For all those who doubt the existance of trailers being a wonderful piece of film on their own, I say behold the Clockwork Orange one...

I thought the trailer for the Shining interesting in that it revealed nothing;

Kill Bill has some cool ones

Was that a real trailer?

Stuart, this is unrelated kinda, but I was wondering if you could maybe help me (seeing as u seem to be a kubrick fan) understand why Kubrick had a sudden burn out effect with me, as far as the fact that he was once my favorite director and now I don't give a **** what he does, or did (I guess he's dead now, but u get it)?

The Pearl Harbor trailer was incredible. Way better than the movie.

By far, the greatest trailer ever filmed is the one for Hitchcock's Psycho...Come to think of it, a lot of his trailers were perfect.

The trailer for The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003 version) was so good that the movie grossed 80 million at the box office because of it, much more than it had any right to otherwise...

Well Hill Dawson Kane that is a tough question. I certainly don't think he's a novelty (far to talented to be that). But my best guess is that his pieces are far to analytical to have entertainment power that stays. Cause watching his movies sometimes seems like your researching filmmaking. That's my best guess.

Was that supposed to have sound? Anyway I just got Clockwork Orange, can't wait to see it. Just for the record Night Watch had a cool trailer.

You were joking about that being a good trailer right...(clockwork orange 1)

That trailer was kick ass man! How could he be joking!?

Ace Ramano.

Commando. Oh, wait, that whole movie just SEEMED like one big ass trailor. Arnold included.

I liked the trailers for Forest Gump, Carlitos Way, Gladiator, Road to Perdition and Saving Private Ryan. And also, A Fistful of Dollars. "This poncho belongs to the man with no name." Ahhh, Clint Eastwood rocks.

Actually, i think for one of the dolalr films the trailer has the second greatest tagline ever (I think it was for a few dollars more), "In a place where life has no value, death has a price!"

Interesting factoid about the Shining trailer...apparently when Kubrick sent it to the MPAA for approval, they rejected it because of the "blood in the elevator" shot, so Kubrick went over there and convinced them that the blood was actually rusty water(!), and it got through...wow, either the MPAA must have been pretty clueless back then, or Kubrick might really be the willful psychological genius many claim he is.

Hahaha! That's amazing.

I didn't like the Clockwork Orange trailer either, btw.

I would have to say most Hitchcock movies are great simply because Hitchcock handled them himself. It's great cause in these days when studios just hire some company to do it.

I really love the teaser for The Birds, where Hitchcock is talking about mankind's history with birds and as he's saying it the sound of the birds outside get louder until Tippi Hedren comes in and says "They're Coming!" Awesome stuff.

Hey Stuart, When i say the name of the post i imediately thoguht of the A Clockwork Orange Trailer. I can't believe someone else thoguht of this. This is amazing. It it my favorite trailer ,but i saw it after i saw the movie mayby thats why i like it so much. Thise is also one of my favorite movies so maybe i just like the trailer because i liked the movie...Wait no The Trailer IS AMAZING.
Stuart we should talk about this movie in a different post and say why we like it so much. pm me. This is my second fav movie after pulp fiction(it was a great inspiration, dont really want to watch it a few months or a year. cause i have watched it like 15+ times)and my third fav movie being Amelie.

EDIT- some spelling
