Trailer Park: Best Trailer of August

Anyone who loves movies has had at least a grudging love affair with movie trailers.
At their best there is a kind of rough poetry in them. The infamous trailer for Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, in which a sea of blood rolls silently out of a set of opening elevator doors, has a kind of chilly elegance.
And even when they're not at their best, there's a primal appeal in the way trailers make visual chop suey of a movie's most memorable images. The Goldfinger trailer is essentially a collection of jagged, vibrant snapshots, including the famous shot of James Bond spotting the reflection of a potential killer in the eye of a steamy seductress.
