The 50 Greatest Trailers of All Time

The 50 Greatest Trailers of All Time (photo)

From "Watchmen" to "The Minus Man," we count down the greatest trailers out there.

No one knew quite what to make of a Wes Craven movie starring up-and-coming actress Rachel McAdams and Irish thespian Cillian Murphy, and the opening of the trailer for “Red Eye” doesn’t clear much up. With its shots of the jumble and bustle of airport hassles and a meet cute between the two leads, it could be setting up any number of romantic comedy plotlines. The couple are waiting out the delay for their overnight flight to Miami, and flirt over Tex Mex in an airport restaurant before realizing they’re seated together on the flight. “You’re not stalking me, are you?” Murphy asks, in the low, gurgly American accent he adopted for the role. Then a look is exchanged between the couple, with the shot of Cillian Murphy’s crazy blue peepers irising into a single eye, which suddenly glows a rather Satanic red. “Sometimes bad things happen to good people,” we hear him say, and with that it seems clear that Craven has gone for chills over conventional horror: the tone of his excellent psychological thriller is set, and so were the calendars of millions of moviegoers. –Michelle Orange
