Great False Advertising

A few months ago, there was a contest (I don't recall who ran it) to see who could put together the best trailer for an old movie. The rules were simple: the contestants had to use the actual movie footage while at the same time making the movie's plot and theme seem as different from the actual movie as possible. You can see the first winner, for "The Shining," here:

There is now a new one for "Sleepless In Seattle" here:

It obviously helps if you have actually seen the movies but knowing about them will suffice.
