YouTube Fight! All-Time Best Movie Trailer

email

I was surfing the nets listening to Blip.fm when the Frou Frou song “Let Go” came on, and it reminded me of my first days in New York, and this trailer.

I remember when I first caught this, my friend Rohan exclaimed that it was the best trailer of all time.  I agree completely- forget about the movie itself, pretend you’ve never seen it.  The editing is brilliant, it has this quasi-mystical tone chock-full of WTF moments, and the song is pitch-perfect.

I hope you disagree, because this is, after all, a good old PopTen YouTube fight.  (Also, as a guy who makes movies, you’ll have to forgive my choice- not Memento or Truffaut or Bicycle Thief?!  Fuck.  That. I’m keeping it real.  As real as a coming-of-age Zach Braff tale gets… nevermind.)

Post your favorite trailer in the comments!

    Can you like a trailer if you didn’t like the movie and vice versa? Me, I prefer this, even though it’s not technically a trailer:

    Sin City popped into my mind, but somehow it all comes back to this.

    It told me nothing about the movie… except that I desperately wanted to see it.

    Ok, so this actually isn’t for a movie, but it was shown before movies and it always stuck with me, especially because of the amazing song choice, Mad World.

    And I, like Jamie kept thinking of Sin City, but when I rewatched the trailers, I wasn’t thrilled… the movie is just so much more!

    Jeremy, I agree 300%– the first time I saw this my jaw was fully dropped for a good few minutes afterwards. Sheer genius. Amazed they reclaimed the song from Donnie Darko!
