Trailers that don't suck

We've analysed why some trailers suck... If you know any trailers which don't suck, post them here:

Weird thing about this one is Kubrick reveals the end sequence in the trailer. I think that's a mistake but it still works.

Here is are a few trailers of films I've recently worked on, which I think are very well done for micro-budget works--these are all done by the same company (Scorpio Film Releasing), and are edited by Richard Griffin, who shoots and directs the pictures as well.

I'm honestly not promoting here...I've just always been impressed with the trailers they kick out.

*most of these are NSFW, so be warned*

NUN OF THAT:

ATOMIC BRAIN INVASION (albeit the first bit dragging on a touch, pay attention to the second portion):

Are we putting trailers on that don't suck that are also done on a low budget? Or do they just have to be really good?

Most of the first set are high budget films...

I'm putting a handful of micro budget films with solid trailers...just to show that super low-budget films can produce great trailers also.

I've got pains in my sides from watching the trailer. I've gotta see this, anywhere selling this in the UK? I don't fancy being stung for shipping.

Hmmm...We sell it on Amazon and our website. Is there an Amazon UK that can cut your shipping down? Also--I'm not absolutely certain--but there is rumor that it's in Blockbuster UK.

PM me, so we don't sidetrack this thread. Thanks man.
 
Don't worry about sidetracking the thread M1chael. The only way you can sidetrack her is to post a trailer that sucks. Everything else is on topic.
 
Just watched Nun's and Atomic. They looked great and I actually laughed. Both really decent looking trailers. I hope the whole movies are as good. What were they shot on?
 
This is one of my favorite trailers from one of my favorite films of all time, Welles's "F for Fake":

This is the trailer I cut for my first no-budget film, and I firmly believe it doesn't suck:

I'm way more proud of the trailer than I am the film.
 
+1 on the OP's list of Kubrick trailers, especially EWS. When I first saw that trailer 11 years ago, it revealed only two things: Tom Cruise clapped his hands at least once, and I was going to love the hell out of this movie. Which, come to think of it, is what all good trailers should accomplish.

Thank you.

These are all shot on a JVC 3CCD HD camera (720p). At the time it was released it was an $8K camera.

This camera actually: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ...TAL17_GY_HD250CHU_1_3_3_CCD_Professional.html

Not sure why the above camera is listed as $16K...it looks identical to our camera...but double the price. Hmmm...

I'll check Blockbuster tomorrow, I'll PM you if I don't manage to find it. I've shown a few friends the trailer today and they where in hysterics, totally our type of humor, one is also going to pick-up a copy, so there's some free-marketing for you man!

I'm hoping they have 'Black Dynamite' too! Gotta see that.
