I can't help myself, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the re-cut trailers people do, so I'm starting a challenge!

The Challenge:
Re-mix/Re-cut an original trailer of your own for any FEATURE FILM of your choosing. The idea is for it to be a convincing trailer, but one that turns the original idea of the movie on its head.

EXAMPLES

The Shining as a feel-good flick:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoNnyOq6PYc

Garden State as a thriller:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ1318KFSZk

Sleepless in Seattle as a thriller:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI89JJ-fxbs

The 10 Commandments as a teen-flick:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwsOz1a9hT8

West Side-Story as a zombie flick:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x25jVzVP1bY

School of Rock as a thriller:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98DCYjZ_pLQ

Cabin Fever as a drama:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ6DyuzWlzM

Big as a thriller:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bF_U17A51Ug

Swingers as a thriller:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bAoPlm5Y2w

Top Gun as a DIFFERENT kind of love story:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekXxi9IKZSA

RULES
1. It has to be a re-cut trailer for a feature film! You can, of course use more than one movie and cut it together. But I think they're more fun to watch when it's all footage from the original movie because it shows how you can spin the same footage in a totally different way. But if done right, intercutting clips can work as well. For instance, using voice clips from an actor from a different role as a voiceover.
2. There's no time-limit. If you make something really long and boring that's your own fault! Haha.
3. There is no limit on the amount of times you can enter. Don't be stupid about it though. I trust you vidders here know a thing or two about putting hard work into something.
4. Upload the vid to Putfile or YouTube for your entry.
5. I'll devise some kind of voting system to determine the winners. It'll be voted on by you guys, in other words.
6. Entries accepted until the end of September! *NEW!*
7. Banners/Avis will be made by yours truly for the winners/participants and the first-place winner will get a prize (probably a DVD or something) if he or she trusts me enough with their home address.
8. In addition to posting the link here in the thread, please e-mailthem to me.

Oh, I SO want to do this! Will have to see if I can get some movie footage, though. And an idea. An idea would be good, too...

Regardless whether I can enter it or not, I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing the entries! And thanks for those links, too! I LOVE re-cut trailers, too!

I don't have any ideas.. but this contest sounds awesome. I'll just be glad to see everyone's entries. Can we have public voting as apposed to a poll? I got some gremlins on my movie poster competition trying to mess it up
