To get a listing of the trailer/teaser music available in our database, you can select to browse by film title:

TRAILER MUSIC LIST - To browse the titles of the films select the letter or number of which the title begins with.

The following list is a list of the music used in some trailers for motion pictures, based on the orignal trailer list developed by IMDb's Michel Hafner. You can help completing this list by mailing additions to mail@soundtrack.net.

Please keep in mind, if it's not listed here on the site already, it's probably because we don't know about it! So DO NOT email us questions about what music was used in what trailer. SUCH INQUIRIES WILL BE DELETED!!

If trailers / teasers are for TV please specify. Please mail us additions only if you are positive. The titles are the same as the ones used in the Internet Movie Database which you can check for further information about the movies.

Sometimes TV spots are included and fall under the same circumstances.

INTERNET TRAILER - INTERNET TRAILER : These trailers are usually created exclusively for the internet, and might contain music not used in the theatrical release versions.
