As anyone who’s been here before well knows, I’ve always had a love for movie trailers.

That has waned just a bit as more straightforward commercials have invaded the premovie space (oddly adequate, seemingly most often for beer and cars - not precisely a great combo), but, well done, they’re still just the perfect way to get geeks like me jazzed up for movies months before they even come out.

And now, IFC.com has gone to the trouble of assembling what it considers the 50 greatest trailers of all instance, complete with YouTube clips of each one. As with any list, you can quibble with their choices, but it does contain some real gems.

For example, it has both Spike Lee

pushing “She’s Gotta Have It” in character as Mars Blackmon and a teaser trailer for Sam Raimi’s first “Spider-Man” flick that was dropped considering of when it came out and its rather sensational use of the Twin Towers. From that year alone, both “Watchmen” and easily my restricted favorite trailer of the year, that plug for Spike Jonze’s “Where the Wild Things Are” that features the Arcade Fire song “Wake Up,” both made the cut.

Anyways, I can’t think of a better way to kill up to an hour or so when you should be working on a Friday, so go here, enjoy and have a great weekend. Peace out.
