When I’m not watching movies, I can be found watching trailers – both old and new, because sometimes these trailers are so well-done they can stand alone as entire works of art. Below are two of my favorites, featured here for their flawless blend of music and motion.

1. Watchmen

Although the movie itself was a bit of a letdown the trailer promised something extraordinary. The Smashing Pumpkin’s song, coupled with some pivotal movie moments really made it happen.

2. Where the Wild Things Are

I have supremely high hopes for this movie based on the theatrical trailer. Seriously, it was so moving that some tears were shed after I initially saw this. More tears were shed when I saw it the second time. If all goes well, I’ll cry a bucketful at the actual screening.
