The 2009 RyMickey Awards - Trailers

I posted these ten contenders for the Top Movie Trailers of 2009 a few months ago. Here's the order of how I'd place them.

#10 -- Up

Reminding us of their already spectacular feats, the folks from Disney/Pixar crafted a great trailer here.

#9 -- District 9

What a teaser trailer should be.

#8 -- Precious: Based on the Novel "Push" by Sapphire

I can't really tell you why, but from the first time I saw this trailer, I wanted to see more of this movie. Something about the performances really shined through.

#7 -- (500) Days of Summer

The hip romance of the year had an awesome trailer with some great music from the likes of Regina Spektor and Hall and Oates...it's a shame the movie couldn't live up to it.

#6 -- Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!

NSFW. Nudity, violence, fighting kangaroos...who wouldn't want to see this?

#5 -- A Serious Man

The repetition is what makes this trailer nifty...well, that and the kickass Jefferson Airplane song. It totally lets us know the quirkiness that lies ahead.

#4 -- Star Trek

What action trailers should all be like. Tell us a tiny bit of the story...tease the action...but don't give it all away.

#3 -- Fantastic Mr. Fox

There was no other trailer this year from which you could cull so many clever quotes and, unlike many other trailers this year, it lived up to the expectations it set.

#2 -- A Single Man

With not a word spoken and nary a clue as to what the movie's about, the music and visuals of this one just pulled me in.

#1 -- Where the Wild Things Are

Best use of a song in a trailer in ages (possibly of all time?).
