The Gist

  One of the things I've missed most about going to movie theaters this past year is watching trailers on a big screen. You may think that there are too many trailers before movies nowadays, but you can't deny that there's a special moment right after a really good trailer plays. In that moment, you can feel the excitement of the people in the theater around you, a collective sense of, "wow, we should go see that." That's because trailers are an art form in themselves. They have to tease the most exciting parts of a movie without giving too much away, which is a hard balance to pay off. When done well, they get us invested and leave us with key images and dialogue that stick with us until the film's release. Whether they're giving us an adrenaline rush or making us cry, the following trailers are all absolute winners that you'll want to watch again and again.
