5 Awesome Sites for Movie Trailers
December 2, 2008 by The Dude
APPLE
Yes, Apple. The Mac guys. Apple is probably the kings when it comes to movie trailers. All of the videos have excellent quality and sound as they use Quicktime. Yep, you need to have quicktime installed to watch the trailers but it’s worth it. Who doesn’t have quicktime installed nowadays anyway?
COMING SOON
ComingSoon.net doesn’t actually host too many trailers themselves, but they do have links to all the latest trailers and they are updated daily. I have no idea how they keep on top of this, but they do a brilliant job.
TRAILER ADDICT
Part of the Break Media Empire, Trailer Addict is less than a year old (Started Dec 2007) and already has over 1 million visitors per month. When you visit the site you will see why. All of their trailers are hosted on their own servers and are all flash videos. They even give you the code to embed movie trailers on your own site, if you have one. Trailer Addict is a great source for the latest trailers, make sure you check them out.
HOLLYWOOD.COM
Hollywood.com is also pretty quick to bring the latest trailers. However, it can take a while to watch the trailer. The site does ask a lot of questions about your connection type before starting the trailer itself. This can kinda be a little annoying after a while.
YAHOO!
I put Yahoo! at number 5 because I expect a lot more from Yahoo! The video quality isn’t the greatest as they use a flash player and I always seem to have problems when it comes to watching the trailer. It stalls, freezes, slows down and is generally rubbish. Yahoo! have such a large array of sources available to them, I would like to see a better effort from them. Yahoo! does pick up the occasional exclusive trailer which is the only reason why they made it on the list, but the playback just irritates me. Maybe you will have better luck than I do when it comes to watching them.
