    To start us off, we bring you one of the most well-loved and highest grossing action-superhero films of all time... made into an aspiring story about recovery, self-discovery and friendship.

    Harvey Dent (two-face) suffers a disfiguring accident in the midst of his wonderful, perfect life. He loses all hope until... his friends hire a clown to be his nurse. A clown that is a friend. A clown that can cheer him up. Their unbreakable bond doesn't only nurse Dent back to health, but back to his life.

    The Joker as a Patch Adams character is probably the most original and best idea on this list..
  2. 2
    Mary Poppins as a horror movie where a woman who sings creepily comes into your house and terrorizes your children. Brilliant.

    Everything from the mood, to the choice editing, to even the audio comes together to creep you out that some possessed English nanny is going to float her ass through your window while you sleep.

    This trailer is creepier than the real preview for Rosemary's Baby.
  3. 3
    Mrs. Doubtfire (a hilarious, heartwarming story about a father who loves his children too much to let a divorce stand in the way) is portrayed in this trailer as a thriller about a man obsessed with a group of children so much that he infiltrates their home in the guise of a nanny... Mrs. Doubtfire!

    Logically, this is not too much of a stretch, which is why it is genius. Think about it, if someone pitched you an idea about a man dressing as an old woman to get hired as a nanny to get closer to his own children, you would call the police.

  4. 4
    For a Stephen King purist, Kubrick's "The Shining" is already a cruel twisted joke on the masterful written material.

    So, here is Kubrick's The Shining, recut into a trailer that makes this classic masterpiece look like something even cheesier than Jerry McGuire.

    Watch this whole thing, but if you're a fan of The Shining, the most well-done, and ridiculous part of the video comes at 1:10, where the inspiring, light-hearted montage features Jack kissing someone which seems nice and appropriate in this trailer until you figure out who that someone is... that someone is the corpse from the bathtub scene.
  5. 5
    What if The Big Lebowski was about Donnie? What if it was about how great of a guy he was and how much The Dude and Walter missed him when he was gone?

    This trailer gives the audience exactly what they were clamoring for: more Donnie. Forget all the useless stuff about sex, kidnapping, and identity confusion, Donnie is where the money is.

    The way they use Walter's quote about living in the past is absolute genius.

      The best thing about "The Room" is that it tries to be everything from drama to comedy to thriller to softcore p**n, and does none of them with any amount of competence.

    Brilliant! Actually makes me wish they were doing a remake/recut with this as the angle.
