What are actual good movie trailers that get you hooked without spoiling everything?

Kind of in response to an earlier post in here about trailers that spoil everything, I think it is easier nowadays to count how many didn't spoil everything.

I would claim that the trailer showing a sinking Titanic wasn't that big of a spoiler.
Pan the movie all you want, but the trailers for The Phantom Menace were outstanding.
- It revealed mauls lightsaber though.
  
  Was that ever a thing? Not revealing lightsabers? I certainly don't remember that and I lived through it.
The Into the Spider-Verse trailer avoids the plot twists and reveals while showing off their new animation style. I think there’s one or two lines and scenes in the trailer that didn’t make the movie itself, I don’t remember Miles and Peter sitting on a subway bench having a conversation. (It may have been a red herring, to avoid showing the actual scene with additional characters.)

Watched the trailer for civil war recently, and that has me interested without giving very much away
The trailers to the Matrix just made you want to watch the movie.
The trailer for Koe no katachi (A Silent Voice) is powerful and conveys its theme without spoiling anything (imho):
