One of my absolute favorite things about my very first “real” job (I pretty much ran a low-power tv station by myself!) was getting to cut together cool promos for these classic movies we showed every Monday night. And I’m talking classics here like God’s Little Acre with Michael Landon and Buddy Hackett and Charade with the fabulous Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant. I always loved pulling out of context the most obscure bits from these movies and throwing them back together in a completely new context with clever narration (well, I thought it was clever anyway) that really flowed. These days I’m not getting to do any work in that vein so I feed my love for it by over-analyzing the montages at the beginning of my favorite tv shows (what’s left of them) and watching tons of movie trailers. A couple of really great ones hit the web recently so I thought I’d share (in no particular order):

• Spider-Man 2
• The Punisher
• Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
• Alien vs. Predator (internet exclusive)
• The Day After Tomorrow (Watch closely for a glimpse of fellow Southern girl Sela Ward)
• 13 Going on 30
