Tags:
- Companeros(1970) Not available online but on the dvd, use the best action footage by undoubtedly the best action-sequence director of all time and cut it perfectly to the master's music(ennio morricone for those of you who don't know) and you've got the greatest trailer of all time
- Navajo Joe(1966) Go to trailers and save target as... One of the great spaghetti westerns and one of the best trailers and possibly one of the funniest and ridiculous taglines(mostly because it's got nothing to do with the movie) "He doesn't care why he kills, or how"... great stuff
- Grizzly Man(2005) I Cried... "Coyotes" by Don Edwards, check it out.
- The Dead Pool(1988) Average(and worst) dirty harry movie + Guns n' Roses + huge harpoon = kick ass trailer
- The Hitcher(1986) If you love the trailer you'll love the movie, but most are indifferent about both, at best... I adore them both
- The Royal Tenenbaums(2001)the craziness of this movie speaks for itself on why it would have such a great trailer
- Once Upon A Time... The Revolution(1971) Leone, Morricone, Coburn, revolution, dynamite, and an implanted title/tagline like 'duck, you sucker'... it's just not fair
- The Good The Bad And The Ugly(1966)a Spiced up and of course they had to slap a tarantino quote on there but it's still very appealing
- Keoma(1976) Not available online but on dvd, crazy insane spaghetti, likewise trailer
- Death Rides A Horse(1968) Go to trailers and save target as... another great tagline for another great spaghetti with great morricone music... "When you've searched your whole life to find a man, it's a shame you can only kill him once"
- Revolver(1973) How can you go wrong with a trailer well cut to ennio morricone's music? the answer is you can't and it really helps that the material being used is an italian crime masterpiece
- The Good The Bad And The Ugly(1966)b May be super-edited for the special effects generation, but who cares?
- Mannaja: A Man Called Blade(1977) It's all about the end and the axe throwing goodness
- Once Upon A Time In The West(1968) Although the picture quality sucks, it's still the best movie of all time and a damn good trailer, same one can be found with much better quality on the dvd
- The Big Gundown(1966) Go to trailers and save target as... morricone music, Lee van cleef beating the hell out of people, gun vs knife showdowns, brilliant film, great trailer.
- Hard To Kill(1990) Take that to the bank!
- Django(1966) A spaghetti western featuring a dangerous man dragging a machine gun in a coffin with a ridiculously catchy theme song wields a great trailer
- Bring Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia(1974) "You Can't Stop A Man On His Way To Hell!"
- Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid(1973) Again it's all about the music, and trailer music doesn't get much better than Dylan's Knockin on Heaven's Door
- Raising Arizona(1987) Like tenebaums this movie just explodes when condensed down to 2 minutes
- Ride The High Country(1962) Great movie, better music, can't go wrong
- The Forgotten Pistolero(1969) Go to trailers and save target as... great music, great spaghetti western trailer, probably better than the film
- Night Of The Living Dead(1968) best bare minimum trailer there is from the best bare minimum movie of all time
- Cemetary Without Crosses(1969) Go to trailers and save target as... odd spaghetti with lots of gravemarkers
In order of preference
I love trailers, being a fan of obscure and odd genre films it's not hard to understand why, since they usually have the best trailers.
All of these are links to the sites the trailers are linked to directly... not the trailers themselves, most of them it's just a matter of clicking a 'watch' button but a few involve scrolling down a list and then clicking a 'watch' button, but no more than that.
also most of these are television quality full-screen versions of much better picture quality versions found on the dvds.
