(#10) Tetris
This TETRIS trailer has really made its rounds on the internet for the past few years, but the reason it's on this list isn't because it's simply memorable or because it's relatively well-made (all hail green screen).
It's because it's cheesy, it's 90's and completely ridiculous. Stretching reality and throwing around a concept like they do in this trailer is EXACTLY the type of crap they would pull if it were 1992 and a studio was forced to make a Tetris movie.
Look at the Super Marios Bros. movie, they didn't even TRY. Everything was a huuuuuuuuuge stretch of the imagination to even get into, the situations were cliched and the acting was corny.
This trailer not only brings all that 90's B-Movie wonder back to a new millenium, but brings it into a game even your grandma knows and loves.
The villain in this trailer is another fine example of the 90's cheesiness this trailer takes and makes its own. Absolutely wonderful.(#12) Super Mario Kart
- 1992
Making a movie of just about ANY Mario character would be damned near impossible (see: 1993), so this particular trailer isn't here because it's the greatest trailer in the world.
It's here because it takes an absolutely ridiculously stupid concept for a film (films contain STORY, NARRATIVE), but because of the credits in the rollcall at the end.
This movie uses parts of the Mario Bros movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo, as well as scenes from Peter Jackson's King Kong for Donkey Kong, and scenes from Mario Bros. for Yoshi and makes a really stupid (yet realistic... THIS is how this movie would be, so let's hope this never happens) trailer for a really stupid movie. And it's hilarious.
The last character on the roll calls in the credits at the end of the trailer = why this is on this list. Watch it all, though. Earn it. Enjoy.

(#9) Portal
- 2007
Portal = Cube/Hypercube. Duh.
Remember when Portal first came out? How did you describe it to people?
The smartest way to describe it was basically "it's like Cube, the game". In case you didn't see "Cube", here's the synopsis
CUBE (1997)
7 complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in an endless kafkaesque maze containing deadly traps.The only difference between Cube and Portal is that you seem to be voluntary at first in Portal, you're one person and you have what is arguably the coolest gun in the world.
Trailer uses GLADoS BRILLIANTLY, as well as uses the right clips from Cube to really make it seem as desperate, frustrating and clausterphobic as a Portal movie really would be.
(#13) Mega Man
Personally, I've never cared to see a Mega Man movie for the same reason I thought that seeing an Astro Boy movie was going to be redundant: we've kinda covered the whole Robot-to-Human thing, haven't we?
But with the barrage of not only memorable characters in this trailer, as well as the plot to do something with a purpose, this trailer makes it feel like the first of a series of films, and not so much a whole film. Some GREAT film franchises start like that, though, and we would 100% see this in theatres (if it had better production value). The concept is there, but the execution leaves something to be desired in its value, but who has enough money to do this right (that would actually want to)?
The amount of characters they squeeze in here are ridiculous.
I mean hey, at least the guy playing Mega Man was also REALLY REALLY convincing.
At least he didn't look like this guy.
(#3) BioShock
- 2007
It's insane how many Bioshock movie fan trailers are out there, and how many of them are EXACTLY the same.
This one's slightly different, though, and therefore almost better right off the bat.
This one actually goes as far to show the plane before it crashes, as well as shows the crash (scenes from Castaway, we think). It then goes into the same voice over anyone who's EVER made a fake Bioshock trailer of ANY kind uses, but then goes on to include some really great underwater scenes, as well as scenes of torture, fear and intermixed Little Sister dialogue that makes this trailer effectively creepy.
Well done.
(#8) Paperboy
- 1984
You've always had to wonder, if you sit around all week overanalyzing video games like we do, why the hell did that Paperboy need that paper route THIS bad?
Was it an abuse mother? Was it an abusive father? Obviously this poor kid has SOME serious trouble at home, so much that he would rather be out doing a paper route where dogs, bicycles and ENTIRE TORNADOES would attack him than stay home and just be a kid.
His family might've also had money problems, which sucks for Paperboy because when he loses in the game and you get the "Paperboy Calls It Quits" screen, it means that the kid has given up on life. No more. No more eating, no more paying water/utilities.
He's done.
This film captures this torture a little bit, but would be much better if the voice over artists took themselves a LITTLE more seriously. This would be way up the list if they had.
