The best movie trailer of all time is...

...well, it depends on who you ask. The popular consensus is that it's the trailer for Alien. Do I agree? Well, if you check out my article on the most effective trailers of all time (found here), there's also my list of my own favorite trailers of all time, and I have Alien at #2, not #1. My choice? You'll just have to read and find out, but feel free to post your picks for some of the best trailers ever right here!

  2. Love the article. I've been putting a list together of favorite trailers for awhile. Here are a few of my recent favorites...

    -Little Children
    -The Social Network
    -Blue Valentine
    -Revolutionary Road
    -A Serious Man
    -A Single Man
    -Biutiful (UK version)
    -Where the Wild Things Are

    As you may notice if you've seen a majority of these trailers: music, editing, and sound are used fantastically in expressing these films emotions.
