Movie trailers lie

You ever watch a movie on DVD, then go to the extras and watch the trailers? It's eye-opening how misleading they often are. There's even a neat website which critiques movie trailers.

In that vein of trailer-based deception, I just found out today that there is a contest called Trailer Park where the goal is to cut spoofy new trailers for old films, using new music and editing to cast it in an entirely different genre.
This one was the winner: http://www.ps260.com/molly/SHINING%20FINAL.mov

Here are some other good ones:
