A while back I started a YouTube playlist listing some of my favorite movie trailers. I was surprised to see there was to see a lot of overlap:

Some of my favorites that were not mentioned include an unused teaser trailer for Panic Room, the trailers for Eraserhead, Dark City, Sin City, Primer, the re-release trailer for THX-1138, and a pretty terrible but visually stunning Japanese live-action anime Casshern. I love trailers that establish a unique tone, and setting. I love the trailer for the original Nightmare on Elm Street because it is so quintessentially 80s, complete with the original New Line Cinema logo.
One trailer which I love is for a film that was never actually finished. It is a indie, martial arts noir film called Those Who Go To Hell. It has some great black and white photography for a no-budget digital indie movie. It uses “Breeze – In Monochrome Night” from the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack to good effect, and gives a good sample of the quality fight choreography that you find in indie action movies.
