And finally, we have the very best, the ones that I have and will be playing over and over again, reliving the thrill a million times over.

#5. Kill Bill

I was unaware of who Quentin Tarantino was when I saw this trailer :-) . Needless to say, all that changed fairly quickly. This trailer (and/or its music) has remained on my playlist even after all these years.

#4. The Fountain

There is something hauntingly beautiful about this trailer that makes me watch it again and again, and again…

#3. 9

Another playlist favourite. The music and the visuals are top-notch, and keep you coming back for one more look, every time.

#2. 300

“Spartans! Tonight, we dine.. in hell!!” .. An amazingly well-done trailer that is visually and aurally appealing on so many levels. The song.. the quotes.. everything about this was immensely memorable. Again, a playlist regular.

and, numero uno is…

#1. Sin City

I don’t have much to say except that I can watch this trailer in a loop for hours on end without getting bored. Seriously!!

#10. Batman Begins

Nolan managed to do the impossible – revive a franchise that was almost permanently killed off by one of the worst superhero movie ever made, Batman and Robin. This trailer erased any bad taste left by the previous one, rebooting the franchise in a darker, grittier (and much more realistic) world.

#9. The Departed

Having never seen Infernal Affairs, or any Scorcese movies, the trailer just blew my mind. The premise, the cast, the music. It was just .. ‘wow’! and, ‘Comfortably Numb’.. :-)

#8. The Dark Knight

The first look at Ledger’s Joker. An early glimpse at a movie that raised the bar in so many ways. All in all, all things considered, FANTASTIC!

#7. Spiderman WTC Trailer

Though the trailer (and the associated movie bits) were removed out of respect to the victims of 9/11, there couldn’t be a more fitting debut to a franchise that re-invigorated the superhero franchise in Hollywood, than this trailer. Miles ahead of the “alternate” trailer they came up with.

#6. Watchmen

A beautiful look at a visually astounding adaptation of one of the best graphical novels ever.
