 
One of the teaser trailers from the early 1980s, just happens to be for my favorite movie of all time – Back to the Future. I assume this trailer was filmed early on in the production, as it contains absolutely no footage from the feature film. Most of the earlier teaser trailers were like this (JAWS, Superman: The Movie). It’s insanely cheesy and worth watching. Check out the original teaser trailer for Back to the Future after the jump.

In honor of the fourth of July holiday, we bring you the movie advertisement which has been credited with starting the whole Superbowl advertisement extravaganza (at least in terms of Hollywood films). For those of you you enough not to have seen this advertisement when it first aired in January of 1996, let me tell you – it shocked everyone who was watching. It caught everyone off guard. Most recently people have been comparing the Independence Day tv spot with the new teaser trailer for the JJ Abrams produced monster movie Cloverfield, which is attached to Transformers. I apologize about the jerkiness of the video, but this was the best quality copy I could find. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie trailer after the jump. Because it Could Be Your LAST!

On Saturday, we launched a new feature on /Film called Retro Movie Trailer Flashback. We intended this feature to be a once a week thing, unless we came across something really special or in the case that it was a slow news day. And it turns out both this video and tonight qualify. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer ruled the box office this weekend, and to honor the series we present to you the movie trailer for the 1994 version of The Fantastic Four movie. If you thought Tim Story did a bad job, check this out.
We’ve decided to introduce a new feature here on /Film where we open the vault and bring back some of the great (and even not so great) movie trailers from the past. We have decided to start with one of our favorites, the trailer for the film that made you afraid to go into the water, Steven Speilberg’s Jaws. You have to love the great 1970′s voice over, and the underwater P.O.V. cut-aways. Watch the trailer after the jump.
