Default Digital Movie Trailers Done Right: Apple's Quicktime Movie Trailers

http://www.apple.com/trailers/

I'm not a huge fan of Quicktime as a format for video, but I'll say this much: if you're a movie fan like I am, and you like watching trailers of upcoming movies, there's no site as fast, simple, and high quality as Apple's movie trailer page. The only reason I install the Quicktime player is to watch movie trailers, because Apple has made it a simple two-click process to see a trailer, and they always offer a large broadband version of the trailer. It's also a great way to see trailers for upcoming movies - I had no idea that I, Robot was coming out this year. Looks cool! I wish there was a way to get content like this on mobile devices - I'd love to watch a few new movie trailers every day on my WiFi-equipped Pocket PC if there was an easy way to do it.

Any other movie fans out there?

Movie trailers were one of the first things I viewed after getting broadband. They do have quite a few good trailers...and videos..

I Love movies, I wish there was easier ways to get them on my ppc. I have to say that quicktime movies do look great, to bad there's no quicktime for the ppc, that would be very nice.

Hollwood.com have a reasonable selection of trailers - often in high quality WMV9

I love the New Harry Potter trailer. Hermonie Granger rocks my world! and I can't wait to see a real view of the Hippogriff.

Alien V. Predator looks interesting too, but you can tell that the plot is going to be bad.

Check out PPCVIDZ at http://www.ppcvidz.com/small/smallindex.asp
They have a bunch that stream nicely to the PocketPC. Also some live cams that work well.

Will Smith is in I, Robot? I'll skip it...he still owes me 7.50 for ID4.
