If you want to watch trailers from Apple's trailer page in QuickTime Player instead of in a browser window or through the iTunes Music Store, it can be done pretty easily.

When loading a movie in your favorite browser, view the HTML source for the page and search for .mov. Copy the movie's URL and paste it into the dialog that appears when you select File -> Open URL in New Player (Command-U) in QuickTime Player.

This way, you can view the movie fullscreen if you have QuickTime Pro, and even save the movie to your local drive.
