Do Trailers Help to Sell Movies?

1) Speed Racer
2) Ironman
3) The Happening
4) Get Smart
5) The Great Debaters
6) The Valkyrie
7) Resurrecting the Champ
8) Blindness
9) August Rush
10) The X Files: I Want to Believe
11) Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
12) Flawless
13) The Incredible Hulk
14) Hancock
15) The Strangers

The Top Four Actors (those in the best possible role for them)
--Denzel Washington: He could possibly win some academy awards for this movie.
--Tom Cruise: He needs to make a personal comeback. This could be that project.
--Samuel L. Jackson: He looks like he is trying to make a bid for Best Actor.
--Robert Downey Jr.: It is good to see him back taking positive roles again.

Top Three Actresses (those in the best possible role for them)
--Demi Moore: This looks like a great comeback role. She looks fresh again.
--Julianne Moore: She has done good work in the past, and I hope she strikes again.
--Anne Hathaway: She seems to be taking big girl parts now.

A movie trailer is supposed to sell a movie to the public. These are fifteen very good looking films. Based on the trailers that I saw, "Speed Racer" looks very flashy and eye catching. "Iron Man" looks great based on action and music. "The Strangers" had this skipping record noise that actually worked to repel my attention. I think that those that make trailers do good work. They market well. I enjoy watching trailers. There is an art to it.

I like some of your list, But Hancock should be higher. Mostly though it looks good.

Since you think that Speed Racer has a good trailer how bad do you want to see it?

Speed Racer was the absolute worst for moi. It looked too childish.
