From The Matrix to a few Star Wars installments, fans have been sharing their picks for the best movie trailers of all time this week. The resulting list is an exciting combination of iconic films, unexpected choices and even some very recent releases.

The conversation was started by the popular account @cinesthetic on Twitter, generating hundreds of responses from users.

"Cliché as hell, but I honestly don't think any trailer got me as excited as the first teaser for The Force Awakens. Maybe The Dark Knight," wrote one fan, naming two of the most mentioned movie titles in the list. The trailers for Christopher Nolan's critically-acclaimed Batman sequel and Star Wars' anticipated return to the big screen in 2015 certainly left their mark, but there are more.

"The Social Network trailer may even be better than the film itself… Its cinematic and that choir singing Creep by Radiohead," commented another one.
