The site we all know and love for watching TV shows and movies online, Hulu, recently debuted a special section for viewing upcoming movie trailers. The quality is precisely the same as you’ll find with the other content so there aren’t really any surprises there… just a good, reliable source for viewing new trailers including
X-Men Origins: Wolverine. As always, the content you discover on Hulu, including trailers, can be easily shared by email or even embedded on your own blog using a simple snippet of code.
Trailer Addict, “Your Daily Dose of Hi-Def Movie Trailers,” is an entire site dedicated the best eight minutes of any movie-going experience. In addition to recent trailers, the site also offers an immensely-comprehensive selection of trailers from years past. I did a search for Se7en (my personal favorite movie of all time) from 1995 and found the following trailer:
As you can see from the above example, Trailer Addict, much like Hulu, offers the ability to embed its content into your own personal site and even provides you four different sizes from which to choose.
Apple Trailers, for about a decade or more, has always been a reliable site through which to find and view the latest trailers from major and independent studios alike. In addition to consistently being updated throughout a week’s time, the site also offers the viewer a multitude of options for trailer-watchin’. You’ve got three options for high-definition (480p, 720p and 1080p) and three options for standard trailers (a.k.a. “low-def”) for the bandwidth-conscious (small, medium and large.) My only gripe with Apple’s Trailer site lies with its requirement of the QuickTime plugin. I honestly don’t know that I’d ever have a need for this plugin if it weren’t for Apple’s trailer site. QuickTime, in my humble opinion, is horrifically bloated and I tend to avoid it at all costs. But those HD trailers are certainly glorious, though…
Are there other sites out there on the Interwebs through which you prefer to find trailers? Let us know by dropping us a line in the comments. In the meantime, check out the original “trailer” (if you want to call it that) for the 1989, Tim Burton-directed Batman.
