Movie Trailers

This is going to sound weird but whenever I see a great movie trailer with a great musical selection, chances are that is one of the rare movies I will actually go to the theater to watch. Here are some of my favorite trailers, they also happen to be some of my favorite movies. Go figure.

Take for example, Watchmen (2009)

Not only did I watch this in theaters on opening day, I saw it in IMAX and it was awesomely awesome. It is one of those movies I can watch multiple times and the only reason I went to see it at all was because of this trailer. I had never even heard of the graphic novel! I think the whole soundtrack for this movie is great. The song in this trailer is The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning by Smashing Pumpkins.


I present, he trailer for Inception. It doesnt really have "music" I know. The movie was so great I was left frozen in my seat for a few minutes after it ended. Such a cool movie!



Right now, there are two movies that I am truly looking forward to based on kick ass movie trailers with perfect music.

The Social Network (October 1st). This movie actually has two trailers that have inspired me to watch. The first one is the version you see in theaters right now.

This song is a cover of Radiohead's Creep done by a Belgian women's choir.


But on TV, there is another trailer that REALLY made me want to see this movie.
 
This song is Power by Kanye West. Its as if Kanye wrote the song specifically for this. I think its such a great fit for this movie because of the story behind the creation of Facebook, at least from what I've read. Also, is it weird that I have a small crush on Jesse Eisenberg? I've had one ever since I saw him in Zombieland.

Another movie that sparked my interest, Tron (December 17th). In fact, I will go and dig up a copy of the first movie so that I can be "prepared" for the new one when it comes out.

The musical score for the movie is by Daft Punk so I'm looking forward to that!
