My All-Time Favorite Movie Trailers part 1

My first rule when going out to the movies is that I must arrive in time to see the trailers. I know some people hate them but for me it's all part of the full movie going experience just like sticky floors and seven dollar popcorn.

The Thing

Love the slow reveal in the beginning not to mention the tagline "Man is the warmest place to hide."

Pink Flamingos

You have to admire a trailer that doesn't use any footage at all of the movie just people's reactions to it.

Don't!

I enjoyed all of the fake trailers in Grindhouse but "Don't!" and its skewering of horror movie cliche's was the funniest.

Master Of The Flying Guillotine

Besides showing the craziness of this 1970's kung-fu movie, the Hong Kong trailer runs approximately twice the length of a typical American trailer.

Psycho

Alfred Hitchcock himself gives a hilariously morbid tour of the Bates Motel and its grounds.
