“Goldie's dead,” Mickey Rourke whispers with a load of gravel large enough to fill the bed of an 18-wheeler. In the real world, tough guys in long black leather car coats are douche bags. But in Frank Miller’s graphic novel realm they’re the defenders of whatever morality remains in the hooker-filled streets of “Sin City.” What your eyes may grow accustomed to in a full-length feature they are mystified by in the trailer. How much of that was prosthetic, how much animated, how much prosthetic cartoon? The stark black-and-white style leaves most wide shots a blur with greater focus on whichever sexed up, ultra-violent figure takes center. A glimpse of a red bed, a blonde’s curls, a sociopathic rapist dyed vomit yellow No. 5... just the kinds of things Miller’s drawn to. --Brandon Kim
I guess you guys haven't seen the trailer for The Hughes Bros.'s Dead Presidents, huh? What about Forest Gump? I think those are the 2 greatest of all time. Gump is better than the movie. And Dead Prez is the best ever.
Oh... what about the SW Ep 1 teaser? Maybe you should call this the best film trailers on YouTube! LOL. Dead Prez is probably too hard for you to locate.
I think The Dark Knight, Iron Man, and 300 should be included!
Clerks? No love for the Clerks trailer? Sigh.
Honorable mention for the Grindhouse fake trailers? "Don't" was brilliant.
Great list, by the way. Thanks for including 'Man Who Wasn't There'
Seriously? We have to click 50 times just to get the damn list? No thanks.
Like clicking 50 times is soooo hard, right? But you guys forgot about There Will Be Blood!!
50 PAGES?!!! Get back to work researching how to post an article. No Digg for you.

GREAT article and flawless pick for #1. I actually did a lil piece on that trailer at our own movie blog, so I'm elated to see as your top pick. Yay trailers!
