenced by the scenes in this trailer
you’re being accused of intentionally
breaching security violating copyrights
violating individual privacy there’s
drama there’s friction there’s
friendships being ended by court
proceedings
there’s even Justin Timberlake for
whatever reason in dollars isn’t cool
you know it’s cool a billion dollar
going to get left behind and who can
forget the unforgettable and haunting
soundtrack which part
Miramax Films is proud to present one of
the most celebrated motion pictures of
the year number five pulp fiction the
best picture of the can Film Festival
come on it’s getting character audiences
probably hadn’t expected to see John
Travolta and this intersecting crime
drama this is a more passive one and
while he does end up dancing in the film
the trailer gives us just enough to make
us realize that that’s not the focus of
the story John Travolta Samuel no
Jackson
Harvey Keitel Tim Wong amanda plummer
maria de Medeiros bing rings Eric stones
rosanna arquette
Christopher Walken
bruce willis between guns being drawn
drugs being consumed and samuel
l.jackson verbally castrating someone oh
I’m sorry did I break your concentration
the trailer reveals almost nothing other
than delightful chaos oh she’s gonna do
this basically I’m just going to walk
there push me walk the earth
you know like dog food what’s the most
resilient parasite an idea number four
inception trying to figure out the film
based on the trailer alone is a
fruitless effort particularly given the
complexity of the entire film altogether
never recreate from your memory always
imagined new places then the less the
preview does an incredible job of making
you have to see this Christopher Nolan
movie a single idea from the human mind
can build cities between the folding
cityscapes frozen action sequences and
surreal dream elements it succeeds in
looking immensely interesting and
watching Joseph gordon-levitt in a fight
is always entertaining
number three Cloverfield from the start
of the trailer it looks like the movie
could have easily been some sappy
rom-com full of attractive 20-somethings
in the city my name is Robert Hawkins
approximately seven hours ago some thing
attacked the city you found this if
you’re watching this then you know more
about it than I do
instead the trailer reveals that these
attractive 20-somethings are under
attack by well you never really see
but what you do see is the Statue of
Liberty severed head fertile down a city
street like a bowling ball too bad the
rest of the film wasn’t as wickedly
exciting what’s up number two the Lord
of the Rings the two towers what
business is an elf a man and a dwarf
have in the riddermark spree quickly the
first installment in the trilogy the
Fellowship of the Ring had already set
audience expectations tsunami breakfast
scene will purpose to destroy the world
of men even without reading the Tolkien
novels we knew there was a ring some
hobbits and a lot of danger you must
lead the people to helms deep
I ordered the king the city must empty
the trailer for the second installment
not only shows us the advancement of the
story but what really makes this trailer
epic is its soundtrack
the reworked theme from requiem for a
dream drives the action making this a
chilling teaser for the franchise’s
second installment there’s nothing for
you here only death
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
emergency evasive fire a bag
there is a new enemy out there mutants
you’ll need a new weapon for this war I
know what I have to do it’s us without
those years wasted fighting each other
Charles I saw their belief if the world
found out who I really was
it reject me
he was convinced that the world wasn’t
ready
what do you think
number one alien this film was
groundbreaking in a number of ways and
that extends to its trailer
one can’t typically expect much terror
in a two minute trailer at least usually
but the sneak peak for this epically
creepy film manages to pack in just
enough darkness dread and poor to give
audiences nightmares and that’s before
they saw the film the trailer doesn’t
give us all the details but it does give
us just enough to make us thankful that
it’s just a movie

think is the best movie trailer
