What are your picks for best and worst movie trailers?

I almost skipped catching Sinners in the theatre because the trailer was so bad. It made me think about how much a trailer can make or break a movie, especially at the box office. What are your favourite examples of good trailers and bad trailers.

Especially if there are good trailers for bad movies and vice versa. Those ones are the most entertaining.

Battle: Los Angeles. I was 14 when the trailer came out and it got me so so excited until I watched the movie and realized that I was taken in.

The teaser trailer for The Green Knight is impeccable. Shame the movie wasn't able to hold up to the same standard.</br></br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoJc2tH3WBw</br></br>As far as bad trailers go, holy cow the trailer for Cast Away has gotta be up there for the worst of all time. It takes "giving away the entire movie" to a whole other level.</br></br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8L0m9HeXBE

I loved the trailer for Inception, mainly because of its sound design and that one scene where Paris or wherever bends and flips over onto itself. So sick. Chirssy Nolan tends to have really good trailers, tbh

Replying to Lucas.: oh yeah he does, changed the game with that trailer too. So many BWOAHHHs after that

The 28 Years Later trailer is one of the best I've seen lately. That Kipling poem reading gives me chills.
