Amazing Trailers: Garden State

In the technical vernacular, this isn't the Garden State trailer, it's the teaser, but I won't hold that against it. In fact, this really caught my eye the first time I saw it back in 2004. With the longer trailer, you get more of the idea of the story, whereas this is mostly raw images - a knight in a doorway, a flaming arrow, a girl in a pool, a guy blending in with wallpaper. This is a fantastic example of letting the surreal imagery of a film sell it to an audience. When I saw this, I knew I'd plunk down the money to see the whole thing. (Ironically, my girlfriend and I ultimately got to see a preview screening for free and meet Zach Braff.)
