For sheer WTF? factor I like ''Matango', (the horrible mushroom!!) The trilogy of Swedish trailers starring Christina Lindberg are also pretty special, particularly all the hardcore slo-mo violence in 'They Call Her One-Eye'. The trailer for 'Blood Spattered Bride/ I Dismember Mama' almost works better as a short film in its own right: it actually seems to have a higher production value than the films it's advertising.
The real acid test of these trailers is whether they actually make you want to see the films in question, so on that score 'Behind Convent Walls','Secret Africa', 'Shocking Asia','Chappaqua', 'Welcome Home, Brother Charles','Boss N!gger' and 'The Bullet Machine' all come across as films actually worth seeing as opposed to artfully advertised crap.
