IFC counts down the 50 Greatest Trailers of All Time. One of my favorites is or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), coming in at #7 on the list.

There are many ways to measure a trailer’s quality, from the persuasiveness of its salesmanship to the cleverness of its copywriting. Ultimately, we decided that the best trailers are those that most effectively combine art and commerce, and that sell and entertain with equal skill.

Pity they couldn’t include more than a few square inches of actual content per page. Ten entries per page should be considered the absolute minimum netiquette standards (especially when the “work” involved consists of nothing more than linking YouTube videos), asking for us to invest fifty pages is more akin to hocking a wad of mucous on a strollered baby.
