Misleading Trailers

A collection of fake movie trailers

My friend Joy asked me if I’d seen The Shining, the classic Stephen King movie. I saw it years and years ago, on an ancient technology known as a “VCR”, if you can believe that. (I have read the book — an even more ancient technology — several times.) She asked me if I’d seen the trailer on YouTube. This is where it gets awesome. Check out this misleading trailer.

~~I love it! It’s an entirely new genre of web fun! Has anyone found any more of these?~~

Update: Apparently I’m almost exactly one year late on this one.

Here are a few more:

Fight Club
Sleepless in Seattle
Big
Titanic
Star Wars
Top Gun

A few years ago I was trying to determine what cocktails I could make with the alcohol I had at home. I searched the App Store but couldn't find an app that would let me do that, so I built one.
